“The cottage superb, it had everything we needed, was comfortable, spacious, and clean.”

It was also in a very good location for the town, car park and ferry for trips out. We would happily return.

“Beautiful property in a perfect location.”

Easy walk to shops/ restaurants from the property. Property was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Would thoroughly recommend.

“This was the second time we stopped at Panacea, that in itself tells you a lot.”

Lovely house that's well equipped and Fowey is just a beautiful place.

“We loved Panacea, but felt the outside table and chairs was too small.”

Given the house can offer room for 8 there really was only room for 4 at a push. We struggled as a group of 3 to use the table outside for a cuppa or alfresco eating, while I understand access is needed through to the next property a bigger table would probably not hinder this but would give better options to use the patio. Also the bin store, although essential for laundry collection etc could do with being kept clean, the build up of bird poo is pretty awful to sit near. We loved Fowey and would definitely come back and maybe some thing on the other side of the street with river views? All in all a beautiful house.

Thank you for completing your feedback, which we have discussed with the owner. The property accommodates 6 and there is a 3 seated bench plus a bistro table with 2 chairs allowing 5 to sit comfortably outside, it is a challenge to provide any larger seating as you rightly say access is required for the neighboring property. At this time of year swallows are nesting and unfortunately do cause mess by the laundry store, the owner cleans this on a weekly basis and has plans once the swallows have left to add batons to the eaves of the property to try and help prevent this in the future.

“The property is well equipped and the room sizes and beds were as we expected.”

The property is located in a quiet part of Fowey and everything is easily accessible. Although the property was clean on our arrival, there is a persistent mouldy/damp smell particularly on the entry level. This smell is very obvious and off putting and hangs in the air. On our first night we had to strip all of the beds and rewash the bedding as they smelt really bad. It’s the kind of smell, where bedding hasn’t been laundered properly, it’s been left in the washer too long before being dried. The sheets also felt damp! We were informed that the cleanliness level is high due to Covid - meaning that the mattress protectors and pillow protectors were washed and changed after every visit. We found that this wasn’t the case as the housekeeper asked us to strip everything on leaving apart from the protectors. This is disappointing given the current situation of Covid and the fact that the owners had clearly communicated they would be clean. Although we liked the area of Fowey, we are unlikely to return and would not return to this property. We were unable to eat in any of the restaurants as they are all booked until September. Restaurant recommendations and advice for early booking would have helpful to know well ahead of our visit rather than just being told there are plenty of places to eat locally!

- Emma, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We have passed your comments to the owner who will discuss with their housekeeper. This is the first time this issue has been raised and will most certainly be addressed. Please be advised that the mattress protectors are stripped by the housekeeper, taken away and laundered separately, hence there is a different process to the bedlinen and towels. We are sorry that you were unable to eat at any of the local restaurants, unfortunately due to Covid all restaurants/pubs across the country now run on a booking only policy. Property Owner

“We really enjoyed spending time in Fowey and in particular at the lovely Panacea!”

! Ideally situated property, close to shops, bars, restaurants etc. and a very comfortable home. Property was beautiful and clean with all amenities that you would require. The lady who looks after the property was great - kept in contact with us and made sure that we had everything we needed and a few "little extras" too! Thank you Clare!! All information provided in the property was helpful during our stay. Nothing that you needed to ask for!! Car parking at Caffa Mill was easy - not far from the house either! We purchased the Cornwall Rover Parking Ticket (not really a ticket) from the Cornwall Council Website and were able to park on lots of other carparks around and about Cornwall on our days out!! This saved us finding change etc. every time we went out and was only £5.00 more than paying just to stay for 7 days on Caffa Mill in Fowey! The website had a list of all the carparks you could use - the ones we used were all in great positions!!

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Panacea.”

The house was very clean, beds very comfortable and a wonderful large shower. The car parking is not an issue and we had a toddler and a buggy! It was lovely to arrive and there be a bottle of wine in the fridge and biscuits on the kitchen counter. Will be returning!

Lorraine September 2019

“Would definately recommend this property, very clean, fully equipped and one of the comfiest beds I've slept in.”

Very near to the town and everything within walking distance.

- Lorraine, September 2019
Stella September 2019

“House was a great location just minutes walk to center of town.”

Everything was perfect in the house, kitchen fully stocked with anything you could need for cooking (we didn't cook once but rather enjoyed various restaurants!), beds comfy, the home was very clean. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

- Stella, September 2019
Graham August 2019

“We loved Fowey and the house.”

The house was nicely kitted out for self catering, with plenty of cuttlery and such. A large communal kitchen area linking directly through to the dining area and sitting room. Perfect for us. Fowey is so relaxed and civilised, with several nice places to eat out. We went to Sam's with the local fresh fish, a lovely Italian restaurant with seating on a balcony looking out across the estuary, and a cosy little Tapas bar further along towards "Readymoney Beach". All were good.

- Graham, August 2019
Amanda July 2019

“Fantastic holiday, perfect location.”

Away from the hustle and bustle of the town but very easily walked. It’s worth noting that the accommodation wouldn’t be suitable for the disabled or elderly. The accommodation had absolutely everything we needed. It is finished professionally with attention to detail. Carpark is easily accessible (it does get busy). Brilliant property which we didn’t want to leave.

- Amanda, July 2019
Carina May 2019

“The house was absolutely beautiful and so spacious.”

The downstairs living area is beautiful and great for children and all being together. Some people mentioned a lack of parking, but the car park is actually very close, so it really isn’t a problem. We got a £47 weekly rover parking ticket, which meant we could use it all over Cornwall (which we did). We would definitely stay again!

“Fantastic home from home, everything you need for a relaxing holiday, I ...”

Fantastic home from home, everything you need for a relaxing holiday, I recommend that you take a book so that you can spend a few hours reading as you take in the view from the two front bedrooms or just watch the activity’s on the water

“Fantastic property.”

Everything you could possibly need. A real home from home. Will definitely be going back!!

“Cottage very well located in Fowey.”

Short walk to the shops, ferries and car parks. Plenty to do on the doorstep without the need of the car. Cottage very well appointed and extremely clean. Everything you needed was in the cottage. Made self catering a pleasure. Would recommend the cottage and will be going back again. Thank you

“A stunning cottage in a lovely town by the river.”

Lots of things to do - including Eden Project, kayaking, Minack theatre - plus just enjoying Fowey. We had a fantastic week.

- Carolyn, September 2018
Elizabeth August 2018

“I was disappointed by the patio garden as it is really just a paved area by the front door.”

It is also a walkway from no.19. I feel the description is a little misleading. The house was lovely though and we had a thoroughly enjoyable week.

“Beautiful well kept house in a great location.”

Christopher July 2018

“The property is absolutely brilliant, and is furnished to a very high standard.”

It provides a peaceful retreat, but is only a short walk to the centre of Fowey. Our two young children loved having the top floor (bedroom, and en-suite) all to themselves! There is no parking, and you need to use the public car park. This is clearly explained in the property description, and we didn't find this a problem at all.

- Christopher, July 2018
Giancarlo July 2018

“It was a wonderful holiday.”

The place (Fowey) was beautiful and relaxing with lots of attractions nearby. The parking space we were able to book was very close to the house. The accommodation was great: the rooms were large and comfortable with all possible comforts. Nothing was missing. We really enjoyed it and hope to come back soon.

“Fantastic family holiday- lovely and clean and comfortable accommodation.”

Layout of house excellent to meet needs of space. Lovely hot showers/bath and kitchen well equipped for family gathering and haute cuisine! Delightful location in Fowey. Few comments- the accommodation is approx 100m from the car park- but this is a very long way from the car park in real terms and the suggestion that we can park on the one way street to off load is completely unpractical. Fortunately, the lovely house keeper very kindly offered and helped us carry our luggage (as my Mum is very elderly) inbound. We also paid £54/week for a the roaming car permit for Cornwall CC- on reflection as we had two cars= £108- we would book in future accommodation WITH car parking attached and with full river views on the Esplanade or near ReadyMoney cove- as in reality we would have been better paying an extra £100-£150 on the accommodation booking for free parking versus paying for a municipal car park! As in effect, we gained nothing but hassle in carrying luggage back and to.... and could have used this money towards a higher spec accommodation with parking and views included. A bathroom chair or dresser in the main bathroom would be useful.

The property

Panacea's elevated spot above the estuary in the heart of Fowey makes an exceptional holiday home for family, friends and couples.

The accommodation is a fabulous fusion of design-crush contemporary flair and luxe period charm.

Paces from restaurants, wine bars, inns, galleries and boutiques, this Victorian mid terrace grants a spacious and comfy interior for a mix of experiences; optimum tranquility and relaxation with coastal and recreational adventures and attractions on the doorstep! Steal away from the beautifully styled sitting room with bay window and meander through the narrow lanes to the centre of Fowey, a resort famed for its annual extravaganzas; Regatta Week; one of the UK's best loved sailing events, the Daphne du Maurier Festival and the Christmas Market.

The deep water harbour and estuary form part of a spectacular coastline; take to the water in a hired canoe and explore the secret creeks, hop aboard a pleasure boat or enjoy a fishing excursion.

Discover secluded beaches, ramble the woodlands or spy the panoramic seascapes across the bay from the coast path.

The water taxi to the charismatic fishing villages of Polruan and Mevagissey makes a fun adventure and the Bodinnick car ferry lands at Looe and Polperro - ideal for lunch and a scenic drive through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The sandy beach at Readymoney Cove to the south of Fowey is sheltered by cliffs on the town side and St Catherine's Castle on the other.

Beaches at Polkerris and Par Sands are also firm favourites.

Panacea boasts superbly presented accommodation over three floors, with views to the estuary.

A wood burner for fireside gatherings in the open-plan sitting room and a generous dining area make a great social space, and leads to the uber smart kitchen; a true heaven for cooks.

With three indulgently restful bedrooms in soothing, pared-back palettes - one with an en-suite shower room, and a chic family bathroom with a rain-head shower, it ensures creature-comforts are a given.

The raised front terrace makes a divine little space for an evening tipple, as the boat life tootles past.

About the location

FOWEY

Lostwithiel 8 miles; Polperro 8 miles

This small town and civil parish lies at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall. The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour, which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. There is a wealth of things to see and do in and around the harbour. Whether you enjoy getting out on the water, playing golf or finding out more about the history of the area, you are sure to find something to suit the whole family. Harbour cruises leave the Town Quay regularly in season giving you a superb view of the town, but for the more adventurous, rent your own self-drive boat, kayak or paddle board and explore the waters for yourselves! The town is steeped in history, so why not join a guided tour of either Fowey or Polruan? You can even join an owl experience, play golf, go horse riding or pursue your artistic talents with pottery or painting courses. There is the aquarium, museum and St Catherine's Castle, as well as Readymoney Cove, all waiting to be explored. If you get peckish, or fancy something thirst quenching along the way, there is a plethora of pubs, inns, cafes and restaurants to choose. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a look out for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances on throughout the year. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Discover them all from this fantastic base!

Notes: Parking available at Caffa Mill at a cost of approx £42 per week. Restricted height in twin room as in the eaves. 18 external steps to front door.
