This was an extremely pleasant house to stay in with excellent balcony and light airy kitchen. The master bed was very comfortable but needs bedside lights! Many thanks

Near town but not really as described in the listing. Quite a small property with very low ceilings (not great for anyone over 6ft) and generally a little claustrophobic. Also decking a big disappointment - dirty with seagull droppings all over and a bird nest on the rooftop next door. All in all decking was basically unusable. Cannot fault the location and generally comfortable but some pretty big flaws.

Would highly recommend staying here. Perfect location for the centre of Fowey. Very clean and everything you would hope to have in a cottage. Enjoyable few days away.

Lots of pluses but the biggest disappointment is the parking is highlighted on the search but actually doesn’t have it all be it explained in description. No real pull in as suggested so you hold all traffic up while you un load and re load the car. Disposing of rubbish should not be a guest’s responsibility . Kitchen and outside space great but main bedroom needs to be updated in our view.

Lovely property in great location. Restaurants and trips on your doorstep. No parking at property.
We would definitely use this again. Nicely fitted out kitchen. No locks on bathroom or toilet doors. Great shower. Very steep internal stairs. Everything provided except towels. Parking at pay car park at top of hill. Beautiful village. Very nice overall.

Lovely but nice touches lacking
There are a huge number of pluses about this property. It’s well decorated, ( the kitchen is especially well equipped) and the shower works well. The beds and linen were of a good standard too. The location is ideal and views are spectacular. But there is a meanness of spirit here. My partner missed the fact that there are NO towels ( we had to go off and buy some) and I have never stayed anywhere before with so few nice touches. There wasn’t any milk, tea, coffee (they ask you to take coffee pods), no games or guide books or even so much as a pencil. The living room felt cold and uninviting - the floor is tiled and would benefit from a warm rug at the very least. Dogs are £50/ week but there’s no dog bowl or dog treats of any kind. What a difference it would have made to have a pint of milk, small loaf and butter or just a few biscuits. Oh yes, there’s no shampoo or soap apart from hand wash. I know much of this is actually in the small print but we were astonished by the lack of nice touches. It felt impersonal and I felt we’d paid a reasonable sum for it. But it is nice in so many ways- such a pity to spoil the ship for a ha’poth of tar.

Fab central spot
We stayed as a couple with a 3 yr old and had a fab stay. Everything was great, its really central for visiting the town and beach. It was really clean, full of everything we needed and just generally a lovely place to stay. Just a note, it states three bedrooms but you have to walk through the room with the day bed to access the twin room. It didn't bother us at all as we didnt need to sleep in it but worth noting. The property manager was really responsive and helpful even when contacting over the Christmas and New Year period. Would defo stay again
