Choose from 8 places to stay in Fowey
Fowey is a compact harbour town on Cornwall’s south coast, with steep streets, a busy estuary and sheltered spots like Readymoney Cove close by. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Fowey puts you within walking distance of the waterfront, ferries across to Polruan, small sandy coves and boat trips that run out into St Austell Bay. It is easy to mix pottering around the town’s shops and cafés with short coastal walks and time on the water.
Families can spend one day on Readymoney Cove, another taking the Polruan ferry and walking a stretch of the coast path, and another heading out on the Mevagissey ferry for a change of harbour altogether. Steeper streets and steps are worth bearing in mind with buggies, but also mean lots of viewpoints and places to stop for snacks and boat-watching. A holiday home tucked into Fowey’s streets gives you a simple base to return to for naps, baths and easy suppers, with the bonus of being able to nip back out for an evening ice cream or a quick look at the river before bed.
