Perfect for the car ferry and good car park just yards away. The shops and restaurants are a bit of a walk along the very narrow street but then we were happy to do that as having been to Fowey before we knew the Geography. As warned ,the steps up to the cottage with suitcases and up to the lovely crows nest are very narrow and steepâ¦. Which we with one cronky knee in our 70 s just managed! A lovely house, highly recommend.

My only reason for not awarding absolute maximum top marks was that the wi-fi signal was very unreliable, although I accept this may be related to the area's network coverage rather than the property itself. Nonetheless I'd strongly recommend it and would most certainly return here anytime.
