The Ferry runs a daily service, finishing at 11pm during the summer and 7pm during the winter. Fowey is full of shops, eateries, pubs, beach and a harbour. It is well worth a visit and day well spent exploring all it has to offer.

Lovely view, comfortable beds, charming patio, well equipped kitchen. Fascinating area to explore and wonderful walks on the doorstep.

Very steep walks to house from amenities. Bedroom window wouldn’t open! Had problem with shower as wouldn’t work when I first got there. managed to get mgr to get Electrition to fix it. Got extra night for shower problem. Over all I really enjoyed being there with my dog and would stay there again. Great for a dog as lots of walking close by. ##### Julie O. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Toni G. 5 Apr 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short Break This property is set on a steep incline with steps up to the property and no parking near the property. You can park in a public pay and display car park which is a 10 minute walk away. The property is on a split level with the kitchen and bathroom downstairs and the bedrooms and lounge upstairs. The heating was not great with no heating in the second bedroom. It’s quite peaceful and the walks are nice but you need good mobility and a car to see the surrounding area. ##### Toni G.
