Just metres from the harbour’s edge in Fowey, this top-floor apartment is a wonderful couple’s retreat. After a day out on the water, hiking in the countryside or exploring the town, return to its relaxing lounge and enjoy picture-perfect views across to Polruan and the sea.
Access the property, on the fourth floor of an Edwardian villa, via 60 steps through the garden and along a raised walkway - and it’s well worth the climb. From the spacious lounge the sea views are simply wonderful. Sit back in the loungers and enjoy the ever-changing sea vistas at any time of the day, from your morning cuppa to a nightcap. If you can bear to draw the curtains, there’s also a separate sofa facing the TV and DVD, so nights in will never be boring. The spacious kitchen/diner is light and bright, and has a dining table in one corner from which there’s an angular view of the harbour. The king-sized bedroom is decorated in pastel tones for a tranquil feel, and there’s a bathroom with a shower over the bath. As for outside space, you’re welcome to use the shared, sheltered lawn and outdoor furniture at the rear of the property.
The sandy beach at Readymoney Cove is around 150m away and it is less than half a mile by foot into the centre of Fowey to visit its variety of boutique shops, art galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants. It’s all about the water in Fowey, and visitors can take advantage of the many maritime activities on offer such as kayaking, fishing, boat trips and river cruising. There are also numerous scenic walking and cycling routes in the area. The world-famous Eden Project, not to be missed, is only 7 miles, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are 14.5 miles.
