  • With a spacious lounge offering stunning views across the harbour and out to sea
  • Set in a beautiful spot in the idyllic Cornish port town of Fowey

Overview
Property code: OC-CMOONR

With stunning sea and harbour views this top floor apartment is a popular holiday choice. Situated high up in an impressive Edwardian house, Moonrakers is a generous self-contained property just yards from the harbour's edge.  The sandy beach at Readymoney Cove is a few minutes' walk away and it is a 10 minute stroll into the centre of Fowey to visit the many small, independent shops, cafes, inns and restaurants. It's all about the water in Fowey and visitors can take advantage of the many maritime activities on offer such as kayaking, fishing, boat trips and river cruising. There are also numerous scenic walking and cycling routes in the area. The world famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are both less than 30 minutes' drive away.

The real draw for Moonrakers is the spacious sitting room and picture window which looks over the harbour to Polruan and out across the sea. There is one bedroom, a good-sized kitchen and dining table (with an angular view of the harbour) and a bathroom. Guests are welcome to use the sheltered lawn at the rear of the property.

The accommodation is perfectly located being around a 10 minute stroll from the town and also easy to get onto the coastal path; it had the advantage of great views, a decent sized parking space and was quiet. The property was spotlessly clean when we arrived and it was nice that some washing up liquid/cloths had been provided given there is no diRead moreshwasher. As other reviewers have said, the property could do with a bit of updating (namely the kitchen and bathroom). However, it was more than functional for our stay and the kitchen had sufficient crockery, cutlery and everything needed if you felt inclined to cook for yourself. The shower in the bathroom was excellent - instant hot water and powerful. There were a few minor negatives from our perspective: 1) No bathroom towels provided which is an inconvenience when travelling in a two seater car with limited boot space. 2) The arrival time of 4pm and departure time of 9am seem very mean-spirited! I know the cleaner needs time to do the amazing job she does but these timings are a throwback to Covid days and most have now reverted to a 3pm arrival/10am departure time. 3) Very, very small sofa in the living area - it was just about big enough for one person to sit on comfortably and watch TV but two was a bit squashed (and we are by no means large people, we just like to put our feet up and get comfy). A larger sofa or two smaller sofas would have been much more comfy for watching TV. 4) Bring a small torch - as is noted in the description there are quite a lot of steps to get to the property and once you are at the back of the main house area it is VERY dark with no lighting. The steps are dark wood so difficult to see at night. Although there is a light over the main entrance door and at the top of the wooden steps they are on timers and have gone off by the time you get back after eating out. Overall we had a great stay and the property was ideal for a week away - a few minor improvements would make it perfect. Hide
