Wide Eyes

Holiday Rental Description

Set in the vibrant Cornish sailing community of Fowey, alongside several Victorian buildings, this apartment is like something out of a fairytale. Designed to an incredibly high standard by your host, Alison, the interior feels very in keeping with the seaside locale without ever coming across as a cliche. There's not a deckchair stripe in sight. Instead, you're treated to sculptural driftwood lamps, moody seascape paintings, and a sophisticated palette of deep blues and grey tones that reflect the British weather more accurately than the usual sunshine yellow. If you can bear to leave the home, there are plenty of shops, restaurants and places of interest in the immediate vicinity. Fowey is a beautiful harbourside town with public events occurring throughout the year. The local community is a healthy mix of all ages who are warm and friendly and adept at making newcomers feel welcome.

Home truths:
*There are precisely twenty-five steps to the entrance door and no lift access, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The garden at the back is shared by fellow guests in the same building
*While certain pets are allowed, please confirm with the host in advance
*You have one assigned off-street parking space, large enough to accommodate two compact cars if you're driving - or it's also possible to catch a train to Par and then a bus to Fowey
