Fowey has a long history of boat building, fishing, trade and the occasional pirate. Today, especially in summer, there is always something happening on the water – small fishing boats, visiting yachts, dinghy racing, the occasional boat exporting local china clay and sometimes a cruise ship – all of which you can watch from the apartment or sitting on our terrace. Fowey, being on the Cornwall coast path, is a popular base for walkers. Small motor boats, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are available for hire on the river or alternatively catch the ferry to Polruan or Bodinnick?
The narrow streets of Fowey boast a number of boutique shops and galleries together with a good choice of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Local attractions such as the Eden Project, Lanhydrock, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Charlestown just a short drive away. There is also a daily boat trip to Mevagissey during the summer.

Our fourth holiday in a great house with beautiful views. Very well equipped, clean and comfortable, and feels like a home from home where we can relax and unwind. The location is great, shops restaurants and amenities are all within a short walk.

The view is stunning. The apartment had everything that we could need and was lovely and comfortable.The car park was very reasonably priced for a weeks use, but it was a bit of a trek and may not be the best for anyone slightly infirm.

Very peaceful, perfectly situated with incredible views from living room and upstairs front bedroom. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all esentials for cooking. Washing machine and dishwasher worked well. Pictures are accurate. Debbie was helpful and responsive when needed, although I had no problems. High ceilings, feels very spacious. Great walks around the coast from your front door. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again.
