Secret Garden Cottage in Fowey, Cornwall, is praised for its excellent location, cleanliness, and charming garden. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds, though some mention the spiral staircase may not suit everyone. The cottage's historical charm and quiet setting make it a delightful stay.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it was 'exceptionally clean' upon arrival. This suggests a well-maintained property.
The location is consistently described as excellent, with the property being centrally situated in Fowey, making it convenient for guests to explore the town.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy. However, some concerns about the adequacy of heating and the size of the second bedroom slightly lower the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, there are comments about the need for maintenance, such as updating the TV and addressing a musty smell, which affects the score.
Guests find the inclusion of tea and milk thoughtful, but there are mixed experiences with welcome gifts. It's noted that such gifts are not always provided, and their absence was felt by a returning guest.
A cosy characterful cottage located in a quiet spot but close to the town centre amenities. With a delightful terraced garden providing a range of seating areas amongst the pretty planting and with views looking out across to the river.
Secret Garden Cottage nestles in the heart of Fowey, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Fore Street in the quiet pedestrian walkway of Bull Hill, a minute’s walk from shops, restaurants and pubs. This lovely cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and benefits from full central heating. The front door opens to a light and airy living space with original exposed stone fireplace housing a traditional Cornish range (not in use) with heavy oak mantle. A well equipped, farmhouse style kitchen has an oak dining table chairs and a French window opens onto a wooden balcony overlooking rooftops to the river, with bistro table and chairs. A spiral staircase leads down to the bedrooms and shower room. The staircase is narrow but there is a hatch to allow access for any large items of luggage. Both bedrooms, one with king size bed and one with double bed, are fully carpeted, with fitted wardrobes and oak furniture. Hidden behind a high stone wall across the lane is a private garden with pergola, flowers, vines, fruit trees and spring bulbs. Steps lead up to terraces with fine views of the estuary, where one can sunbathe, snooze in the shade, or dine al fresco.
