Watch House in Fowey is praised for its superb riverside location, excellent views, and the rare benefit of on-site parking.

Overall, it offers great value for money and a memorable Cornish experience.
Several guests mentioned issues such as cobwebs, dust, and some areas needing a deeper clean, including kitchen and bathroom surfaces. However, other reviews did not mention cleanliness as a problem, suggesting standards may vary.
The location is consistently highlighted as excellent, with beautiful river views, proximity to Fowey’s amenities, and the added bonus of private parking.
Most guests found the property comfortable and relaxing, though a few mentioned old or uncomfortable beds and minor issues with the shower size.
The property is generally well-equipped and spacious, with recent upgrades noted. Some maintenance issues were raised, such as blown lightbulbs, balcony doors not opening, and security concerns with locks.

This is a lovely holiday home, however there are some things that require consideration. 1. There was dog hair on the stairs, breadcrumbs on and in the toaster which required cleaning. 2. We required full accessibility and was told there were 3 steps up to No.1, however there were 13 steps on an external metal staircase. 3. Security of the property in terms of the locks; the Yale lock is broken, the internal locking latch is missing completely - anyone with a key could just let themselves in. 4. The shower in the ensuite for a semi-disabled person is unsuitable. More attention to detail is required.

Our third visit here was just as good as before. A great location with parking, overlooking the river. The upgrades to the oven, microwave, placemats and the timely window clean were all welcome. A little TLC to the staircase decor, kitchen drawer and breakfast bar panel would complete the transformation.However none of this detracted from a very comfortable stay within walking distance of the shops, restaurant and small beach.
