    It’s a wander full place full of charm beauty It was no view of the river as described. The trees covered all The trees are there huge The picture taken was not accurate (did talk to locals about The unit was clean neat well organized but the stairs to the bed room were very steep Should have been mentioned I am 82 years old) Just mention itM so one can take his own decision I handèle it but was scary and difficult Accidents can happen Communication Expected to be direct not through VRBO. but Mark was very good In responding Thanks The village is a pearl of the Cornwall.

    Location was great, so quick to walk into town, waterfront and the boat trips. Lovely to have outside space to enjoy.

    Great location and well set up with everything you would need. Lovely comfy bed and couldn’t be more convenient for getting into the town. Couldn’t help but notice a couple of things though. The microwave didn’t cook which was frustrating and we noticed the cleaner turned up with a new one as we left so it was clearly something the owner was aware of. The shower leaks from the corner of the tray especially if you use the horizontal part. You can hear the neighbours when sat in the lounge and smell their cooking. Advertised as having parking when we searched for it. This couldn't be further from the truth or more inconvenient for getting in and out with your bags.

    Pros Fowey is great - quaint winding streets, plenty of shops, good restaurants and pubs to cater for every taste, and a secluded beach at the end of the Esplanade. Owner and local representative both friendly and responsive to requests Literally just a two minute walk to Fowey centre Private, partially secluded outside deck space Cons If you arrive late afternoon it can be hard to find vital supplies. Most holiday lets provide some kind of welcome pack, but here there was none (not even any toilet roll in the loo!). Also no hairdryer but we brought our own anyway as some aren't powerful enough. The staircase is steep and with narrow treads that are smaller than an adult male foot. There’s no handrail at the top - when I had to get up in the night for our dog, I ended up sliding all the way down and badly grazed my hip. That could have ended up a lot worse but I was in discomfort which impacted our holiday. I had to visit my Dr on our return for a large bursa that came up on my hip. The outside deck would be a lot more attractive if it had been weeded … as it is, it’s not a particularly welcoming space, no padded cushions for the metal seats. The church is around 200ft away and the church clock chimes every hour through the night. The bedroom is small and quite warm and stuffy (even though it wasn’t hot weather during our stay) so we needed to have the window open all night and the bell woke us most times, despite using earplugs. A white noise phone app helped a bit

    The property is ideally situated in the centre of Fowey and close to pubs, restaurants and local shops. We chose this particular place as it had an outside space which is important as we were accompanied by our 2 small dogs. Check in was easy and well communicated via the app. First impressions were that the accommodation was small but had everything needed. On closer inspection and taking previous reviews into consideration the decorative order is showing its age with a coat of paint needed and a little TLC especially in the bathroom. The outdoor space is really good and rare for a property in the centre of town. As detailed in the property description there was a BBQ but there was no gas bottle so we enquired via text to the housekeeper. Later that evening we received a call from the owner stating there was no BBQ, we pointed out that there was and the response was that it shouldn’t be there and would be removed. We enjoyed our stay and the issues highlighted could be easily rectified which would make this place 5 stars.

    A lovely old building with a small, but charming bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen. Owners were on hand to answer any queries quickly which was appreciated. The outdoor space is a bonus and has lovely views from the top decking area. The bathroom could do with some TLC - bit grubby in places, sink is wonky so collects water, shower screen leaks and toilet seat and flush just not fit for purpose. Some hooks in the property would be really useful to hang wet coats and on the back of the bathroom door for a dressing gown. These are the only reasons we would give 5*. We really enjoyed our stay and thought the location was excellent. Plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops and the nearby Hall walk was great.

    Excellent. Just as described on website. Perfect position to wander and explore the town. Great to forget the car for a weekend, explore a very pretty town with plenty of eating places and then return to very comfortable and well appointed accommodation.
