There are good local pubs and excellent restaurants in Fowey.

Each house has a detailed welcome pack with general information about the house and local information, if you would like a preview please click here.

Eliza, our mature 14-year-old daughter, is very happy to offer her babysitting services. We always support her by staying at home next door and we usually find that some of the evening is spent in our house with the dressing up box!

If you are looking for an adventure, a relaxing massage or a private yoga session during your stay, you have come to the right place. Just let us know your preferred combination of adventurous and relaxing activities and we'll do the rest.

Other places to consider visiting which are outside of the Fowey area are listed below:

The Eden Project (01726 811911) is a must if you have not seen it already

The Lost Gardens of Heligan (01726 845100) combined with a visit to Eden or the south coast make a good day out.

National Maritime Museum Falmouth (01326 313388) is worth a visit and can be combined with a day in and around Falmouth.

Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum St Ives (01736 796226) Both the galleries and St Ives are great for a day out if you are happy with the drive, which in the summer can be well over an hour.

National Trust (01208 74281) there are plenty of great National Trust walks and buildings around this part of Cornwall and Lanhydrock House, which is nearby, is a real gem!

The Hall for Cornwall (01872 262466) is a good venue for local and national theatre. You could combine an afternoon performance with a day in Truro with its excellent shops and beautiful Cathedral. Don't miss Kneehigh, our local theatre company, if they are playing nearby.

Other local theatre and dance performances are at Sterts open-air theatre on Bodmin Moor or the beautiful Minack Theatre which is further west. (Don't forget to wrap up and take something to sit on.)

Other local productions, workshops and film listing can be found through the Restormal arts website.
