The Hideaway At Blue Mill

The Hideaway at Blue Mill is a third-floor apartment in Fowey sleeping four, set in a riverfront block with a balcony that looks directly over the Fowey estuary. The floor-to-ceiling dual-aspect windows and open-plan layout make this one of the lighter, airier apartments in town - a practical advantage in a harbour town where older properties can feel dark.

Two bedrooms share one bathroom: a standard double and a small 4-foot double, so four adults would be a squeeze - this suits couples wanting a second room or families with one child more than two couples. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area has a dishwasher and washing machine, both useful for longer stays. A lift serves the building, and a public car park sits directly across the road - parking is included. Dogs are welcome, and a shared garden is available. An Italian deli operates in the same block.

Readymoney Cove - Fowey's sheltered sandy cove - is 0.9 miles on foot through the town. Lantic Bay is 1.5 miles, accessible via the South West Coast Path, and Lansallos Beach is 2.5 miles further along. Fowey town centre has independent cafes, galleries and the ferry to Bodinnick just below the apartment block.

Best for couples or a couple with one child who want a central Fowey base with parking and estuary views. Less good for two couples sharing - one bedroom is small and there is only one bathroom.
