Riverview is a wonderful, spacious and well equipped 3 bedroomed property overlooking Fowey. The house is well laid out, well presented, and the view from the master bedroom is spectacular. The house sits at the top of Fowey with a steepish walk down to the quayside and shops but with plenty of places to pause if you need to (including a friendly pub about half way down for refreshments!). There are town shuttle buses running every 10-15 minutes throughout the day which will stop right outside the house if you don’t fancy the walk back up. Also a 20 minute walk away was pretty Readymoney Cove.We found plenty of short trips to do during the day - Charlestown, Newquay zoo, Truro, Eden Project, wandering around the pretty shops in Fowey itself - before returning back to Riverview in the evening to relax. We ate out a few times in Fowey where there are plenty of eateries (advisable to book in advance for evening meals because they get quite busy).I would thoroughly recommend Riverview for your stay in Fowey. It will not disappoint 😊

Great house in a beautiful location. House is very clean and spacious. Everything you possibly need. Great views of the river from the 1st floor. Short walk into Fowey and the beautiful harbour. Downside is the walk back up a steep hill, will be challenging for the less mobile. (there are buses though)Highly recommended!

We loved our stay and will definitely be back as we are frequent visitors to the area. The house is situated down the hill from the road so is very peaceful. The equipment provided was excellent. Beautiful views across the estuary and beyond - the main bedroom is idyllic for waking up to such. Alas, during our stay, we weren’t very well so chillaxed in the wonderful garden and on the patio area. We had one issue during our stay and notified the caretaker of such, and her communications were very prompt.
