Overview
Fowey Lodge is a fabulous, modern, bright and airy holiday home. It is a unique property, conveniently located just a short walk from Fowey’s harbour, shops, pubs and cafes. In a wonderful elevated position with double aspect, it really is rather special. Unusual for such a central Fowey location, the lodge benefits for a delightful garden with alfresco dining and sensational views. With three gorgeous bedrooms, Fowey Lodge is perfect for six guests.
Fowey is a picturesque town and bustling small port which still has a busy commerical life as well as providing attractive moorings for leisure boats. The attractive harbour is flanked by fourteenth century blockhouses, one in Fowey and the other in the delightful town of Polruan on the opposite side of the river. A car ferry crosses the river to Boddinick. The ferry house was originally the du Maurier family home and later the home of Angela du Maurier, Daphne’s sister. The Fowey Estuary is stunning with boat trips galore. You will want to visit many of the villages on either side of the estuary.
Fowey Lodge is open plan in design with a stunning vaulted ceiling decorated with attractive beams. The striking apex windows make the most of the brilliant Fowey light, illuminating this contemporary space. With almost two whole walls of glass, you will wake up and be dazzled by the light and the stunning estuary views. Trendy sofas sit at one end of the living space where you can watch TV, chat, have a glass of wine or just generally think about how lucky you are to be staying in this magical spot. The dining table looks straight out to the water and the brilliant white, well-equipped, contemporary kitchen will delight the chef in the group. The outside garden offers a patio for alfresco dining with a barbecue and a sunny lawn decked with sun loungers ready for sunbathing and to enjoy your holiday read.
The delightful ground floor master bedroom enjoys an en-suite bathroom with a spa bath, just perfect for a relaxing soak with a glass of fizz. On the lower ground floor you will find the remaining two bedrooms. There is one with a king-size bed and a twin bedroom. They share a pristine bathroom with a bath and shower over it.

Location
About the surrounding area of Fowey LodgeThe pretty town of Fowey is on one side of the Fowey River with Polruan on the other. It is a bustling small port with commercial and leisure boats. During the Second World War, Fowey was the centre for air-sea rescue and one of the places from which the D-Day invasions were launched. St Catherine’s Point is on the Fowey side of the harbour entrance where it functioned as a lighthouse in medieval times. St Catherine’s Castle below was built during the reign of Henry VIII to defend the harbour entrance. It is accessible when walking from the pretty Readymoney Cove. Fowey has a fascinating history. On Fore Street you will find the Old House of Foye, a medieval house built in 1430. It is now a shop but the walls, beamed interior and fireplace are pretty much the same. During the summer, Fowey Town Hall opens as a museum and small aquarium. Fowey is a delight with craft shops, galleries and cosy restaurants lining the narrow streets. Daphne du Maurier is the most famous former resident of the town. She is celebrated with the Du Maurier Festival each May and at the Literacy Centre next to the church.
There are frequent ferries over to Polruan where you will find pretty cottages clinging to the hillside and breathtaking, panoramic views over to Fowey. If you want to take the car, you can take the car ferry to Boddinick where the ferry house is the original du Maurier family home.
The nearest beaches include Crinnis, Par Sands and Polkerris though there are many more. Par Sands boasts a huge expance of sand backed by pretty dunes. It is close to the village of Par, 4 miles from St Austell.
Restormel Castle is a popular excursion. It lies by the River Fowey near Lostwithiel. One of the four chief Norman castles of Cornwall, it is notable for its perfectly circular design. It was once a luxurious residence of the Earl of Cornwall but was ruined by the 16th century and is now under the supervision of the English Heritage.
Mevagissey is a working harbour nestled on the unspoilt Cornish coastline. It boasts an aquarium, museum, seafood restaurants, proper pubs, watersports, beautiful gardens, cycle trails and much more. It is within a UNESCO Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can walk from the town to the stunning Lost Gardens of Heligan and reach the Eden Project in 25 minutes by car. A ferry can be taken from Fowey to get there.
The villages you may want to visit in the Fowey area are Polruan, Bodinnick and Lanteglos to the east, Goland, Lostwithiel, Lerryn and St Winnow higher up and Twardreath, Par, Polkerris and Menabilly to the west.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFowey Lodge is an excellent base for a family but it is not suitable for young children. The garden area could be unsafe as it is raised in its elevated position. However, children aged 8 and over are very welcome.
Fowey is very popular with families wanting to enjoy the great outdoors and to explore this wonderful coastline. Some of the most popular beaches for families are Lansallos Beach which is quite quiet, the south facing Lantic Bay between Polperro and Polruan with views towards Pencarrow Head, Par Sands Beach which is popular for flying kites, the sheltered Polkerris Beach, Polruan Quay Beach and Readymoney Cove Beach. The choice is endless though. Some offer watersports tuition.
Fowey itself has an aquarium, museum and St Catherine’s Castle, all of which children might find interesting, not to mention the ice-creams and the ferry boats. If you are staying during August, children love the Fowey Regatta. There are boats, floats, rafts and fireworks. There is a procession through the town with wonderful costumes. You can spend time with ‘The Bird Lady of Fowey’ at Lescrow Farm and her majestic birds. You can be up close with owls, Loki the hawk and others. If is a fabulous experience that children will not forget.
Children always love a boat trip and there are plenty of options in Fowey. Fowey River Trips and Sea Cruises offer great value for money trips to see Daphne du Maurier’s house, Bodinnick Quay, Penmarlam Quay, the China Clay Factory, Polruan and lots more. Encounter Cornwall run daily guided canoe trips and kayak hire on the estuary. There are two 3 hour trips. The Creeks and Backwaters tour paddles upriver and the Harbours and Beaches tour paddles down to Fowey Harbour and the sea on low tide. It is also very easy to hire your own boat.
The Eden Project is just 7 miles away, one of Cornwall’s most popular attractions. The Eden Project is an educational charity. It is nestled in a huge crater where massive Biomes house the largest rainforest in captivity together with stunning plants, exhibitions and striking contemporary gardens and summer concerts. Year round there are wonderful family events some thrilling and others educational. The ice rink is always popular.

Fowey Lodge was the perfect place to stay, central location, but set back so as to avoid hustle and bustle and set high to make the most of the fantastic views. Extremely comfortable, with everything you could wish for. We would recommend Fowey Lodge to anyone (except for when we want to stay, so that it’s not fully booked!) we will definitely be back to stay.
