Sail Away Fowey

Set on the edge of town and just 100 metres from the riverside and the ferry crossing, this apartment is a great choice for couples seeking a coastal getaway at any time of the year. Fowey is home to a lovely harbour, an excellent choice of independent restaurants, pubs and shops, a sandy beach at Readymoney Cove and fabulous, scenic, coastal walks. Head across the River Fowey on the ferry and pick up the circular Hall Walk, returning on the foot ferry from Polruan, then treat yourself to a tasty pasty from one of the local bakeries. For messing about on the river, hire a kayak or paddleboard and explore the harbour, looking out for wildlife on the way.

This ground-floor apartment is found in an imposing building opposite the Caffa Mill car park, with access up a gently sloping ramp to the main entrance. Feel instantly at home when entering this contemporary and stylishly furnished well-kept secret, finished in a mix of calming coastal hues. With a large sofa and snuggle chair to cosy up on and a pretty outlook of the colourful garden from the lounge, it’s the perfect retreat. The modern, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a well-equipped kitchen with built-in appliances and dining space for two. The hall leads to the light and inviting bedroom with a king size bed and a spacious bathroom with a shower over the bath. In the hallway there is a chest of drawers ensuring sufficient storage to fully unpack and make the most of your stay and a handy utility cupboard housing the washing machine.

Outside, there is an enclosed, paved terrace with rattan seating – perfect for breakfast in the sun or evening drinks. This tucked-away space is designed with a mix of different planting and interesting features, creating a Mediterranean feel. There is just a low step over the threshold into the lounge for access.
