Overview
Property code: OC-P00873

No. 8 is a penthouse apartment on the third floor of St Catherine’s Court located on the stunning Esplanade just moments from Readymoney Cove and the South West Coast Path. Whilst there are several flights of stairs to climb, once inside this gorgeous apartment you’ll be wowed in more ways than one. With the most spectacular views from the balcony there’s so much to catch your eye. The river is a hive of activity during the year and with glorious open sea views one way and estuary views the other, enjoying a cool glass of fizz watching the sun go down will be a pleasure.

Styled in a boutique hotel fashion, soft velvet fabrics and a vivid palette of colours create focal points of interest and the panoramic vista is to die for! Two sophisticated bedrooms offer comfortable beds and soft linen. The en suite to the master bedroom has a spacious shower and contemporary bath. Perfectly fitted out for a romantic couple’s holiday, No. 8 would also suit two friends together catching up on life or a family with an older child as there is plenty of space for all.

Without doubt the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Beautifully appointed, very clean and comfortable and well equipped. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and much appreciated.

A lovely warm comfortable apartment with amazing views of Fowey harbour and out to sea. There are about 60 steps leading up to apartment but we did soon get used to the climb and the view more than compensated for it.

This apartment is in an ideal location for a short break; once the car is safely parked in the (rare for Fowey) reserved parking, you are free to enjoy Fowey and it's many shops and eateries, coastal walks and the ferry to Polruan. The apartment itself has magnificent views and is very well equipped. You just need to be prepared for the 51steps up Read moreand down! Hide

This is a beautiful property with everything you could need and more to feel at home. The view is perfect and worth the climb up stairs. A great location with the added bonus of parking outside and just lovely to stay in because everything is so well considered.
