Fowey Penthouse

Fowey Penthouse is a top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Fowey (pronounced "Foy"), sleeping 4 with 2 bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a large furnished balcony face the Fowey estuary - the views take in the water, the wooded hills opposite, and the working harbour traffic below. Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 10 reviews.

The apartment has WiFi, dishwasher, washing machine, off-street parking, and garden access. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms make it workable for two couples sharing. From £488 per night - at 4 guests that's £122 per person per night.

Readymoney Cove is 1.4km on foot through the town, a sheltered south-facing beach below Fowey's old town walls. Lantic Bay - a National Trust bay accessible only on foot from the coast path - is 2.4km. Fowey town has independent restaurants along the waterfront including Sam's, which has been trading on Fore Street since the 1990s. The Hall Walk circular route starts from the Bodinnick ferry, 1km away. Lansallos Beach - a secluded National Trust cove - is 4.1km by road.

Best for couples or two pairs wanting an upmarket river-view base in one of south Cornwall's most visited harbours. Less good for families with young children needing ground-floor access or a beach directly on the doorstep.
