Share this beautiful house in Cornwall’s fashionable Fowey with your favourite four-legged friend. Sleeping five guests, the enticing, three-bedroom retreat is situated at the centre of the picturesque town and features a balcony with views out across the river, as well as a pretty, courtyard garden. Take your delighted dog on coastal walks and trips to scenic coves and beaches.

Let yourselves into the attractive holiday home kitchen to find yourselves in the kitchen. Put the kettle on, fill up water bowls and start thinking about what to serve up for dinner to all members of your party, including those with four legs. Let your happy hound pad through to the lounge with you. Here you can open to doors on to the balcony on fine days, find your favourite programme on the Smart TV and spend some quality time with your canine companion. There is also a utility room, where he can stretch out in his bed when he fancies a quiet moment. Your own bedrooms are up on the first floor. These include a double, a single and a twin, each with an en-suite shower room. Spend evenings with a glass of wine in your hand and your chum at your feet out on the balcony or cooking supper on the BBQ in the garden.

Bound on to the dog-friendly ferry from Fowey to Polruan to explore the picture-postcard, coastal village before heading out along the South West Coast Path with your waggy-tailed chum beside you. A 4-mile walk from here will take eager paws to the National Trust’s beautiful Lantic Bay, where people and pups are always welcome. A 4.5-mile circular walk along part of the South West Coast to Polridmouth Cove and then inland will also offer the chance to cool warm fur in the sea.

Refuge Cottage is perfectly located in beautiful Fowey. Also the property is listed with a parking space, but this never materialised??, so you will need to pay to park for the week. Not a problem. On balance, we wouldn't stay at this property again.

Refuge Cottage was simply the best possible place for us to stay. We loved the location, in the centre of the bustling town of Fowey and yet totally quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed looking at the Christmas lights in Polruan and endlessly looking out of the window at the river, even though there were few craft at this time of year. I was absolutely misRead moreerable to leave - thank you. Hide

Refuge cottage is perfect for comfort, accessibility and location. The most amazing views. Everything you need on your doorstep. We spent hours on the balcony over the water and had the most relaxed holiday. Just loved being there and can recommend

Please read the entire message as it starts with a few negatives but does end on a positive note. The online information at the time of booking indicated that there was private parking for Refuge Cottage. Information provided a few days before the trip then advised us to park in the main public car park at additional cost. This property was chRead moreosen for elderly parents so this did cause some initial difficulties. I tried to make contact via your online chat facility but couldn't reach any chat hosts. There was some damp in the property that could cause problems for asthma sufferers and the settee is a little tired. Also the door handle came off the first time we opened the fridge, and the shower head in the twin-room was loose. However, none of this detracted from the fact that Refuge Cottage is a stunning property with a lovely homely feel. We absolutely loved the location and the views are amazing. None of us wanted to leave, including the dog :-) Thank you very much for a lovely holiday! Hide

Lovely cottage on a great location with great views and spotlessly clean. Marked down only because it says it has Wi-Fi but the system is so old it doesnt work and there is in theory no Wi-Fi at the property.
