About this property

21 Passage Street is an exceptional holiday home elevated above the river in the heart of Fowey, with river views from the first and second floor. There’s a wide range of pubs, restaurants, cafes, galleries, shops and activities just a short walk away.

Located at the top of a flight of external steps to an elevated terrace with furniture, this, three storey, Victorian mid-terrace house stands above the street to maximise views. It’s an ideal base for families and friends looking to explore Cornwall. The views from the top two floors are ever-changing with the Boddinick Ferry going to and from Fowey and boats, paddleboards, kayaks and other watercrafts darting around the river. The house overlooks Ferryside, Daphne du Maurier’s Boddinick family home.

The light and spacious open-plan living space is perfect for socialising and relaxing with friends and family, whatever the time of year. Cook up a feast in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy at the dining table before relaxing in the sitting area, with its wood burning stove and stripped floorboards.

All rooms include luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding and fluffy white towels. The spacious family bathroom includes a large bath and walk-in shower.

There is so much to see and do on your doorstep, wondering through the narrow streets of Fowey, famed for is Regatta week, one of the best sailing events in Cornwall.

Take a ferry trip to Bodinnick or Polruan. Walk down to our beautiful local beach – Readymoney Cove. Enjoy coast path walks to more beaches in the local area including Polkerris, Lantic Bay and Par Sands, which are firm favourites with our visitors.

With so much going on in and around Fowey, it’s easy to leave the car parked up for your entire stay. But within a short drive from the property, guests will find Restormel Castle, Charlestown, Lanhydrock House, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the incredible Eden Project.

There is so much waiting to be discovered with a Cornish getaway to 21 Passage Street.

This small town and civil parish lies at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall. The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour, which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. There is a wealth of things to see and do in and around the harbour. Whether you enjoy getting out on the water, playing golf or finding out more about the history of the area, you are sure to find something to suit the whole family. Harbour cruises leave the Town Quay regularly in season giving you a superb view of the town, but for the more adventurous, rent your own self-drive boat, kayak or paddle board and explore the waters for yourselves! The town is steeped in history, so why not join a guided tour of either Fowey or Polruan? You can even join an owl experience, play golf, go horse riding or pursue your artistic talents with pottery or painting courses. There is the aquarium, museum and St Catherine's Castle, as well as Readymoney Cove, all waiting to be explored. If you get peckish, or fancy something thirst quenching along the way, there is a plethora of pubs, inns, cafes and restaurants to choose. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a look out for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances on throughout the year. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Discover them all from this fantastic base!
