We loved the cottage - it was comfortable and well laid out. The location was superb, in the heart of town, but nice and quietly tucked away. The birds squawking and the church bells going off every hour through the night took a little getting used to - I can see where Daphne du Maurier got her inspiration for The Birds! Car parking was about Read more15 mins walk and that got busy at the end of the day when we returned from our day trips, so we sometimes had to wait for a space, but we always got one. All in all, a lovely cottage and Id definitely stay again. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay here- a lovely cottage in an amazing location in Fowey. The living area and bedrooms were perfect- very cosy. We found the kitchen and bathroom to be a little tired and in need of a refurb. But we would stay again!

Fantastic location right in the middle of Fowey, cafes and shops nearby. Although quite small every inch of space is used in this beautifully decorated cottage. Accommodated three of us and dog comfortably,definitely recommend, and hopefully we will be back.

Our second trip to Sideways Cottage! Great property close to the main street in Fowey with lots of fantastic places to eat. Very dog friendly with gates on the stairs and kitchen and a stable style front. Would definitely visit again.
