Central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Terrace with garden furniture. No smoking.. Roadstead is a fine three bedroom riverfront property offering spacious, comfortable accommodation and superb river views from every room. The ground floor living room stretches the length of the house, with dual aspect windows that frame the water like a pair of bright, shifting paintings. On the lower ground floor, French doors open onto a large sun terrace with sweeping views of the river, Polruan, and the open sea. It’s the sort of place where breakfast drifts into daydreams as boats glide past like lazy brushstrokes.
The house sits along the Esplanade, just a short walk from the town centre, the harbour, shops, restaurants and cafes. Wander the other way for ten to fifteen minutes and you’ll reach the sandy curve of Readymoney Cove. It’s an easy pick for a family holiday or for couples sharing who want river light and coastal wandering at their doorstep.
The town adds its own rhythm through the year. In May, the Literary Festival of Books and Music fills the streets with stories and song, along with open days at local art galleries and gardens. August brings the annual Sailing Regatta, a bright tangle of masts and friendly rivalry on the water. As the year cools, late November into early December hosts a cheerful Christmas Market, with the scent of spices and pine drifting through the lanes. And only fifteen minutes away by car, the Eden Project offers its otherworldly biomes for days when you want to step into a different climate entirely.

This is the second time we have stayed here and would definitely stay again. You are near to the beach and the shops and there is always something going on on the water for you to look at. The house is very well equipped too.

We’ve been holidaying in Fowey for 27 years. For around 10 we’ve stayed at Roadstead and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else - it is perfect.
