Property code: OC-V27461

This home is perfect for a family or a group of friends to enjoy a seaside break on the south coast of Cornwall, with lovely views down to the river from its elevated position in the town. The picture-perfect town of Fowey hosts a plethora of local boutiques, cafes, and restaurants that offer delectable cuisines, and a pretty harbour providing water views throughout the town. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has plenty of outdoor space to discover, including the local beach at Readymoney Cove (1 mile) which is an excellent spot for a picnic or a scenic walk. Other local beaches nearby include Polridmouth Cove (4 miles) – an attractive, sheltered cove to the east of Gribbin Head – or take the foot ferry from the harbour (0.6 miles) over to Polruan and walk the coast path to Lantic Bay to experience the most dramatic ocean views along the route.

Upon arrival, follow the path up to the house and enter the boot room with plenty of space to store your outdoor gear. A utility cupboard with a washing machine and laundry essentials is conveniently located off the boot room. Head into the open-plan lounge/diner. In the dining area you can enjoy meals around the table or spill out into the garden through the patio doors. Towards the front of the house is the spacious living area which boasts a large picture window that lets in plenty of natural light and offers a mesmerizing view of the river across the rooftops. A large Smart TV and a Wii with games provide all the home entertainment you need. The well-equipped kitchen is adjacent to the dining room and has everything required for cooking your own meals. If you need to catch up on work, there's a separate office space that's perfect for setting up your laptop in privacy. The ground floor includes a king-size bedroom tucked away at the back of the house with a view of the garden, and a convenient shower room next door, making it ideal for those seeking a more accessible bedroom. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, a king-size with a large window overlooking the town and the river, and a twin bedroom at the back with a garden view. Both bedrooms share a contemporary bathroom.

When you step outside, you'll find an extensive and fully enclosed garden with a paved terrace that's perfect for outdoor dining. The terrace comes equipped with dining furniture, making it an ideal spot for enjoying morning breakfasts or hosting evening barbecues. The garden itself is charming and well-maintained, offering a delightful space to relax and soak up the surrounding beauty.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Anchor Watch. Lovely spacious house. Beautiful garden - perfect for our dog. Lovely patio on which to have breakfast or a sundowner (weather permitting) with beautiful views of the river. Perfect location for visiting the local resorts - Looe, Mevagissy, Polperro etc. We didn't walk down into Fowey as our elderly dRead moreog wouldn't have managed it so can't comment on that but we did drive down and park in the central car park and had a lovely wander through the streets and a drink at the harbour side bars. Would definitely come to Fowey and Anchor Watch again. Hide

Beds very comfy and lovely clean fresh linen. Host kindly checked in with us to see if everything was ok and the welcome basic was a lovely touch with treats and a gift to take home. Highly recommend this property Hide

Anchor Watch is an exceptional holiday property. It really does tick all the boxes, being detached, large enclosed garden, comfortable furnishings, great view, good parking and an easy distance to walk to the town. The walk down and up is steep so may not be suitable for all but it was perfect for us. This is also the cleanest property we have everRead more stayed in, which is fantastic for a dog friendly place. If we returned to Fowey, we would stay here again. Hide

Beautiful property with stunning views of the harbour area in Fowey. A lovely, short picturesque walk down quaint lanes to get to Fowey Town centre. (Just be aware the property is on a hill so it's an easy walk down into town, but quite a steep walk back up to the property, although fine for able bodied people, and the views from the property are dRead moreefinitely worth it)! The garden is lovely, and secure so great for the dog to run round in. The downstairs bedroom and next door shower room are perfect for an extra guest, in our case we were a family of 4 upstairs and my dad joined us and had the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Overall, it was a stunning property and Fowey itself is a gorgeous, quiant, vibrant little town. Would definitely recommend Anchor Watch, you won't be disappointed with the property, or the location!! We spent the whole week smiling, and didn't want to come home!! Hide

The property was perfect for our family holiday. Lovely sea views from the lounge & one of the 3 bedrooms. Lovely enclosed garden and whilst we didnt bring our dog due to her not being good in the car on a long journey, it would have been lovely as there was plenty of space to play. Spotlessly clean & furnished to a good standard.

This home is clean comfortable and in the most amazing location with a beautiful view of the estuary it had everything and more that one could need for a self catering holiday. Its location is about a 10-15 min walk into town and about 20-25 min walk to the beach. Fowey is very up hill so may not be appropriate for everyone. This was my first time Read moreto Fowey and Anchor Watch and we absolutely fell in love we will definitely aim to go back ti anchor watch. Definitely the best UK holiday we have ever had I was sad to leave!!!!! Hide
