Holiday homes & rentals in Fowey

If you're looking for a quintessentially British break in one of the country's most popular holiday spots, discover holiday apartments in the riverside village of Fowey. Whether you want to rent a pastel coloured town house on the waterfront, a stone-walled cottage on the edge of the village or even an apartment in one of the stereotypical Victorian buildings lining the river, there's a dwelling suitable for everyone. The self-catering nature of all these properties ensure that you have everything you need at your fingertips, leaving you an abundance of time to explore the local area and make the most of your break.

Embrace blissfully warm summers and snowy winters

If you book a holiday in Fowey, you'll be choosing the only county in the UK with areas whose climate is classed as sub-tropical. Cornwall is often treated to glorious sunshine during the summer months, with temperature's often soaring into the high 20°C and even 30°C.

Despite this, the area is also often hit with snow during the winter months, and sledging is a popular pastime on the hilly terrain around the village. A cosy cottage is the perfect way to enjoy Cornwall in both the sun and snow.

Exciting experiences to keep the children busy

You needn't worry about your children being bored during your stay, there's plenty of activities for children to do in the local area. In the neighbouring village of Par, you'll find Wingz Bird and Animal Sanctuary where you'll find a selection of rare birds, some of which you can get up close and personal with.

Alternatively, you could visit one of the area's largest attractions, which draws thousands of visitors in every year. The Eden Project houses the largest indoor rainforest in the world within two biomes, as well as some awe-inspiring sculptures such as a giant bee. For the thrill seekers, this is where you'll find England's longest zipwire.
