Our stay at Salt loft was fantastic. Fowey was excellent and our location was perfect bang in the middle of town. Driving through was interesting on the narrow streets but the loading bay opposite the entrance was a bonus. Great size flat for the 2 of us and all equipment and ammenities were in great condition. Bed and sofa very comfortable and we really liked the decor. We stayed for 6 nights and had a great time.

Beautiful and spacious apartment in the picture perfect town of Fowey. Right at the Main Street. We had a lovely stay. There was a bit of noise though. But nothing earplugs won’t fix.

We were given the wrong key code and limited directions to the property but the owner was easily reached and very helpful and after that we had a wonderful stay in the Salt Loft. The position is great for a short break with lovely food available on your doorstop (we would recommend Appletons and Sams), and a ferry to Polruan where there is a nice walk. The bed is comfy with good quality linen and the whole flat is beautifully decorated. We would definitely recommend.

The Salt Loft is conveniently located within minutes of restaurants, pubs, shopping, and the town quay. It was comfortable, clean, and had everything I needed for my weeklong stay. Simon is a terrific host! He responded quickly whenever I needed to be in touch. Because of the rail strike, I was delayed in arriving in Fowey and Simon was very accommodating in the change in plans. I would gladly stay at this property again.

Salt Loft

I had a lovely week in Fowey, the Salt Loft is the perfect location to stay tucked away off the main street but central to everything, for visits to The Dwelling House for afternoon teas and delicious cakes and the Lifebouy for fish butties. It is a real home from home cosy, comfortable and warm for the days that were a bit chilly, boardgames dvd's and books you name it...it's there. Thank you Jules.

Lovely flat

We had a fantastic time in the flat. TV had every app you could think of and sofa was incredibly comfortable. Made staying inside enjoyable! Only downside was the noise of the seagulls which were perched outside the bedroom window, meaning the windows in the bedroom had to be closed and as it’s a loft, made the space quite warm. Otherwise, wonderful stay!

Es fehlt an Platz und SonnenschutzDie Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe zum maritimen Detail eingerichtet. Zur Begrüßung stand eine Flasche Prosecco auf dem Tisch und es waren Teebeutel, Kekse und Milch da. der Keycode funktionierte reibungslos. Es sind nicht, wie in der Beschreibung steht, 2 Stufen sondern 2 ETAGEN zur Wohnung.Wir hatten vorab um eine zweite Bettdecke gebeten, die war nicht da als wir kamen. Es gibt die Wasch- und Trockenmaschine, ein Wäscheständer ist nicht da. Das Schlafzimmer ist sehr beengt, es gibt keinen Schrank zum Aufhängen von Kleidung,es sind 6 Kleiderbügel an einer Garderobe da. Viel zu wenig. Die Kommode musste reichen. Die Platte des Esstisches wackelte dermaßen, dass wir Gläser und Tassen nur halb befüllt haben, damit nichts überschwappt. Im Schrank standen 5 kleine Teller die entweder schmutzig oder nass waren,der Wasserkocher war innen und am Deckel voller Brotkrümel, das Besteck fleckig u. schlierig. Was absolut fehlt ist Hitze-u.Sonnenschutz. Die Rollos an den Dachfenstern im Schlafzi. verdunkeln, halten aber nicht die Sonne ab. Schlaftemperatur:30. unzumutbar.Der Ventilator im Schlafzi. bringt nichts. Auch im Wozi kein Hitzeschutz. Am Wozi Tisch war an einem Teil der Metallrand ab und stand hervor,ebenso eine Schraube. Der Kühlschrank ist sehr klein, 2L Flaschen muss man quer legen, da ist eines der zwei Fächer gleich voll. Insgesamt hatten wir den Eindruck, dass der Wohnung zwei aufmerksame Augen fehlen. Es fehlt Platz zum Einräumen.

Quirky apartment in Fowey

We have loved our 3 night stay in Simon’s flat. Comfy (very warm being in the roof!) and characterful with everything we needed. Treated ourselves to a meal at Appleton’s over the road but cooked in the other two nights (buying local goodies from the town) No view, but watched the rooftops for the baby seagulls being fed in their nest and taking their first steps. Good mooch around Fowey, hired a boat for an hour, and took the ferry over the other side of the harbour and back after a great walk with views. Day trips to the enormous Lost Hardens of Heligan and the interesting Charlestown. So pleased we came - but don’t think we will miss the early morning wake-up calls from the seagulls!!!

Lovely stay at The Salt Loft

Spent three nights at the beautiful Salt Loft in Fowey. Everything about our stay here was fabulous and would highly recommend it. The accommodation itself is beautifully decorated with high quality fittings and furnishings. Everything has been well thought out to make your stay here extremely comfortable. Easy to load and unload your cases etc outside which was a pleasant surprise having seen what the traffic can be like in Fowey!! Have a look on Google maps before you go, makes it nice and easy to find when you arrive. Communication was excellent and we would definitely look at staying here again if we ever go back to Fowey. Welcome pack was a lovely touch, thank you

Home from Home

Great little place to stay right in the heart of Fowey. High quality fittings and furnishings throughout the property with all mod cons. Very nice touches with welcome gifts, Cornish fudge, a bottle of Prosecco with coffee and milk stocked in the fridge. Really nice place to stay. Downside would be the lack or proximity of parking and those pesky church bells chiming throughout the night. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay in the future.
