Luxury Holiday Home In The Heart Of Fowey, Stunning Views Close To Town & Beach, Fowey

Cornwall. Sleeps up to 7

La Folie is a spacious Victorian town house located in the heart of Fowey on the principal waterfront road a few minutes walk from town, a few minutes from the nearest beach (White House) and 8 min walk to enchanting Readymoney Cove. Set on four floors with one twin room, one king/twin, one double room and two bathrooms, the house has been refurbished with elements of the contemporary interior whilst retaining many original features such as decorative fireplaces and a pretty ironwork balcony. The beautiful contemporary kitchen/diner (Beautiful Kitchens Magazine June 2010) is fully equipped and also includes flat screen TV and Rayburn.

We are able to accommodate one extra child on a daybed in our twin bedroom number three. We are also able to configure bedroom number two as a king bedded room. Included in your rental fee is some cleaning equipment e.g. dish washing tablets, washing up liquid, soap and some essential groceries. Hair dryer, iron and ironing board provided.

Whatever the season, the first floor living room is the perfect place to relax on the chaise longue whilst enjoying beautiful views of the harbour. Catch the last rays of the sun on the front balcony or head for the extensive decked roof terrace of wood, glass and stainless steel for sunbathing or sundowner drinks.

Fowey's lively atmosphere, interesting little shops and galleries plus a bustling quayside is sure to attract visitors of all ages and interests all year round. The town is famed for its strong connection with author Daphne du Maurier and honours her with a literary festival each May. Other literary connections include Sir Arthur Quiller Couch (Q) to whom there is a memorial and Kenneth Grahame who was married in Fowey. Local amenities are excellent with many family restaurants and pubs, golf courses, sailing, canoeing, fishing, walking and wildlife opportunities plus Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and National Trust properties nearby. Foodies will be attracted by Fowey's new upmarket restaurants Fitzroy and Appletons.

Some of our favourite things to do:
1) A boat trip or a walk to stunning Lantic Bay
2) Surfing in Watergate Bay or Polzeath (45 min).
3) Cliff top walk to Polkerris (2 hrs) followed by lunch at Sam's on the Beach.
4) The Hall Walk (1.5 hrs) taking in stunning views of Fowey.
5) Wind in the Willows River Cruise
6) Eat anything served at The Dwelling House
7) Sunday lunch at The Harbour Hotel
8) Crabbing on the quayside.
9) Sitting on our terrace
10) Golf at Carlyon Bay.

Located in Fowey, this vacation home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. St. Catherine's Castle and Pinetum Park and Pine Lodge Gardens are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Fowey Estuary and Readymoney Cove. Eden Project and Fowey Aquarium are also worth visiting. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
