Enjoy a relaxing break by the sea when you pick this contemporary cottage in Fowey. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey is a stunning harbour town with bobbing boats, narrow streets and independent shops, cafes and seafood restaurants. The local beach of Readymoney Cove is an excellent choice for families and can be found within 1 mile from the property. One of the best ways to see this famous coastline is via the South West Coast Path, which can be joined at Readymoney Cove and trails south towards Polridmouth and Peel Coves. The views are sure to make the trek worth it! For those seeking days out, Fowey Aquarium, the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are all within 14 miles.

Make your way up four steps and into the stylish kitchen/diner of this welcoming and cosy cottage. This cleverly reversed-level property maximizes the views across the town and towards the estuary by hosting a light and modern living room on the first floor. Up here, a corner sofa, armchair and Smart TV host the setting for a night of buttery popcorn and blockbuster movies. Back downstairs, start celebratory meals or whip up light bites in the contemporary kitchen/diner before gathering around the breakfast bar. At bedtime, the first and second floors host two wonderfully designed bedrooms, including a cosy double bedroom and a king-size bedroom with scenic views of the river and local church. The gorgeous bathroom sits on the first floor and boasts a rainfall shower and separate bath.

Enjoy your fancy coffee from the Nespresso coffee machine each morning on the enclosed terrace. This is the ideal spot for al fresco breakfasts or a picnic in the sunshine. Parking is a premium in the centre of Fowey but this property has the added advantage of private parking for one car directly outside the property, which is rare.

A very stylish, comfortable, well equipped property. The parking is a bit challenging when you have a long estate car but was manageable. Proximity to good restaurants a big plus, loved Narla!

This is a lovely cottage located right in the heart of Fowey. It is unique in having a parking space which is great but beware manoeuvring the car onto the drive is not easy! The cottage is very well equipped with a charming kitchen but like a lot of cottages it is quite dark with steep sets of stairs to each floor, and there is no view if that is Read moresomething guests are looking for.

River Watch is one of the best located, thoughtfully furnished and equipped holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. One could never tire of the river view, and a cosy place to stay if the weather is bad. So easy to walk to the shops and restaurants, but also easy to drive to other local areas. A gem of a place.

River Watch is a beautiful cottage with everything you could ask for! The small courtyard was lovely to sit out in (when we had the weather!) the location is perfect, Im not sure you could beat it. Parking is a major advantage and the location of the cottage means youre not having to drive through the narrow streets of Fowey. Many evenings we walkeRead mored into Fowey for dinner or just a drink - it was perfect. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you need.
