Description from owner
Description
Orchard View forms one of six sympathetically restored apartments in a period Regency Country House in Fowey. It is set in large beautifully maintained gardens and benefits from the shared use of an indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool (40' x 20'), sauna, and a changing room with shower and cloakroom. Orchard View is on the first floor, and has high ceilings, large Georgian windows and solid oak flooring. Outside there is parking for two cars. The nearest beach is Readymoney Cove, a ten-fifteen minute walk from the end of the garden via a picturesque wooded footpath known as The Parade. Readymoney Cove has a sandy beach with rock pools and safe swimming. Walkers can easily access the south west coast path and the Saint's Way from the gate at the end of the garden. Polkerris beach can be reached by both paths. Polriddmouth, which is a gently shelving beach and ideal for picnics and swimming, is a twenty minute walk. Par and Polkerris beaches are approximately a ten minute drive. Fowey town centre is a 10-15 minute walk.

SHOPPING
There are several well-loved brand stores in Fowey such as Seasalt, Joules, and Mountain Warehouse. But the real charm of the town lies in the wide range of boutique, unique, and independent shops. You can spend hours browsing for clothes, homewares, crafts, glassware, art, antiques, books, seaside knick-knacks, traditional children’s toys and don't forget the old-fashioned sweet shop!
There are also top-quality bakeries where you can find bread, rolls, pasties, cakes and treats. There may be no large supermarket, but with two local convenience stores and a Boots, you'll still find everything you need. There is a Co-op around 5 miles away, Asda and Tesco are around 7 miles, and all the major supermarkets will deliver online shopping as well.
THINGS TO SEE & DO
Fowey is an estuary river town, so the obvious thing to do is spend a day messing about on the water! There are many kayak, canoe, and boat hire centres that go from both Quays. If you don’t have the strongest sea legs, then why not just take the passenger ferry over to Polruan for an afternoon! If you fancy going a little further, you can take the ferry round to Mevagissey too.
In the centre of Fowey there is a sweet little aquarium, a local museum, and a MAD museum – all are worth a peek! Fowey has a 14th century church in the centre of the town and a 15th century fort, St. Catherine’s Castle, on the edge of the estuary overlooking Readymoney Cove.
The closest beach to town is Readymoney Cove, which has clean sands and is perfect for swimming. A swimming platform is moored off the beach during the summer months. There is also a fabulous little shop for all your seaside needs. However, no dogs are allowed between Easter and October.
There is a secret sea-pool hidden currently being renovated back to its former glory at Whitehouse Pier which is perfect for a refreshing paddle while looking out over the estuary. It can only be found at certain times, so check those tide times!
Within a 5/10-minute drive, you can be at Polridmouth, Polkerris or Par Sands, and within a half hour drive you’ll find Carlyon Bay, Charlestown, Porthpean, Pentewan or Mevagissey.
An hour’s drive and you are on the north coast of Cornwall – this is where you will find the more dramatic views, coastline and good surfing on some of the beaches.
Bit of a thrill seeker? Then Cornwall has some fantastic opportunities to get your adrenaline buzz! Hang Loose at Eden have zip wires and giant air swings, Adrenaline Quarry near Liskeard and Via Ferrata near Penryn are perfect for a day full of crazy activities, and Retallack Watersports near Newquay is the place to head for total-wipeout style aqua adventures.
There are hundreds of miles of fantastic walks in Cornwall. The South West Coastal Path alone winds 630 miles around the county, and The Saints Way is 27 miles from Fowey on the south coast, right across to Padstow on the north coast. The Fowey Hall Walk is much more manageable at 4 miles and is the best way to see Fowey from all angles! We also particularly enjoy the Gribbin Head walk, especially when the Daymark is sometimes open on Sundays in the summer. Whether you enjoy the sea, woods, rivers, moors or fields, you will not be disappointed with the walks in Cornwall.

“Super-clean, spacious and well equipped”
Has everything you need in a home away from home, including a Nespresso machine and capsules, loads of kitchen tools and equipment, and good storage in the bedrooms. Two large comfortable sofas with plenty of cushions, and everything appeared to be in good condition. Definitely would accommodate six people. It was also super-clean and smelt really fresh when we arrived, plus we appreciated the bottle of Prosecco and pint of milk popped in the fridge to greet us. The footpath to ReadyMoney Cove does NOT run from the back of the garden, rather it’s (unmarked) off a road, off the road the garden backs onto - it took me a while (and a few unlucky guesses following several other footpaths, before asking for directions) to get onto it, but once found it’s a lovely walk, and a far more gentle (if longer) way into town than the climb down from the main car park! Parking in the main Fowey car park necessitates a tough walk down into the town... and back up via steep hills and/or lots of steps. The ‘land train’ shuttle doesn’t operate in the evening. Our only real concern with the accommodation was the lack of WiFi. We could not connect at all, all week, despite repeated daily attempts. However it’s seemingly not a location issue, as other (locked) networks showed strong signals. I contacted the owner about it a few times, and she did her best to help, but the issue was unresolved - looks like a problem with the router and/or the provider - the signal simply doesn’t reach any part of this apartment. I only ever saw one of the four advised networks come up, but the connection was always ‘unavailable’. Shame, as it meant we couldn’t access the features of the Smart TV, and I used up a lot of mobile data doing research to plan day trips and make restaurant bookings etc. The accommodation is advertised as having WiFi, but consistent comments show this is NOT reliable at all; either fix it, or don’t advertise wifi as a feature.
