The Old Library

The Old Library is a Grade I-listed, double-fronted townhouse for eight in central Fowey. Original sash windows, wooden floors and oak shutters run through the house, retaining clear evidence of its period interior.

Three king-size bedrooms and one twin share two bathrooms, with an en-suite off the main king room - a point worth weighing for a full party of eight. Behind the house, a large enclosed garden and paved terrace sit at first-floor level, giving a secure spot for the up to two dogs the house accepts. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and a washing machine are all provided.

The location is the other half of the appeal. St Fimbarrus Church stands directly adjacent, the passenger ferry to Polruan runs from the nearby quay, and the Bodinnick car ferry is within walking distance for onward trips up the coast. Readymoney Cove is 900 metres away, followed by Lantic Bay at 1.4 miles and Lansallos Beach at 2.5 miles. The Fowey guide covers the harbour and town.

Nineteen reviews give The Old Library a rating of 5 out of 5, and host Jeremy manages the booking.

**Best for:** families or groups wanting four bedrooms, Grade I-listed period features and central Fowey on foot.

**Less good for:** eight guests wanting more than two bathrooms, visitors needing step-free accommodation or anyone expecting a sea view.
