Fowey is a delightful old seaside town with many attractions. Fowey Museum, an Aquarium, as well as local shops there are Galleries showing the work of local artists and craftspeople, a wonderful Book Shop, gift shops, riverside cafes and bistros, all within walking distance of The Square Rig apartments. Home to a Royal Yacht Club, Fowey holds a Royal Regatta every August, a week-long festival which takes place both on and off the water.
Every May there is also a Cultural Festival. Authors Daphne du Maurier and Arthur Quiller-Couch lived in Fowey and the town also has links with Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows, which is loosely based on the River Fowey and uses local landmarks in the story. On the river and the estuary there is a wide variety of birds, as well as seals and even dolphins which sometimes venture close to the shore. Sightseeing boat trips offer the opportunity not only to spot the wildlife but also to see this dramatic coastline from a different perspective. If you fancy exploring further afield there is the Fowey to Mevagissey boat that runs throughout the season (weather permitting), or you can take one of the Square Rig’s kayaks or the rowing boat (strictly at guest’s own risk, a limited range of buoyancy aids, guests are advised to bring their own or hire locally) up the river and see the small waterside villages with their quaint churches and lively pubs.
If you want to walk, ferries cross the estuary at both ends of the town, going to Bodinnick and Polruan. Once on the other side, there is the famous Hall Walk that follows the estuary, taking you through a wooded valley, past hidden creeks and offering amazing views from the cliffs.
Other activities such as cycling, golf, horse riding and walking can all be enjoyed locally. Visits can be made to historic country houses and castles such as Lanhydrock House and Restormel Castle, as well as the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and other National Trust and private gardens found in Cornwall.

Well-appointed and well equipped apartment . The views from the balcony are superb and only a couple of minutes walk in to town. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay at Middle Deck. So handy that it is step free, all on one floor and at street level. We have stayed here before though several years ago now, and the property is much improved with a new kitchen and a refresh in general, though still retaining it's homely welcoming feel.The views of the river are just outstanding and it is somewhere you can come to and completely relax. We love Fowey and visit regularly and would certainly book Middle Deck again.
