Holiday Cottages In Fowey To Rent

"As the cottage is located in a small cul-de-sac, it feels private and quiet and there is parking for two cars. The cottage is only a couple of years old, so is very modern, with the rooms being of a good size and very light. The kitchen has everything you could need including separate fridge and freezer and dishwasher. The bathroom has a good double shower (over bath) and the enclosed garden has a gas barbecue and garden furniture on the decking for warmer days. We found milk, biscuits, tea bags, coffee and sugar waiting for us, which was really helpful. There is a village pub, only a couple of minutes walk away, along with a small shop (open every day), butchers and chip shop (Tuesday to Sunday Evenings) and where is a good feel to the village and the people seem friendly. We took our collie, but we could only find one grass area, to walk him in the village, as there is a small children's playing area in a side street only about a five minute walk from the cottage (this was useful early morning and late evenings). But we were able to take our dog on Par Beach (you need to pay for parking) and there is a wetlands park (with duck pond and grass area), within 10 minutes drive.The location of S40061 is really good if you wish to visit Fowey, Mevagissey, Charlestown Bodmin or the eden project as they are all within 40 minutes drive away. There are large supermarkets in Bodmin and St Austell, if you need them. We only had one issue, during our stay - as we found that the wifi never had enough signal and the TV would go funny at times, so we missed parts of TV programmes. But on the plus side, we had no problems using our mobile phones, while we were in the cottage and this is normally an issue in Cornwall."

"Fantastic family holiday- lovely and clean and comfortable accommodation. Layout of house excellent to meet needs of space. Lovely hot showers/bath and kitchen well equipped for family gathering and haute cuisine! Delightful location in Fowey. Few comments- the accommodation is approx 100m from the car park- but this is a very long way from the car park in real terms and the suggestion that we can park on the one way street to off load is completely unpractical. Fortunately, the lovely house keeper very kindly offered and helped us carry our luggage (as my Mum is very elderly) inbound. We also paid £54/week for a the roaming car permit for Cornwall CC- on reflection as we had two cars= £108- we would book in future accommodation WITH car parking attached and with full river views on the Esplanade or near ReadyMoney cove- as in reality we would have been better paying an extra £100-£150 on the accommodation booking for free parking versus paying for a municipal car park! As in effect, we gained nothing but hassle in carrying luggage back and to.... and could have used this money towards a higher spec accommodation with parking and views included. A bathroom chair or dresser in the main bathroom would be useful."

"The shower rooms looked alike, however my brother's shower was marked not a wet room. He used it as a shower, but water cascaded through the ceiling and light fittings. We were told everything was fine when we rang the owner, but it wasn't 'fine' it needs a lip to prevent water rolling towards the sink as the fall is wrong allowing water to run out of the shower area. There was a tiny amount of toilet roll with no replacements, no soap and shower packs I.e. Shower, hair wash and body creams as it wasn't camping but felt like Glamping. We were told there was a kitchen pack, but had enough dishwasher product for 1 wash. The tea, sugar, coffee was used by others and probably left in the property as they were damp. The only pack we got was a pack of biscuits and wine! Our fault but we had to pay £10:00 a day to get to the other side of Fowey river, almost everything we visited required a ferry crossing. Looking at a cement factory wasn't too clever either, lights on all night whilst the China clay factory loaded a tanker overnight, with bright lights on all night. The utility was a work in progress, and as we paid a substantial amount, I think everything should have been pristine."
