The property

The Slipway Fowey Harbour with Garden is a characterful Victorian house set in the heart of Fowey, Cornwall, enjoying a sought-after waterside position opposite the historic Passage Slip.

With far-reaching harbour views from several rooms and the terraced garden, this inviting property sleeps up to six guests across three floors, making it a wonderful choice for families, friends, and those looking to experience one of Cornwall’s most picturesque harbour towns. Step inside to discover an open-plan living and dining area, where large windows frame ever-changing views of the harbour, from passing yachts to the Bodinnick ferry crossing the estuary.

After a day exploring, settle into the seating area and enjoy your favourite programme on the TV or simply take in the activity on the water.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for a self-catered stay, making it easy to prepare breakfasts before heading out or relaxed evening meals to enjoy together. The first floor hosts a king-size bedroom with impressive river views and a twin bedroom, both served by a shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.

On the second floor, a spacious king-size bedroom features a sofa and elevated views across the estuary towards Ferryside, once home to Daphne du Maurier. Outside, the property continues to impress with a front terrace overlooking the harbour, providing the perfect place to watch boats come and go.

The elevated rear garden offers an excellent setting for outdoor dining, with views stretching across the harbour and surrounding countryside. A pleasant walk takes you into the centre of Fowey, where a variety of shops, pubs, cafés, and restaurants await.

Explore Lostwithiel with its independent boutiques, Restormel Castle, and riverside walks, or visit Looe for its bustling harbour, sandy beach, and boat trips.

Head to St Austell to discover Charlestown Harbour, the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, and access to Cornwall’s dramatic coastline.

Nearby attractions include the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the fishing village of Polperro, known for its narrow streets and maritime heritage.

Guests can also launch a paddleboard or kayak from the nearby slipway or hire equipment at Caffa Mill to explore the estuary from the water. The Slipway Fowey Harbour with Garden provides a memorable base for discovering Cornwall’s coastline, countryside, and historic harbour towns.

About the location

FOWEY

Lostwithiel 8 miles; Polperro 8 miles.

Fowey is a small town and civil parish that 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 from. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a lookout for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances 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!
