4 Quayside

This 4-bedroom duplex apartment on Market Street in Fowey sits above the shops leading down to the quay, metres from Fore Street and the water’s edge. It sleeps 8 across three floors, with the aquarium directly opposite the front door and The King of Prussia pub two doors along.

The ground-floor entrance leads up to an open-plan living area with kitchen on the first floor. Two double bedrooms - one with an en-suite shower room - and a family bathroom occupy the second floor. The top floor has a third double bedroom and a single room with bunk beds, suited to families with younger children. Gas central heating, a dishwasher, washing machine, and free Wi-Fi are included. The property accepts 1 dog. Note: there are 2 steps to the front door and 3 flights of internal stairs.

Readymoney Cove is 1km away along the Esplanade, beneath St Catherine’s Castle - a Henry VIII fort from the 1540s. Lantic Bay lies 2.1km to the east via the coast path. The Fowey-to-Polruan passenger ferry departs from the waterfront, less than a minute’s walk from the apartment.

Fowey is a working harbour town on the south coast, home to the annual Du Maurier Literary Festival and a concentration of independent restaurants. Sam’s on Fore Street, Pintxo, and The Old Quay House are all under 5 minutes on foot. The Hall Walk circular - 4 miles using both ferries - starts from the quay.
