Set in the vibrant Cornish sailing community of Fowey, alongside several Victorian buildings, this apartment is like something out of a fairytale. Designed to an incredibly high standard by your host, Alison, the interior feels very in keeping with the seaside locale without ever coming across as a cliche. There's not a deckchair stripe in sight. Instead, you're treated to sculptural driftwood lamps, moody seascape paintings, and a sophisticated palette of deep blues and grey tones that reflect the British weather more accurately than the usual sunshine yellow. If you can bear to leave the home, there are plenty of shops, restaurants and places of interest in the immediate vicinity. Fowey is a beautiful harbourside town with public events occurring throughout the year. The local community is a healthy mix of all ages who are warm and friendly and adept at making newcomers feel welcome.

Just a stone's throw away from the shops, restaurants and waterfront of Fowley, this central apartment offers a convenient spot to a couple, solo traveller or pair of friends (plus one small pooch) looking to experience Cornwall. While the location is everything here, the apartment's modern home comforts make it all the more special. From the comfy interiors of the living to the luxurious bathtub and snuggly bed – the space makes chilling out between days on the beach easy as can be. If you arrive by car, do note that there is no private parking available on-site – the local public car parks of Fowey are just a five-minute stroll away. Or, take advantage of the train route to Par and then the 20-minute bus to Fowey, if you'd prefer to leave the car at home.

It doesn't get much better than a townhouse on the Cornish waterfront. No matter the weather, you'll have stunning panoramic views. Nestled in Fowey (a location officially part of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the town has everything from independent local shops to an aquarium and Literary Centre. The food scene in Cornwall is globally renowned for its fresh local produce, excellent seafood restaurants, and humble harbourside cafes. When you want to stay in for the evening, use the modern kitchen-diner space or take it outside to the barbecue on the terrace and savour the sea air and sunset. Whether you take hiking seriously or you plan on leisurely walks, Fowey has several National Trust trails and all the natural facets of the West Country landscape to explore.

The colourful town of Fowey is often named one of the most beautiful places in England, and this sleek penthouse is right in the thick of it. You’re no more than a ten-minute walk from seafood eateries, traditional pubs and the pretty harbour with bobbing fishing boats. Plus, the sandy Readymoney Cove is only a twenty-minute stroll away. Drop your bags, grab the cricket set and beach tent provided by your host, and while away the hours on the seashore. When you’re salty-haired and worn out, your bright home welcomes you with open arms. Sink into the sofa with a tipple from the gin cabinet or pop open a bottle of fizz on the private balcony. Dollop cream and jam on scones at the cosy breakfast bar, before admiring the walls adorned with prints by local artist Becky Bettesworth. And when it’s time to retreat to the land of nod, luxurious bedrooms await.

The view from this period apartment in Fowey has to be seen to be believed. Step out onto its little balcony, complete with wrought iron railings, and you can look left towards the harbour, straight across the estuary to Polruan and right out to sea. A superb coastal viewpoint, sitting out here over breakfast, coffee, dinner or a glass of wine, is going to be your new obsession. At the top of an imposing seafront building, it's a fully modernised home perfect for a couple, friends or a small family. 

We'll start in the open-layout living room, decorated in blues and whites – a reflection of the view outside. There's a comfy, L-shaped velvet sofa, a little dining nook by the patio doors and a superb, modern kitchen with a breakfast bar. Elsewhere, a beautifully styled main bedroom has a window seat overlooking the water and an en-suite shower room, while we particularly love the freestanding bath in the main bathroom.

Just a short walk or drive from the centre of town, you'll have a great choice of shops, restaurants and pubs on your doorstep, and the beach at Readymoney Cove is just a matter of minutes away too.

Situated right on the water in pretty Polruan, this cottage is quite a find. The terrace offers panoramic views of boats bobbing on the estuary, making it the perfect place for alfresco dinners and sunset drinks. Inside is utterly charming, with an eat-in kitchen, a cosy lounge with a fireplace, and a trio of comfortable bedrooms. Two can be arranged into twins if needed, and some boast their own waterfront panoramas. As for location, you'll have easy access to two beaches, coastal paths, and the ferry to Fowey. Just be sure to pack comfortable shoes – Polruan's steep hills and narrow streets make driving challenging, so travelling on foot is the best way to explore.

Cornish Reveries

Take a seat on the front terrace of this charming cottage and take in the glimpses of the estuary this chic town is famous for. There’s a patio off the garden room too, ideal for reading your holiday book and this place is perfect as an all-year-round getaway as there’s an open fire for those colder months. Just a couple of things to note with this home – firstly, the stairs to the second floor are a bit on the narrow side. Secondly, there’s no parking and the road outside is steep, however, one reserved parking space is provided, a ten-minute walk away. You’ll definitely need to bring your walking shoes.

Sea Salt & Sunlight

Within Waters Reach there is an exquisite villa that overlooks the River Fowey. Inspired by the home’s Victorian roots, the interior design uses classic brick-laid fireplaces, beautifully traditional sofas, and a delightful curation of artwork to create an elegant and graceful space. Even more, with windows that have river views, this home boasts tranquility. There is a modern, open-plan kitchen that is fully-equipped with everything you will need to cook up delicious homegrown meals. Two homely bedrooms have deluxe double beds, while a larger master bedroom has a super-king sized bed as well as an en-suite. The villa is located right by the river, meaning you will be able to enjoy all the nearby riverfront cafes and restaurants, or perhaps fill your days with some water-sport adventures! 

Waters Reach

Look no further for a quintessentially English getaway than this charming Victorian townhouse. Amidst the verdant coastline and pretty period architecture of the town of Fowey, this completely refurbished home boasts modern amenities combined with incredible sea views and a quaint village feel. Enjoy fresh local produce at boutique restaurants, stroll around arty independent shops or just relax with a drink by the harbour and watch the boats go by. This home is perfect for an intimate break with your loved one, or a bigger get-together; sleeping up to 6 people and having 2 handy parking spaces. Fowey is part of the nationally recognised Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; fully immerse yourself in the surrounding creeks, coves, rolling fields, and rugged cliffs. After a long country walk and a big meal, unwind and entertain in the elegant lounge, complete with panoramic views. Breathe in that fresh salty air and experience this enchanting piece of Cornwall.

Enjoy some of the best views in Fowey when you stay at this grand Victorian house. With its elevated position on the famous Esplanade, the fabulous panoramic vistas took our breath away. You can see the harbour, Polruan, Pont Pill, the ruins of St Catherine's Castle and right out to sea. You can also enjoy the seascape from the large bay window in the stylish living room. Or take in the reflections on the water from the window seat in the main bedroom. We love the beachy vibe in this home, with its various shades of blue, seaside paintings and beach hut cushions.

If you fancy a swim in the sea, head to Readymoney Cove, a five-minute stroll or two-minute drive away. Or take advantage of chic Fowey's array of boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There's a pub and shops around 400 metres from this home, too.

Temperature Control

This upper-floor apartment is a great getaway for a family with young children. The cabin bedroom may not be well-suited for adults, but doubling up as another TV room, it’ll most likely be the little ones' favourite area of the home. The pad also boasts a lovely terrace, which guests can make the most of on those sunny Cornish days. From here, you have panoramic views of the picturesque town of Fowey and the river, which are easily accessible thanks to the central location.

A Voyage to the Sea 

Desk / Workplace

This vibrant apartment is set inside an award-winning restoration – the old station master's house in Fowey. You'll find no tired seaside theming here, with bright and breezy decor that references the finest European destinations, from the tiles of Lisbon to the Spanish coastline's leafy greenery. The living area is on the first floor with a mezzanine study up in the vaulted roof, while the bedrooms are on the ground floor, each with patio doors out to a private terrace at the rear.

Around a seven-minute walk from the heart of Fowey's buzzing town, you'll find everything from local fish and chips to a number of high-end eateries, great pubs and excellent shopping. Boat trips and kayaks can be booked nearby, letting you explore the River Fowey from a different angle, and don't miss the tiny car ferry across to the other side of the river.
