This stylishly-finished apartment is ideal for couples or families of 3 wanting a great location with a range of shops, cafes and restaurants within an easy level stroll. The bright, open-plan living area, with its large picture window to take in the views, leads into a modern, luxurious kitchen.

On arrival you are welcomed with a homemade cream tea included in your welcome pack of wine, milk, tea and coffee.
The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour which has allowed the town to become a popular but exclusive tourist destination. There are superb river views including a beautiful countryside backdrop to the north which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Location
If you haven't yet discovered Fowey, you've got a treat in store. Full of multicoloured cottages, perched on the hillsides leading down to the sea, this little fishing town has lots to tempt visitors. There is an entrancing collection of unique local shops and boutiques, along with harbourside cafes, pubs which will give you a hearty welcome and a good atmosphere, and restaurants offering tempting local produce. If you want a unique insight into the local species in these waters, you could visit Fowey Aquarium, whose residents include specimens brought in by local fishermen.
If you're a fan of Daphne du Maurier, you may want to visit the Literary Centre, which gives information and exhibits about the author and her life and work. There is also the Fowey Festival of Words and Music, held in May, in which du Maurier, and many other authors, artists and musicians, are celebrated. Another great spectacle is the Fowey Royal Regatta, held in August.Fowey lies within one of the many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Cornwall, and the backdrop of the surrounding countryside, with its tidal creeks, rolling fields and rugged cliffs, will make you want to return here again and again.
