Guests say
Veryan Cottage in Fowey is highly praised for its stunning views, central location, and recent renovations. Guests appreciate the well-appointed interiors, comfortable beds, and thoughtful kitchen equipment. The terraces are a highlight, offering relaxation and scenic vistas. Access involves steep steps, which may not suit everyone, and space can be tight for larger groups. Despite minor issues with TV channels and bedding preferences, the cottage's charm and proximity to local amenities make it a beloved choice for visitors to Cornwall.
Guests consistently note the cottage as being immaculate and very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The central location is appreciated for its convenience to town, shops, and beaches, despite the challenging steep access.
The cottage is praised for comfortable beds and cosy living spaces, though some guests mention it may be cramped for four adults.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with high-quality fittings and well-equipped kitchens. However, the lack of terrestrial TV channels and preference for different bed linen slightly affect the score.
While the reviews reflect a well-equipped kitchen and other conveniences, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness, so this score cannot be provided.

Absolutely delightful cottage, in a perfect location. The owners have thought carefully about the comfort of their guests and everything is catered for, a truly 5 star experience. Tastefully furnished and decorated; the window box in the lounge has an award winning view & I spent many hours gazing over Fowey sipping my coffee. We will definitely return.

Veryan Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and cosy with an excellent finish in terms of decoration and living room furniture and has a well equipped kitchen area. The main bed was really comfortable and the shower rooms were great. We greatly appreciated having the outdoor shower for our small dog. The location of the cottage is good in that it's close to the harbour and main shopping street but (like most places in Fowey) vehicular access is difficult for un-loading upon arrival and then loading up on leaving day.
