Description from owner
Description
Bessie Ellen is a charming cottage, right in the very heart of Fowey, and makes a cosy and modern home-from-home.
The cottage has a bright and airy lounge, with a staircase up to the mezzanine.
There is a good-sized bedroom with a king-sized bed, and downstairs is the kitchen and bathroom.
Enjoy a drink sitting outside on Union Place or watch the world go by along Fore Street from the lounge windows.
House Layout
From the hallway there are two separate stairs heading down, and one set heading up.
1st flight down leads to modern kitchen with breakfast bar.
2nd flight down leads to a family bathroom.
Flight heading up leads to large bedroom (sleeps two guests) and the living room with dining space for two.
In the living room is a ladder which leads up to an open plan mezzanine (two single sofa beds available on request). The ladder is fairly steep so is not suitable for everyone to climb.
The mezzanine is used as a seating area, with comfy seats and a bright skylight. The two seats can be made into single sofa beds to sleep two guests. This is only available on request and at a rate of £100 per trip - please contact us first to discuss before booking.
The entrance is at the rear of the cottage and at the end of Union Place, a pedestrian-only area and we have a table and chairs for two.
The windows at the front of the house looks out onto Fore Street.
We try to be as pet friendly as possible. We ask you contact us first when travelling with furry friends to let us know breed and size (please note, we charge a flat rate of £30 per trip for doggies).
We have a KeySafe at the property to make sure checking in and out is easy and convenient for you.
The cottage is in the very centre of Fowey and the entrance is on a pedestrian only lane. There are two long stay car parks within a 10 minute walk - Caffa Mill is a level walk along the one way road or Main Car Park is up the hill at the top of town. The Fowey Town Bus runs from Main Car Park to the church which is at the start of the pedestrian lane.

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.
