  What a unique and very special property Oakenhurst is!

  We had a lovely stay for 2 weeks in November (2023). We were lucky enough to have some sunny days, and the views out across the river are just amazing. It was so relaxing just sitting watching the boats, canoes, and wildlife go by! We were really warm and cosy inside during the evenings, and on the days when the weather was a bit grim. The bedroom in the sail loft is also lovely and cosy. We prefer to visit Cornwall out of season as it is quieter, and Oakenhurst is the perfect property if you like peace and tranquillity, but still want easy access to everything. We would also highly recommend a visit to the Fisherman's Arms, which is a 2 minute walk away, and does excellent food all year round. The train does not disturb at all - in the 2 weeks we stayed, it only went past twice (both times during the day), and it is very slow as it only carries china clay. The only suggestion we would make, is to take a trolley for luggage and shopping (we took a festival trolley) as there is a short (less than a minute) sloped walk from the car park to Oakenhurst. Loading everything in the trolley cuts down on journeys to and from the car! All in all, we loved our stay in this special property and hope to return soon!

  Our two weeks stay at Hybadore was fabulous.

  Fantastic location, fantastic accommodation. Just outside our converted barn we had a private garden which was a real suntrap. Our dog loved that garden, but not as much as she loved the meadow immediately outside the garden gate. There are a couple of benches supplied in the field and we used them to admire the spectacular sunsets, with a glass or two of vino. Inside the house the kitchen is very well equipped and finished nicely. In the living room there is a huge and comfortable L shaped settee, which is essential if your trying to relax after lots of dog walking and swimming! Everything was spotless and very well presented. The owners of Hybadore, Terry and Sarah-Jayne, are extremely welcoming, seemingly always willing to stop and chat and a real source of local knowledge. There is a local pub down the hill in Golant village, The Fishermans Arms, which is a great spot for a few beers a good food. The hike back up the hill didn’t feel too bad after that! Hybadore is a great base to explore all that Cornwall offers. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

  Lovely cottage, great location and equipped with everything you could need during your stay.

  As per the description it is a small cottage but it does not feel it once you have settled in. It is short walk to the shops and restaurants and all Fowey has to offer. There is so much choice within Fowey we ended up eating out every night. Due to Covid restrictions you need to book a table if you are going out or else you will be disappointed! Parked in Caffa Mill every day and found a space every day. We bought a weekly rover parking ticket before we got to Fowey so could use it in Caffa Mill and every other long stay car park in Cornwall which we found really useful. A lot of thought has gone into this cottage and making it as welcoming and comfortable as it is. We hope to return and would not hesitate to stay in Serendipity again. Two things to note but did not cause us any issues at all are that the stairs are a little steep, but perfectly useable and the shower is over the bath which is very deep! We had a lovely time in Serendipity and loved it and Fowey.

  Two weeks of bliss with our two border collies.

  Ideally located property in beautiful surroundings. Accommodation is spacious and has everything you need and accommodates all your needs. The views are great as the living accommodation is upstairs and benefits from the main bedroom downstairs as cooler with the lovely hot weather. Bed was really comfy. Great shower and bath to soak your muscles from walking. Additional separate toilet from main bathroom is ideal. Loved walking in the meadow opposite the enclosed garden and seating area. 10 minute walk to the estuary and the Fisherman's arms so great to have a meal and a pint without using the car. Fowey short drive away for lovely for places to eat, quirky shops and views. Terry and Sarah Jayne great hosts as well as mum (thanks for the mop bucket as bit of a clean freak) The only thing I can say to improve the experience would be an upgrade to the corner leather settee but functional. We would definitely stay again as so peaceful.

  'A wonderful place to relax'   We had a lovely stay in Serendipity, it was a surprise holiday for my partner, we love Fowey, this is our second visit this year!

      Having seen a few comments recently about the cottage, I can confirm that there has been some maintenance done in Serendipity.  The bed was so comfortable, the white bedding with the lovely fur throw makes it so cosy for this time of year.  The bathroom looked very clean and we didn’t have a problem with the towels.  The kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve seen in a holiday let.   Serendipity is a great little cottage for 2, very cosy and warm, tastefully furnished to high standards meant we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Fowey.   Good places to eat: The Ship, Pintxo and Sam’s.  We had a couple of good walks – The Hall walk from Bodinnick and the walk from Readymoney beach along the coastal path to Polkerris.   We will be back again soon to Serendipity, thank you!
