Guests say
St Monicas in Fowey is a beautifully presented cottage in an excellent location, close to the town centre and ferry, with attractive river views. Guests praise its cleanliness, spacious living area, and well-equipped kitchen, making it ideal for families and pet owners. While the bedrooms and outdoor space are smaller, and there was a mention of dampness downstairs, the overall experience is very positive, with many guests keen to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as very clean and well maintained, with only one mention of a damp smell in the downstairs bedrooms.
The location is consistently praised for its convenience to the town centre, ferry, and car parks, as well as for its attractive river views.
Guests find the property comfortable, especially the beds and spacious living area, though some note the bedrooms are on the smaller side and mention dampness downstairs.
The cottage is described as fully equipped with everything needed for a great holiday, and the open-plan living space is appreciated. The only minor drawback is the limited outdoor space.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

This interesting and attractive red brick building was originally built as a place of worship for Fowey’s Roman Catholic community and has since been converted into residential accommodation. St Monica’s is ready and waiting to share its heritage with you.
With ’reversed’ accommodation, the property incorporates a superb first floor open plan living area with a high, sloping ceiling.
The Caffa Mill car and dinghy park; the Bodinnick Ferry landing slip and an access point to the river for boat launching (by direct arrangement with the Harbour Office) are all in easy reach from here and the property is situated only a 10 minute stroll into the centre of town, but has the added advantage of being accessible from the ‘back road’, thereby avoiding the town centre traffic.
Maybe St Monica’s is no longer a place of worship, but the views from the huge floor to ceiling arched window on the first floor are definitely miraculous. Watch the river life at work as well as the ferry making its daily journeys across the river to Bodinnick.
All you need to do now is pray for some sunny weather for your family holiday in Fowey.

St. Monicas is in a great location in Fowey. The Boddnick ferry is directly opposite. Very convenient for the carparks.The accommodation is very spacious upstairs in the open plan living room and kitchen. The bedrooms are quite small as is the outside space.

Beautiful property in fantastic position. The chapel is lovely, had everything you need to enjoy a great holiday. We had one issue and that was downstairs in the bedrooms it smelt and the bedrooms were damp. Apart from this everything was very good.
