Place View

Place View is a three-bedroom cottage in Bodinnick, a small hamlet on the east bank of the Fowey estuary, sleeping 6 with one bathroom. The terrace faces west across the water to the medieval town of Fowey - a view that catches the evening light directly. Listed with both Cornwall Hideaways and Rural Retreats, prices start from GBP836 per week.

The cottage has an open fire in the sitting room, an enclosed garden, and a dishwasher. No Wi-Fi, no washing machine, and no on-site parking - the nearest parking is a short walk away at the Bodinnick car park. No pets. The layout across three bedrooms suits a family group or three couples prepared to share one bathroom.

Readymoney Cove is 900m on foot - a sheltered sandy cove below the Fowey castle ruins, reached by a footpath through the town. Lantic Bay is 2.2km further along the coast path, a National Trust bay with no road access and a steep descent to the beach. The Bodinnick car ferry crosses to Fowey town in a few minutes, giving access to the town's restaurants and the Hall Walk coast path circuit.

Best for a group that wants a riverside position in the Fowey area and doesn't need Wi-Fi or in-house parking. Less suited to families with young children who need easy car access or washing facilities on site.
