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.

Cottage is equipped with everything needed. Quite area. The town centre of Fowey is in short walking distance with a lot of pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes.

You will not be disappointed with Anchor Watch. It is comfortable, well-equipped and ideally situated. It is in a very quiet residential road, but you are only a short walk from the centre of Fowey, yes it can be a steep climb back, but there are more gradual alternatives as well as the frequent Town Bus. All bedrooms are a good size and with a Read morebathroom and a shower room has all the right facilities. Highly recommended. Hide

A beautiful home with beautiful views. Very clean and well equipped. Our 12 year old lab was very happy in the secure back garden. The walk into Fowey was also close and our 12 year old lab managed it with no problems albeit a little slow. Would highly recommend Anchor Watch.

Had a great holiday at Anchor Watch. Lovely house with great views, garden and parking. 5-10 minutes to walk into Fowey (steepish hills but easily manageable unless you have specific health/mobility issues). Peaceful location and a really well equipped house.

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
