Fowey is a delightful old seaside town with many attractions. As well as local shops there are galleries showing the work of local artists and craftspeople, gift shops, riverside cafes and bistros as well as tea rooms serving delicious cream teas, all within walking distance of The Square Rig apartments.
Home to a royal yacht club, Fowey holds a Royal Regatta every August, a week-long festival which takes place both on and off the water. Every May there is also a cultural festival. Authors Daphne du Maurier and Arthur Quiller Couch lived in Fowey and the town also has links with Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows, which is loosely based on the River Fowey and uses local landmarks in the story.
On the river and the estuary there is a wide variety of birds as well as seals and even dolphins which sometimes venture close to the shore. Sightseeing boat trips offer the opportunity not only to spot the wildlife but also to see this dramatic coastline from a different perspective. If you fancy exploring further afield there is the Fowey to Mevagissey boat that runs throughout the season (weather permitting), or you can take one of the Square Rig’s kayaks or the rowing boat (strictly at guests own risk, limited range of buoyancy aids, guests are advised to bring their own or hire locally) up the river and see the small waterside villages with their quaint churches and lively pubs.
If you feel like a walk, ferries cross the estuary at both ends of the town, going to Bodinnick and Polruan. Once on the other side, there is the famous Hall Walk that follows the estuary, taking you through wooded valley, past hidden creeks and offering amazing views from the cliffs.
Other activities such as cycling, golf, horse riding and walking can all be enjoyed locally. Visits can be made to historic country houses and castles such as Lanhydrock House and Restormel Castle, as well as the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and other National Trust and private gardens found in Cornwall.

Excellent apartment, fully equipped with everything that we needed. Some information regarding how to get to the games room & boathouse would be useful, we had to ask friends who had stayed before.

Scored 8 on equipment as I think the balcony table needs a parasol. Additionally, the cutlery and its storage are looking a bit "tired". Scored 8 on cleanliness as a bag and jacket were left in the entrance hall when we arrived (presumably a tidy up from the previous occupancy).Overall, this is a fabulous holiday rental and we are returning.

The cottage is in a fantastic position and very clean. The only downside is you hear lots of noise from the upstairs neighbours talking and what sounds like dragging of furniture, that said you do get used to it. I don’t necessarily think we had particularly noisy neighbours but more around insulation? There is also an issue with the shower drainage. The outlet would appear to be permanently sealed stopping it being taken out to clean, the caretaker put Mr Muscle down to alleviate the problem which helped but not a permanent fix.It would also be nice to have more comfortable furniture on the outside deck. The table and chairs were fine for eating at but very uncomfortable long term. The below and above decks do appear to have better outside furniture. That said we would stay here again, with a few tweaks the property would go from very good to outstanding!
