Great cottage in Fowey

Tracy’s cottage in Fowey was perfect for our New Years stay. Great quiet location away from the main road and high street but a short 5 min walk to the shops and restaurants. The place was spotless, very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for us and our 2 children. Would definitely stay again.

Last week of school holidays - so a little quieter than peak season. Cottage in fantastic location and so much to do in Fowey that barely used the car. Tracey really helpful - especially when someone locked themselves out - though worse places to lock yourself than in Fowey. Would certainly visit again

Lovely stay in Fowey

We have stayed at Duchy Cottage on several occasions and as always we had a wonderful time!The cottage is always beautifully clean and well equipped. The outside space is a plus! It is well located, close to shops, restaurants and a 10-15 minute walk to be beach. There is a car park close by which always has plenty of spaces. There is lots to see and do in and around Fowey. We particularly enjoy doing the Hall Walk, renting kayaks from Fowey River Hire and paddling down the estuary and of course having a cream tea! We would thoroughly recommend and look forward to our next stay!!

Ducky cottage

Delightful stay with every amenity catered for cottage is well equipped with everything you could possibly need very clean and modern whilst still maintaining its quaint charm only one little downside parking! This should really be addressed in the advertising explaining it’s a good 10 min uphill walk to car park which you have to pay for separately £44 pound a week per car

Perfect stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay and it's only a short distance from the town and harbour. We chose not to cook and to eat out but if you wanted to cook then the kitchen was well stocked with every kitchen item you would need. So much thought had gone in to the cottage, being a home from home experience. If you do decide to eat out then we highly recommend The Safe Harbour (right next door) The Galleon Inn, Haveners and The Lugger, all served great food. All in all we had a lovely relaxed stay and would love to return in the future.

Lovely cottage in Fowey

The cottage is in a great spot EXCEPT for the buses that stop outside from the crack of dawn until late at night. It is right next door to a pub too and can be a bit noisy, especially if your children go to bed before the patrons leave for the night... Apart from that though, we did have a lovely week at Duchy Cottage. There was everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The beds are soooo comfy!

tolles Haus!

Wir waren mit vier Erwachsenen und zwei Teenagern dort und haben uns eine Woche lang sehr wohl in diesem gemütlichen Cottage gefühlt. Das Haus ist super eingerichtet und hat wirklich alles, was man braucht! Das WLAN war sehr gut und die Küche so gut ausgestattet wie ich es selten erlebt habe. Zu Fuss ist man in 5 Minuten im Ortszentrum, wo es auch einen kleinen (!) Supermarkt gibt. Der Ort Fowey ist ein sehr idyllischer Ort mit netten kleinen Geschäften und schönen Lokalen direkt am Wasser. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war ausgesprochen nett und die Schlüsselübergabe problemlos. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in Dutchy Cottage!

Lovely holiday in Fowey

We have had an excellent week away in Duchy Cottage. The benefit of the excellent location into town was a real plus point. On the whole the cottage suited us as a family with a 4 yr old and a baby with a highchair and cot provided, however being next door to a pub and outside smokers as well as frequent buses and no parking weren’t ideal, it was particularly noisy on a Friday / Saturday night, but the positives do outweigh these issues. There is a steep hill coming back from town, but it is such a short walk it never seemed a problem. We managed to find off road parking not too far away so saved on the parking charges. Fowey is a lovely town with a great atmosphere and good places to eat, we also enjoyed visits to Mevagissey & Charlestown. Thank you to the owners for providing us with useful info on the area.

Relaxation in Cornwall

The property was comfortable and well appointed. Unfortunately the peace was broken every half hour as the bus departure point is immediately outside and runs from early morning to late evening.
