Mrs Bakewell
A beautiful place to stay. Location is perfect, and the huge king size bed is the comfiest I've ever slept in. Open plan kitchen, diner, living room is stunning. The perfect base for staying in Fowey. Would definitely return in the future. Thank you so much.

Mrs Sharpe
A lovely house, about a 10 minute walk from the main shops. It was clean & comfortable. The only negatives we found are: the parking at Caffa Mill is cheaper at £19 for a week but it’s almost impossible to find a space unless you’re prepared to wait 15 minutes or more. Old Station Yard is less busy but £45 a week, we visited early July. The 3 steps at the front are very steep, quite high & there’s no rail to hold on to. The windows are older, original casements, lovely but don’t keep much noise out & are a bit draughty. In the master bedroom, the window coverings let in a lot of light, so if you’re photo-sensitive it will wake you very early in the morning.

Mrs Diane Malyon
Because the settees are sofa beds they aren't particularly comfortable as settees.the bedside mats were very slippery on the floorboards. Liked the spacious feel and the vintage bathroom. The property has been renovated to a high standard. 3 steep steps to the front door and 2 flights of stairs inside so not suitable for mobility issues.
