Making a fantastic holiday retreat for larger families and groups of friends, this light-filled getaway provides fresh and airy accommodation for up to eight guests discovering a tranquil part of South Cornwall. The property lies close to the heart of Fowey, a characterful coastal town known for its ancient harbour and long history. Lying along the banks of the stunning Fowey Estuary, this airy and relaxing villa is perfect for guests enjoying peaceful rural and coastal walks, river cruises or a range of water sports. Fowey is also home to an aquarium and a variety of independent shops, pubs, cafes and galleries, with a charming beach just over a mile away at Readymoney Cove. Crossing the river, you can explore the idyllic Polperro Heritage Coast (7 miles).

The central dining area is perfect for family get-togethers, and a step leads up to the sleek, beautifully arranged and fully equipped kitchen.

The Lookout is a large family oriented holiday home. It has great views of the river Fowey. As anyone knows parking is always at a premium and the car park is only a short distance away. Beds are comfortable which is a big plus. Our only concern was the garden area which is in disrepair and hindered our enjoyment. But having said this we had a grRead moreeat week. Hide

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at The Lookout. The location is excellent, just a two minute walk from Fore Street and equally close to the car park, which also has EV chargers. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the sash window and watching the boats go by. It was the perfect way to unwind. The bedrooms were comfortable, spotless and welRead morel equipped with everything needed for a week away. It is clear the owners have put great care and attention into creating a welcoming and peaceful place to stay. We would happily recommend the cottage and would not hesitate to return. Thank you for a lovely stay. Hide
