Magic stay in Fowey

Lovely apartment, beautifully decorated, all you need (and more) for a comfortable stay, with great views of the River Fowey. Fowey itself is a hidden gem, so full of character and the single narrow main street discourages general flow through traffic, ensuring it is lovely and quiet.

Brilliant Holiday Stay

Thanks to Debbie and Chris for a fab stay at their cottage. Check-in was easy. The cottage and location excellent for Fowey high street and all the shops and restaurants. The kitchen, had everything we needed and was well thought through! Lots of helpful info on what to do in the area too. Our kids loved the crabbing off the slip way in front of the house! View of the water excellent and fun watching the ferry go to and fro as well as all the yatchs and boats. We had a lovely stay!

This is a beautiful cottage with all the comforts and conveniences of home. The view over the estuary is stunning! The location is great, and parking is very close by. We had such a lovely stay and really enjoyed exploring Fowey and the surrounding area.

Great visit

Fowey is a wonderful little Cornish village and well worth a visit. House location was great - short walk into village, nice views over river. House was homely with everything we needed to make our visit enjoyable. We had no problems with parking at the public car park which is about 2 min walk from house.

Wonderful home-from-home with outstanding views

This was our third stay at Out of the Blue and we had another wonderful experience. We love feeling so at home in this comfortable and clean cottage with incredible views of the river. Easy walk into town, and Caffa Mill car park is close by. Fowey is a fantastic place, very welcoming and lots of fun. Many thanks Debbie and Chris for all your help, wonderful hosts

"Out of the Blue" was quite stunning --- *very* well equipped and comfortable, and an amazing view out of the front windows. Hosts are very helpful and friendly. Hoping we'll be able to go back as we really loved it. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic property, great location and views

We have just returned from a 3 night stay and it was truly memorable. The property was very clean and bright, with everything you'd need, the information provided by Debbie and Chris was comprehensive, including places to eat and see. The Caffa Mill car park was nearby (£6.95 per 24hrs), we came in this way to avoid the narrow streets from the other direction as it was quite busy, and is a short walk to the property. We really enjoyed our stay and would really recommend this property, and would love to come back again in the future.

Wonderful cottage with breathtaking views

This was our second time at Out of the Blue and we had another wonderful stay. Fantastic location just a short walk from the centre of Fowey with outstanding views of the river, we loved watching the Boddinick Ferry and river traffic. Clean, comfortable and brilliantly equipped cottage - a real home from home. We enjoyed playing the board games! Thanks so much Debbie & Chris for all your help and support, such thoughtful hosts. We look forward to returning again!

Great stay right in the middle of town

Beautifully decorated house , very well equipped, and lovely layout. The views are incredible due to its elevated location . Bedrooms were of good size with plenty of cupboard space. If you prefer a queter stay, choose the bsck room as the ferry starts at 6.30am .. Lovely to see though . Short walk into town so very easy for supplies, restaurants and bars. Thank you Debbie for making this stay so smooth .

The perfect spot.

We really enjoyed our stay at ‘Out of the Blue’. The house, accessed via steep stone steps, was perfectly located to watch the comings and goings on the river. The accommodation was bright and airy and very clean. Everything we needed was to hand. We stayed 4 nights and left our car in the main carpark which was very reasonably priced at £15 for the whole of our stay. Spaces are competitive so be aware you may not be able to park when you return after a day trip. Everyone in the town was very friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets but of course a Cornish Pasty is a must and there are plenty to buy. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you very much.

INCREDIBLE!!!

The house has a view of the River Fowey from the living room and the MBR! The house is beautifully furnished and decorated with COMFORTABLE couches and beds. We slept like babies here! It is at the end of the little town of Fowey near the car park ( very convenient if you have a car). Being in Fowey is like going back in time.. it is beautiful, with only one tiny one way street. No car noises! Wonderful restaurants, shops, grocery stores nearby for cooking at the house in the lovely kitchen. Great hiking amongst the wildflowers: like in a dream. Ferry rides to the villages across the way, which was great fun. We couldn't have been more entranced with our stay here! The house was perfect as was the town of Fowey!

A lovely cottage, compact and just right for two people. Tastefully decorated and everywhere looking clean and fresh, with everything you might need. Fabulous view of the waterfront and the nearby Bodinnick ferry (which isn't noisy at all) and a pleasant stroll into the centre of Fowey.Car park is close by but it can be difficult to find a space - you just have to wait!
