  • Charles

    “Awful carpet in the hall, dreadful access, very poor main bathroom, no welcome pack and abysmal customer service.”

    - Charles, October 2025

    I’m sorry you were unhappy with your stay. We constantly receive positive feedback and high scores so are surprised by your comments but have looked into the issues raised. The bathroom has now been remedied after seasonal wear and tear, the carpets have all been deep cleaned and the full property will also have a deep clean during a winter closure, ahead of re-opening for the 2026 season. With regard to the access, Fowey is an historic town with narrow streets and specific information regarding parking and arrival at the house is provided when booking. Property Owner

The property

Nestled in the idyllic harbour town of Fowey in Cornwall is this delightful three-storey house, Driftwood.

Enjoying a fabulous central location with easy access to all local amenities and boasting beautiful river and town views, Driftwood makes for a wonderful dwelling for a group or family of up to six.

Step into the property where, on the ground floor, you will find two well-appointed bedrooms, a super-king size with TV and en-suite shower room and a twin with TV.

On the first floor you will find a spacious open-plan living area with a well-appointed kitchen including electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher.

A dining area has plenty of room for six to sit at the table.

The inviting sitting room area offers a smart TV and a charming window seat with superb views over the town, historic Place House and the River Fowey.

A family bathroom with bath and shower over is also on the first floor.

On the second floor is a generous double bedroom with far-reaching views.

The bustling town is only a short walk from the house and there you will find a good selection of pubs, restaurants, and cafes in what is increasingly becoming a foodie hotspot.

There is always plenty of sailing activity on the water and you must catch the regular foot ferry over the river to check out the quaint cottages and alleyways of Polruan.

For a day out at the beach it is just a brief stroll to Readymoney Cove where you can enjoy the sandy beach with its popular café, paddle the clear waters or just soak up the views.

Walkers can join the South West Coast Path within minutes and there are plenty of local circular walks giving splendid coastal and harbour views.

Driftwood is an ideal choice for the whole family and a perfect base for exploring at any time of the year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

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!
