From its pastel-coloured cottages and pretty streets to its bustling harbour and literary history, Fowey is the perfect spot for a dreamy retreat on the South East Coast. And perched on the hills overlooking the estuary, this traditional Victorian home welcomes you to enjoy a laid-back stay filled with mesmerising views. Set across three floors, you’ll find the quiet simplicity of this home inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. You could stay warm and snug by the wood-burning fire with a book or simply gaze at the constantly changing landscape. And whether you’re savouring the fresh salty air from the patio, taking a long soak in the bath or watching the sunset from the master bedroom, this is the kind of home that enriches daily living with comfort and ease. Stepping outside, it’s just a short stroll to the local shops, pubs and restaurants, while Readymoney Cove is just a ten-minute walk away. Brave an ice-cold dip, sail along the estuary or enjoy spectacular views from the coastal path. And for explorations further afield, the Eden project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a short drive away.
