Tucked away in the pretty port town of Fowey, this cottage is all about elegance, simplicity and quality. Expect crisp white sheets in the bedrooms, a clutter-free living space with a wood-burning stove and an up-to-date Shaker-style kitchen. We particularly loved the strategically placed skylights, allowing natural light to flood through the home. Spend mornings curled up on the sofa with a good book and a cup of Earl Grey before heading onto the terrace for breakfast in the sunshine. If you’d like to stretch your legs, take a stroll into the heart of your locale and check out the fantastic selection of cafes, ice cream shops, restaurants and pubs. Set out on the Hall Walk trail or take it easy and relax on Readymoney Cove Beach, less than a fifteen-minute saunter from your doorstep. When it’s time to call it a day, return to your abode for a glass of your favourite tipple and a well-deserved pamper session in the slipper bath tub.

About Fowey
Local legend tells that Jesus visited Fowey in his childhood, and you can follow in his footsteps by visiting the commemorative Punches Cross.
