Property code: OC-P00860

Set off on a romantic escape in this cosy couple’s bolthole in the charming riverside town of Fowey. Spend quality time together in the open-plan living space with far-reaching countryside views or in the tranquil garden. Explore the coastal path, seafood restaurants and beaches surrounding you in this idyllic corner of Cornwall.

Inside this private annexe is a bright and homely open-plan living space with a contemporary kitchen boasting a breakfast bar for dining in with a bottle of bubbly. Next to this is a comfortable sofa and a SmartTV. Continue into the bedroom which has a super-king-size bed – which can be converted into twin beds on request. The contemporary en-suite bathroom with marble-effect tiling has a walk-in rainfall shower. Outside is a garden which can be accessed via metal stairs, where you can find seating and countryside views.

During your stay in a quiet area of Fowey, the centre of the town is 0.5 miles away where you can discover an abundance of independent seafood restaurants, cafes and bars. On a rainy day, head to the Aquarium or visit the boutique shops.

Catch a ferry across the river to the small village of Polruan (1 mile) – where more coastal paths can take you to National Trust Lantic Bay (2.5 miles) and Pencarrow Head (5.5 miles). Another ferry takes you to Bodinnick where you’ll find Hall Walk nature reserve (1 mile).

A lovely five night stay at this amazing property, just a short walk into the town. Cliff and Lin have thought of everything. The welcome goodies on arrival were exceptional and not expected, the view was very good, shower excellent and it was a bonus to have a super king bed which was very comfortable.

This is an ideal place for a trip to Fowey. Clean, well equipped and comfortable. It is in a quiet location with a parking space. It is only a short walk down the hill to the town, the Polruan ferry and the coastal path. A great place to stay.

Everything was just as it should be could not fault any of it the reason for my location score being one less than the others is because it was a bit of a mountain climb from the town to the accomodation but it was compensated by the view when one got to the premises
