  Please read the entire message as it starts with a few negatives but does end on a positive note. The online information at the time of booking indicated that there was private parking for Refuge Cottage. Information provided a few days before the trip then advised us to park in the main public car park at additional cost. This property was chosen for elderly parents so this did cause some initial difficulties. I tried to make contact via your online chat facility but couldn't reach any chat hosts. There was some damp in the property that could cause problems for asthma sufferers and the settee is a little tired. Also the door handle came off the first time we opened the fridge, and the shower head in the twin-room was loose. However, none of this detracted from the fact that Refuge Cottage is a stunning property with a lovely homely feel. We absolutely loved the location and the views are amazing. None of us wanted to leave, including the dog :-) Thank you very much for a lovely holiday!

  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.

  We had the most lovely relaxing week at Veryan Cottage. Loved the views and the quiet but central location. The cottage was immaculate. Beds were comfy, showers were good, the kitchen was thoughtfully equipped. The window seats overlooking the town were gorgeous and we sat out on one or more of the terraces every day. The cottage is not huge but comfortably accommodated our two adults, two teens and a dog. The two bedrooms are on different floors which may not suit everyone but fine for us. Access to the cottage is in the middle of a steep flight of steps which again may not suit everyone. We had to put a bit of thought into how and when to unload / load our car but that seems to be the norm for Fowey. Main car park was a short (steep) walk away. Just a few minutes’ walk to the beaches for a morning swim - loved it! Would happily stay again.

  '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!

  Everything was perfect, cottage was clean and well presented.

  Easy walking access to the village centre. Could do with some more ventilation in the hot weather, perhaps a few pedestal fans. Car parking can be challenging, limited space in the Caffa Mill car park and a very steep climb back up to the main car park if you have to park there, which we did on several occasions. Have to be very careful stepping out of the cottage, it is straight into the road on a blind corner, got to listen carefully for traffic. Fowey is a beautiful village and perfect if you love boats and the hustle and bustle of village life in a tourist hot spot but it is peaceful in the early morning and evening. You need to book tables in restaurants way ahead of time, no availability at all on the day anywhere.
