This sweet Victorian property in Fowey is half a mile from the beach, down the road from a local pub and uniquely hidden behind the historic church of St Fimbarrus. With so much to explore and enjoy on your doorstep, this holiday home for five is the perfect base to make memories with your friends and family.
Dust off sandy shoes and enter this charming holiday cottage, where a spacious lounge/diner invites you to put your feet up. The pretty lounge is ideal for unwinding with loved ones while your head chef rustles up something delicious for the whole family. Crack open a bottle of fizz around the table or take your drinks outside for a nightcap under the stars. Before heading to bed, run your beach towels and waterproofs through the outhouse washer/dryer so they’re ready to use by sunrise. Get a good night’s sleep in one of two comfortable beds: one first-floor king with stacks of storage space and a cosy three-bedded room on the top floor, ideal for the little ones. Wake up feeling refreshed and raring to go with a morning coffee in the courtyard and the church bells in the background.
Start your day with a half-mile stroll down to the famous harbour. Follow the narrow winding streets and stumble across a plethora of welcoming eateries, quaint seaside cafes, and souvenir shops. Have a paddle, build sandcastles and catch crabs from the rockpools of Readymoney Cove (0.5 miles from the cottage). If other beach adventures are on the cards, visit more local shores, including Peel Cove, Polridmouth Cove, Sandy Cove and Blackmore Beach, all within 4 miles. Work up an appetite, and stop by the parlours of Fowey Esplanade for a traditional cream tea or a Cornish pasty. Avid walkers will be in their element, too, due to the sheer number of trails, treks and glorious coastal paths available from the property.
