Property code: OC-CHVIEW

This smart, four-bedroom house sits on the hill just above Fowey Harbour, close to the heart of town. A sanctuary-like master suite, companionable living space and private courtyard garden make it a great setting for a big group or multi-generational getaway.

Gather friends or family for a memorable stay in Fowey – this three-storey property has plenty of space for you all to enjoy time together. Just 100 metres uphill of the historic harbour, it welcomes guests into a pastel-coloured open-plan living room, with seating arranged before a wood burner-style electric heater, and a bay window giving views across the water. To the rear of this space is a dining suite with room for eight; close by, steps lead to a stylish kitchen – home to all the self-catering must-haves and a separate utility room and WC. Home-from-home essentials such as a Smart TV, Nespresso coffee machine, range-style cooker and dishwasher are all provided while, upstairs, there’s a fabulous family bathroom for a fresh start to each new day. Three peaceful bedrooms offer night-time flexibility: one has a king-size bed, one has twin beds and the other has bunk beds. On the top floor, the spacious master suite has a king-size bed, sloping ceilings and an excellent harbour view, plus its own shower room. For a breath of fresh air, step from the kitchen into the high-walled courtyard garden where there’s sofa-style outdoor seating on a decked area.

Explore Fowey’s cobbled streets and you’ll find a town steeped in history – alongside the busy shops, bars and restaurants, you’ll want to visit the beach at Readymoney Cove and, above it, the ruins of 15th-century St Catherine’s Castle – the smallest in Cornwall. To explore further afield, take the ferry across the river to Polruan, an ancient fishing village with a proud boat-building heritage. Alternatively, drive to the renowned Eden Project, 9 miles away, or Charlestown (8 miles), famous for its tall ships and synonymous with the TV series Poldark.

  • 4 bedrooms – 2 king-size, 1 with twin single beds, 1 bunk-bed
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 family bathroom with bath, shower over and WC; 1 en-suite shower room with WC. Downstairs WC

  • Walled courtyard garden with table and chairs
  • Parking in a public car park (0.2 miles) uphill from the property
  • Pub x 2 200 metres, basic supplies shop 400 metres (4 min walk), beach 0.5 miles (15 min walk)

We have just returned from a blissful stay at Harbour View. We came here 12 years ago, but it has had quite the makeover since then! It is so comfy, so beautifully decorated, extremely well equipped and the views and location are perfect. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Very well equipped and appointed house throughout. Great views from front rooms. Quiet location, yet central. Walking from the house to the coastal path is easy. Excellent eateries and bakeries in Fowey. Recommend getting groceries delivered as Fowey is steep.

We have had the most amazing and memorable christmas - so much to do around Fowey we haven't needed to use the car. Fowey is beautiful, exhilarating walks and the sun shone! Harbour View House has everything we needed and more. It has been an absolute treat! Thank you.
