5 min walk into town - estuary views

Tastefully styled to reflect the nautical inspiration of the area with crisp white and sailor blue walls, vintage Cornish artwork, anchor and stripe soft furnishings. A cosy sitting room is perfect to relax in after a day on the water. Lead through to the separate kitchen with circular dining table all set for family meals and holiday living. Three beautiful bedrooms over two higher floors continue the nautical theme with sumptuous beds and white linens complemented by striped floor rugs and cushions. This coastal cottage is of a high standard and well equipped for your stay.
The kitchen door leads out to a characterful private courtyard garden with wooden dining table and chairs, lovely Fowey River views enable you to check for fair winds and calm seas! This private al fresco space really does capture the morning sun so breakfast in the garden is on the cards. The Hideout really is a fabulous coastal retreat suitable for families and couples alike. It is located on Lostwithiel Street in the heart of Fowey so everything really is on your holiday doorstep. Unlike many of the streets in Fowey, Lostwithiel Street does allow vehicular access so you can conveniently pull up right outside the property to unload. Fowey is nestled between Looe and Mevagissey on the south Cornish coast, an designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its natural harbour making it a mecca for talented yachtsmen. This once sleepy town is now alive with bustle from the boutique shops, chic cafes, exhibiting galleries, restaurants and fine dining hotels. Take a gentle stroll along the Esplanade or don your walking boots for the popular Hall walk bringing you neatly back to a local pub. This delightful Cornish harbour town really does offer something for everyone to enjoy all year round. The Hideout is a real gem be it family, friends or couples looking to immerse themselves in traditional Cornish life.

Amazing main bedroom
With great views. Having stayed in lots of properties around Fowey great location and clean. Frustrating to not have salt/pepper/cooking oil/enough hand soap. These sort of things are expected with rentals

Perfect getaway!
The Hideaway is exceptionally well cared for, with outstanding cleanliness especially for a holiday let that takes pets. The house is a superb location for enjoying all Fowey has to offer. Despite no parking outside, loading worked well and parking is a 5 minute walk away at Hanson Road. We are a couple who like plenty of space so wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to couples with furry friends and would 100% stay again.

Fowey town cottage
Located on a steep hill but only 1 min walk to the useful supermarket and bakery, this is a very pretty well appointed town cottage. Parking is a strenuous walk uphill to a public car park and about £40 for the week. Delightful master bedroom with stunning view of the church tower and harbour beyond. You do get used to the seagulls and clock chimes throughout the night. Well equipped kitchen and outdoor space with table and chairs. We loved our week.

Should have brought my tools
A very old and nicely situated cottage. It must have been a long season as there were a few niggly maintenance issues that needed attending to. For instance the front door was stuck solid and took a hefty shoulder to get it open . The lock on the back door didnt work either. I fixed by a purchase of wd40 and silicon spray. If I'd brought my tools I could have fixed it permanently. Cleanliness was just ok, quite a few cob webs. Cottage is situated on a steep hill and vehicle access is very difficult with no parking close by.

Joli cottage au centre de Fowey
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans ce joli cottage. La maison est joliement décorée, bien agencée. Il ne manquait de rien. À quelques mètres des pubs, restaurants, cafés et petites boutiques cornouaillaises. Et du port de Fowey

Lovely house
Great stay at the Hideout, ticked all the boxes for us, lovely location for the town, parking easy with the JustPark app and the main car pack at top of the hill, decent trek uphill from house to car park but not a problem. Fowey town is lovely, lots of nice restaurants, great chippie, and Rubys for ice cream, Carylon beach great, £5 for parking then 80 steps to beach, bar/cafe/beach shop and hire place for all water based activities.

Lovely Cottage
Cottage had everything you would need for a holiday in gorgeous Fowey. Top bedroom has amazing views, is very comfortable & spacious. I would definitely book this cottage again. There is a fairly steep climb from the town to the cottage & even more of a steep incline from the cottage to the car park. Because of this, would not recommend to someone with mobility problems, However, for myself it was great & helped walk off some of those cream teas.
