Located in southern Cornwall on a wide estuary, Fowey is a relaxing port that's always a joy to discover. Fowey holiday cottages put some of Cornwall's most beautiful coastline within easy reach. Head to picture perfect beaches and dramatic headlands, or take a detour up forested trails like Menabilly Valley for picnics and hilltop photos. Back in town, shops and pubs mix fine food and endless fun, making accommodation in Fowey tough to beat.
Fowey isn't a large town, but it's got plenty of history and character. Centuries ago, it was the launchpad for transatlantic voyages of discovery, and it retains a proud maritime tradition. Find out more at St Catherine's Castle, or dive into the maze-like town centre where quirky shops and welcoming pubs can be found around every corner. Or join a tour to discover the town's links with Daphne du Maurier, author of classics like "Rebecca". Culture, history, and charm combine here in a magical blend.
Alongside marine history and literature, Fowey holiday cottages will suit active travellers who want to enjoy Cornwall's famous coastal beauty. Walk the South West Coast Path with picnic supplies in your backpack, rent sailing craft to glide across the placed estuary waters, swim or bodyboard at Lantic Bay, or clamber down to the rockpools at Polridmouth Cove to meet the shore's wildlife. And if it rains, accommodation in Fowey delivers, with a fine aquarium, town museum, and covered market all waiting to be explored.
Whether you are brushing up on your literary history, planning endless coastal walks, or hitting the beach, self-catering accommodation in Fowey is the way to stay. You can switch from beaches to pubs without skipping a beat. Take a shower and freshen up, before dining out. Or have a cosy refuge to relax and share experiences when the rain falls. Dog owners will love having a base to keep their pals comfortable, and the intimacy of cottages is unbeatable for couples.
