Fowey is famous for it's yachting and for it's narrow, winding streets and pretty whitewashed cottages. There is a fine selection of bars and bistros - some with terraces out over the water and quirky tea shops.  For shopping, Fowey offers Cornish craft shops, award winning butchers and deli, wine merchant and fishmongers selling their local catch. There are also art galleries, a tourist information center, beauty parlour and fantastic bookshops. A picturesque harbour, pretty little beach and ancient castle ruin overlooking the sea make this a perfect base for a holiday.

The Old Watermill

Standing in over an acre of gardens with spring fed tumbling waterfalls and millpond, The Old Watermill provides the perfect Cornish Escape. Sparrow hawks, kestrels and a barn owl are frequent visitors. Early risers can sometimes spot deer emerging from the woodland. There is also an ancient badger sett in the grounds and badger watching for the very patient can be organised by prior arrangement with Carrie. 

There are idyllic woodland and riverbank walks from the doorstep. The waterside village of Golant is just a short walk throuch the woods, across a smuggler's creek and high along the banks of the Fowey River with breath- taking views. There you will find a fisherman's pub with gardens down to the waters' edge serving local ale and Cornish pasties. The tidal sandbanks are full of estuary birds including cormorant, sandpiper and little egret.

Just a short note to say thank you. We had a great, but all too short, stay in your apartment. It was a fantastic place to stay and just what we were looking for – lots of attention to detail which made all the difference. It felt very luxurious and none of us wanted to leave. It was great to finally find somewhere that would take a one night booking when I had almost given up. Unfortunately the weather was not so kind, but we enjoyed a walk into the main town and the sights along the estuary before the weather broke. Anyway, thanks again – I am under pressure from the family to book another, longer, stay sometime! Regards Simon

This is quite possibly the best place we have ever stayed...regardless of price

I love everything about this place, not least Flossie the pony. Chose to stay in Mill Cottage again (because it's a cute, comfy, traditional country cottage). The barns are also lovely, luxurious and more contemporary - great for couples. Stayed April 2011, travelled with family
