About this property

Place View, Fowey, Cornwall

  • Fowey is one of the jewels of the south Cornish coast. Many of the most popular attractions of Cornwall are within easy reach, such as the Eden Project or the harbour of Charlestown, yet Fowey is a magical destination in itself, with its labyrinth of narrow, winding streets packed with independent shops and stunning views from every hilltop. Sail boats bobbing in the estuary, and unique events throughout the year like the summer regatta and the Christmas Fair make Fowey a dream place to get away from it all. Place View gives you excellent views of this medieval town and the estuary below from the front terrace, where there’s seating for six.

    The cottage may be traditional, but the interior is comfortably contemporary, with Smart TVs, a very well-equipped kitchen and a roll top bath in the bathroom. The bright and soft decorations create a feeling of space in the summer but are equally relaxing in the winter, with an open fire adding to the warmth and comfort.

    Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee in the Garden Room or having a last glass of wine on the terrace looking out on the estuary below, you’ll find yourself soon relaxing into the Cornish pace of life at Place View.

amazing

Absolutely fab . Although the car park was some distance we managed to get the bus up but had a long walk back , we had to avoid the steps which are steep. As I am 80 and my wife is 73 we found the going a bit of a challenge . Perhaps we would have been better with parking by the property and on river side and perhaps you could have metioned it at the outset

Beautiful Fowey house

The property itself is fantastic furnished & appointed to a high standard. The only problem I had was the parking which is situated nearly 500 yrds away up a steep hill it could prove challenging for someone who lacks in fitness.

Place View is a prettily decorated, very cosy house in the heart of Fowey, with easy to access shops, restaurants and the harbour and very near the church so be ready for bells to ring all thru the night! The beds are comfy with nice linens and the big bath off the master bedroom is great to soak in after a day of walking. View from the tub is stunning! The house is so well equipped and a lovely welcome basket was gifted to us with cheese and wine. We loved it.

Beautiful but very steep

The house is lovely. I stayed with my elderly parents who walk with sticks and I didn’t appreciate how steep the hill to the property was. I have since read the reviews which point out that it’s steep and the car park is a half a km away - for us this was an 8 to 10 minutes walk. We had to collect the car and pick my parents up. It’s very difficult to park outside the house to offload too,the steep hill and single narrow road makes this challenging. If accessibility is no issue then it’s a great place to stay! Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and homely decor! I’d come back but not with people with mobility issues.. fowey is gorgeous and lots of lovely restaurants too.

Beautiful house and superb location close to centre of Fowey.

Easy check in process and great views from property. The hills in Fowey can be a little challenging for those who are not that fit or able.
