About this property
Traditional 18th century 2 bed cottage. Dogs welcome.
1 Albert Place is over 200 years old. Originally a fisherman’s cottage, it is nestled a stone’s throw from the water’s edge, right in the heart of Fowey. Set off the main street down a private alleyway, it is easily accessible to all amenities and just 3 miles from the world famous Eden Project.
You also have 10% discount from Fowey River Hire.
Want to bring the dog? That's fine with us.
Planning a trip with the children? We can organise babysitters for you.
Lovingly restored by the current owners, it features an original slate and lime wall, lit with fairy lights, as well as slate tile flooring. Modern features include a whirlpool bath and underfloor heating.
The property is lit with vintage marine lights from our shop Any Old Lights, just next to the church.
You are 10 seconds from the Mace (Fowey’s mini-market) and minutes from all of Fowey’s shops, pubs and restaurants.
We do not have our own parking space but Albert Quay car park is next door.
The living area downstairs is an open plan kitchen and living room, with a corner sofa (also a sofa bed for which extra linen can be provided) and 4 seat dining table as well a We have BT superfast fibre broadband installed - the best you can get in Cornwall! There is also a landline phone for use of guests as well as a TV, DVD player - plus books and games for both children and adults.
The well equipped kitchen has an oven, hob, fridge freezer, washing machine and microwave as well as kettle, toaster and cafetiere.
Bedroom one has a double bed with Egyptian cotton bedding, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets and hanging space. The second bedroom has adult sized bunk beds, as well as children's books and toys. There is also a travel cot.
The alley outside is private and used only by one adjoining properties, but can also be use to store bikes or pushchairs.
We have several toys and board games and the property is great for families and friends as well as couples.
Being so central means it's an ideal base for young families offering a degree of independence for children. For couples you never have to walk very far to get home!

About the host
Hosted by Sinead Hanks
Unlike most second home owners in Fowey, we love it so much we live here too and have excellent local knowledge. Our useful links with local businesses mean that if we can't help, will know someone who can.
We (Nick and Sinead) moved to Fowey in 2011. Sinead had spent an idyllic childhood here - after-school evenings on the beach, sand in her hair and dodgy tales of Gossips ‘nightclub’. Nick (though it was hardly his fault) grew up in Hampshire.
Both moved to London to find their fortunes, Sinead as a press officer, working with charities and social entrepreneurs, Nick as a journalist (Daily Mail, Guardian, Times Magazine, Radio Times) and author (Dalek I Loved You). After meeting over a love of karaoke and pub quizzes, they waved goodbye to the city for Fowey with their baby daughter, Regan (named after John Thaw’s character in The Sweeney), so she too could have afternoons on a beach. Fortunately for them, Gossips had shut down.
Together they set up the popular Love Fowey website which promotes the town, and Nick also runs the Any Old Lights vintage marine lighting shop next to the church.
We are closely involved with local activities including the Community Bus, Squires Field Community Centre, Regatta Week and Fowey Christmas Market

Why they chose this property
After returning to Fowey in 2011, we stayed with Sinead's mum, also in Fowey, desperately looking for somewhere to live. No easy task, as we were looking for somewhere old yet full of character.
And as soon as we saw Albert Place, we knew we had found it. Neglected and in dire need of some love and care, yet we could immediately see how beautiful and cosy it could be. Many months and restoration from skilled local builders and specialists later, we moved in with our three year old daughter in 2012.
We include 'before and after' shots' in our Welcome Pack so you can see how far we have come!
By 2015, another wee one arrived and we had outgrown our little cottage - however we still live in Fowey and loved our time at 1 Albert Place, bang in the middle of town - the ‘Soho’ of Fowey!
