There are two bedrooms, one with twin beds, a period feature fireplace and subtle links to Kenneth Grahame, creator of ‘Wind in the Willows’ who found Fowey such an inspiration for his bedtime stories. Bedroom one has a sumptuous double bed and its own en-suite, and there is a further family shower room, too, adding to the bright, airy and relaxing feel of your apartment.
The thriving port town of Fowey has an abundance of charm, with narrow streets, pubs, restaurants and boutique shops to explore and being within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you will be struck by your stunning, picturesque surroundings. The harbour is a hive of activity with boats of all shapes and sizes which leads inland along the Fowey Estuary, a tree-lined valley with relaxing woodland walks and a hundred shades of green. Catch the ferry over to Bodinnick or explore the ancient harbours of Looe and Polperro, which are steeped in legends of smuggling and wrecking; they have quaint fishermens’ cottages and coastal views. A short distance to the west lies Charlestown, an iconic harbour where time stands still. The home of a magnificent fleet of tall ships, it has been the location for many films and TV series due to its natural authenticity. The Shipwreck Museum and various eateries make this a wonderful place to visit.
