Property code: OC-P00840

A charming cottage tucked away in a quiet part of Fowey, this characterful home makes a cosy, relaxing base for a fantastic Cornish holiday with friends or family, and your four-legged companion. The cottage has an abundance of character, and is moments away from the shops and pubs in the heart of Fowey.

With stylish hues and nautical features, the cottage makes a calming space to come back to after a fun day out. Step into the attractive living/dining room with a decorative fireplace, a Smart TV and DVD player, and space for chilling and dining together. The kitchen may be compact, but it has everything you need to cook hearty meals. Upstairs on the first floor is the light and bright king-size bedroom, the shower room and snug with a day bed where stairs go up to the third bedroom with twin beds (2’6”). Outside, let your furry friend potter while you enjoy a morning cuppa or glass of something in the evening and watch the world go by.

Explore Fowey’s collection of shops and boutiques, pop to the harbourside cafes, pubs, and restaurants. Fans of Daphne du Maurier will enjoy the Literary Centre and the Fowey Festival of Words and Music held in May each year, which celebrates local authors, artists, and musicians. Catch the ferry to Polruan and walk to Lantic Bay (2.5 miles from Fowey), visit the sandy bay of Readymoney Cove (0.5 miles) along from Fowey to sunbathe and swim. Two of Cornwall’s most popular attractions are within driving distance, the Eden Project (6 miles) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (14.5 miles). Explore Fowey Aquarium where many of the specimens have been brought in by local fishermen.

A very disappointing rental. The property is shabby and tired in many respects the kitchen is particularly poor but the main bedroom is comfortable.

This cottage is in a fantastic location. We missed it in the description but the loft stairs to the 2nd twin bedroom is very steep and the hatch is only 400mm wide which is very narrow. Unless you are very nimble you may struggle with access.

We loved the cottage - it was comfortable and well laid out. The location was superb, in the heart of town, but nice and quietly tucked away. The birds squawking and the church bells going off every hour through the night took a little getting used to - I can see where Daphne du Maurier got her inspiration for The Birds! Car parking was about Read more15 mins walk and that got busy at the end of the day when we returned from our day trips, so we sometimes had to wait for a space, but we always got one. All in all, a lovely cottage and Id definitely stay again. Hide
