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.
