Cob Loaf Cottage

Fowey, Cornwall

This charming cottage, located on the outskirts of Fowey, Cornwall, offers a delightful retreat for families or small groups, accommodating up to four guests with its two bedrooms. The cottage, which has been tastefully converted from a former mill, is part of a small cluster of stone-built cottages that includes a play area for children. Its proximity to the sandy beach at Readymoney Cove, just half a mile away, makes it an ideal spot for beach lovers and those looking to explore the natural beauty of the region.

Fowey itself is a picturesque waterside town, also located half a mile downhill from the cottage. Visitors can enjoy a variety of local shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a selection of gift shops. The area is rich in outdoor activities, with public footpaths leading to the small sheltered beach at Readymoney Cove, and opportunities for scenic creek and coastal walks. Notable trails include The Hall Walk, and a ferry service operates across the harbor to the village of Polruan. The Saints Way footpath provides a longer hiking option, connecting Fowey to Padstow on the North Coast.

For those interested in exploring further afield, several attractions are within a 15-minute drive, including the historic Lanhydrock House, the beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the renowned Eden Project. Additionally, the nearby villages of Polperro and Looe can be reached via the Bodinnick car ferry, while a seasonal passenger ferry offers access to the charming fishing village of Mevagissey. This variety of nearby attractions makes the cottage an excellent base for exploring the South West of England.

The cottage features a cozy lounge that opens into a small rear garden, complete with a gravel terrace and steps leading to a sheltered lawn. Guests will appreciate the private lawned garden areas at both the front and rear of the property, although these are not enclosed. The communal play area for children and picnic benches are available for all visitors, while pets, specifically one small dog, are welcome under supervision. With designated parking and a loyalty discount for returning guests, this cottage promises a comfortable and enjoyable stay in a beautiful setting.
