This is a lovely cottage located right in the heart of Fowey. It is unique in having a parking space which is great but beware manoeuvring the car onto the drive is not easy! The cottage is very well equipped with a charming kitchen but like a lot of cottages it is quite dark with steep sets of stairs to each floor, and there is no view if that is Read moresomething guests are looking for.

River Watch is one of the best located, thoughtfully furnished and equipped holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. One could never tire of the river view, and a cosy place to stay if the weather is bad. So easy to walk to the shops and restaurants, but also easy to drive to other local areas. A gem of a place.

River Watch is a beautiful cottage with everything you could ask for! The small courtyard was lovely to sit out in (when we had the weather!) the location is perfect, Im not sure you could beat it.
