Overview
Property code: OC-O31260

Situated within an award-winning luxury development on the site of Fowey’s former station master’s house, this chic second-floor apartment overlooks Caffa Mill, the Bodinnick Ferry and the river. Stroll along cobbled streets lined with independent boutiques, galleries and restaurants, or take a scenic 1-mile walk to Readymoney Cove, a sheltered sandy beach. Above the cove, St Catherine’s Castle is a 15th-century fort offering breathtaking coastal views. The Bodinnick car ferry enables easy travel to other must-see destinations – including Looe, less than 12 miles away – while downriver you can catch the Polruan Ferry to the ancient fishing village renowned for its boat-building heritage. Follow the South West Coast Path a mile east from here and you’ll reach Lantic Bay, a great spot for paddles and picnics. Alternatively, venture west to the world-famous Eden Project, 8.5 miles away, or visit Charlestown’s historic harbour (7 miles).

Enter the apartment building at ground level, then take the stairs to the front door of this elegant second-floor retreat. A welcoming hallway leads on to a beautifully designed open-plan living space that’s full of natural light. To one end, the contemporary kitchen boasts quartz worktops and high-end appliances, including a wine cooler and Nespresso coffee machine for thirst-quenching drinks in an instant. Bar-style seating means it’s easy to chat while cooking, and the living area is super-sociable, with a sofa and two armchairs positioned to take full advantage of the picturesque river views beyond. A Smart TV ensures home-from-home entertainment, while glass doors open onto the balcony. For added practicality, a utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer. When it’s time to sleep, the main bedroom boasts a king-size bed, Smart TV, private access to the balcony and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is designed for flexibility, offering twin beds that can be configured as a super-king upon request, making the apartment ideal for any party. This room also has a Smart TV. A well-appointed main bathroom completes the comfort for all.

Comfortable outdoor seating on the private balcony allows you to unwind while soaking up the breathtaking views over the river. Whether sipping a morning coffee or enjoying an evening drink as the sun sets over the estuary, this space offers a peaceful retreat from the lively town beyond. Guests can also enjoy access to beautifully landscaped gardens, shared with other residents of the development. Private off road parking for 1 car

High quality furnishings and equipment. Very modern and clean. Owner has provided everything one needs including instruction manuals neatly in folders. Refreshing to find an owner who really pays attention to detail. Quiet location which is good for sleeping and conveniently close to the town centre. We would definitely recommend it

Excellent apartment in an excellent location with the added bonus of a parking space. The property is finished to a high standard and has everything you need for a great holiday.

Fabulous accommodation, very well situated just next to the Bodinnick Ferry with on-site parking, which is a rarity in Fowey. Very clean, warm and cosy. Extremely well equipped with crockery, cutlery and pans, although we eat out most nights. Our favourite restaurants were Sunny Spice & Sam's.

For us, there is nothing really to improve upon. We stayed at 5 different locations on a South-West driving trip and this accommodation was by far the best. The flat is spacious, very well equipped with everything you might want to use or cook with. Everything worked (perhaps an expectation for normal holiday rentals but not so common). The unRead moreit was full of light and very well naturally ventilated. We worried it might be too hot in the current heatwave but all the opening windows and balcony allowed it to cool easily. Parking also very useful in this town. Having a meal in the unit seeing the small ferry pottering across the Fowey River was a serene outlook. There is a carpark in front, but we still found the outlook fabulous. An excellent rental - the best unit we have stayed at in quite a while, well-cleaned and clearly well looked after by a thougtfull owner. Very highly reoommended as a base in Fowey from which to explore Cornwall. Hide

Beautiful apartment in an ideal location and really handy to have the parking space. The apartment itself is clean, new, beautifully decorated and well equipped.

We also enjoRead moreyed time just sat on the balcony watching the world go by. Great location for catching the ferry and for walking into the town to the shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Just be aware that there are a few short sets of stairs to the apartment and it is a little bit of a walk from the car, so may be a bit more tricky for those that are less mobile or who may struggle lifting luggage up stairs. This did not cause us a problem at all and we had a lovely time. Fowey itself is lovely with a good choice of places to eat out, good walks, beautiful bays close by, good also for paddle boarding (you can launch from next to where the ferry is not far from the apartment -although no where to store these in the apartment so had to deflate after each use - note you should pay 20 for an annual license to register your SUP with the Fowey Harbour Commissioner - this can be done online). We would definitely recommend the location and the apartment. Hide
