Lovely property and very clean. Kitchen well equipped and nice little patio outside. Lounge small and small shower room downstairs which doesn't suit everyone. Stairs very steep. Beds comfy and warm. Unloading and loading is tricky - need to park on quite a busy road which is quite tight.

This was an extremely pleasant house to stay in with excellent balcony and light airy kitchen. The master bed was very comfortable but needs bedside lights! Many thanks

6.0 / 10.0

Near town but not really as described in the listing. Quite a small property with very low ceilings (not great for anyone over 6ft) and generally a little claustrophobic. Also decking a big disappointment - dirty with seagull droppings all over and a bird nest on the rooftop next door. All in all decking was basically unusable. Cannot fault the location and generally comfortable but some pretty big flaws.

10.0 / 10.0

Would highly recommend staying here. Perfect location for the centre of Fowey. Very clean and everything you would hope to have in a cottage. Enjoyable few days away.

6.0 / 10.0

Lots of pluses but the biggest disappointment is the parking is highlighted on the search but actually doesn’t have it all be it explained in description. No real pull in as suggested so you hold all traffic up while you un load and re load the car. Disposing of rubbish should not be a guest’s responsibility . Kitchen and outside space great but main bedroom needs to be updated in our view.

Lovely but nice touches lacking

Lovely but nice touches lacking

There are a huge number of pluses about this property. It’s well decorated, ( the kitchen is especially well equipped) and the shower works well. The beds and linen were of a good standard too. The location is ideal and views are spectacular. But there is a meanness of spirit here. My partner missed the fact that there are NO towels ( we had to go off and buy some) and I have never stayed anywhere before with so few nice touches. There wasn’t any milk, tea, coffee (they ask you to take coffee pods), no games or guide books or even so much as a pencil. The living room felt cold and uninviting - the floor is tiled and would benefit from a warm rug at the very least. Dogs are £50/ week but there’s no dog bowl or dog treats of any kind. What a difference it would have made to have a pint of milk, small loaf and butter or just a few biscuits. Oh yes, there’s no shampoo or soap apart from hand wash. I know much of this is actually in the small print but we were astonished by the lack of nice touches. It felt impersonal and I felt we’d paid a reasonable sum for it. But it is nice in so many ways- such a pity to spoil the ship for a ha’poth of tar.

Fab central spot

Fab central spot

We stayed as a couple with a 3 yr old and had a fab stay. Everything was great, its really central for visiting the town and beach. It was really clean, full of everything we needed and just generally a lovely place to stay. Just a note, it states three bedrooms but you have to walk through the room with the day bed to access the twin room. It didn't bother us at all as we didnt need to sleep in it but worth noting. The property manager was really responsive and helpful even when contacting over the Christmas and New Year period. Would defo stay again

Great short break

Great short break

We enjoyed staying here. A short walk from the town centre, so very convenient. Clean and tidy. Just a couple of minor things - perhaps could do with a rug in the living room to give it a bit more of a cosier feeling and one of the bedrooms you have to walk through to get to the twin - however not a problem as there weren’t enough of us to need the third room and probably mentioned in description but just didn’t pick it up. And an extra pair of keys would be good as we didn’t always go out at the same time. Overall we were pleased and enjoyed our stay..

Great rental, easily found and accessed. Very comfortable beds , nice linen. Beautiful kitchen, not that we used anything but the kettle, but seemed very well equipped.Fabulous shower. Very steep steps to bedrooms but soon got used to them . The outside area is very pretty and not overlooked . We didn’t get to use it as the weather was atrocious for our weeks stay . The house coudnt be in a better position to walk into the centre. Be prepared for lots of steep roads / steps.

Another amazing stay

We have stayed here 3 times now and have loved every stay. The cottage is everything you expect from a Cornish cottage with a lovely large kitchen and external decking area. The only down side is sadly we won't be staying again as we are moving to Lostwithiel shortly. Not such a downside... 😀

Lostwithiel Street cottage

Great accommodation, superb kitchen/shower room. Lying in bed with a mug of tea watching the boats on the river and the sun rise up from the East was superb. Very quiet location, though minimal sound insulation for the adjoining property. Highly recommended and a stones throw from the bars and restaurants. We paid for a week long parking ticket (paid on line when we arrived) so that solved a lot of hassle.

Cosy and convenient

Cosy and convenient

This is a cosy, traditional cottage that is very convenient for the town and all its amenities. Communication and check in instructions were excellent and we had no problems. The property benefits from a good sized, modern and well equipped kitchen with seating for up to 6 people. There is a modern shower room and separate WC on the ground floor adjacent to the kitchen. The rest of the property is more traditional with a small lounge and two bedrooms upstairs with a further bed on the landing. There’s plenty of storage and hangars for clothes. Overall, the cottage was clean, warm and comfortable and in a great location. I would make a couple of minor suggestions. Although the cottage is advertised as hosting up to 5 people, there is only seating for 4 in the lounge. The armchair covers could also do with a clean. Another minor point is the starfish door handle on the stair door which we all managed to painfully catch our arms on at some point (sic!). In summary a nice, well equipped cottage in a great location. We would return

Longsteps is a lovely little cottage in a great location. Fowey has an excellent selection of places to eat and drink and some really nice options for short and medium length walks. There's a handy car park up the hill close to the house and local shops are easy walking distance. The house is well equipped for self catering. Overall, a lovely experience.

Caught the good weather in May.

Nice rental which has obviously had money spent on it. Loved the modern kitchen and the balcony which gave us a good view of the chiming church. Close to the town facilities which was a bonus, car was in the main car park but was an almost vertical climb to reach - I now feel like a mountain goat. Things that could improve the experience; *Working locks on the toilet and shower rooms - took wife and two daughters so was a little dicey. *After a 6 hour road trip and arriving Sunday afternoon, all of us needed a shower but there were no towels at all, had to hire them for £25 next day - very disappointing approach. *Parasol would have been good for outside table as sun was very hot for first 3 days. *When using hob the cooker tipped out, had to reset the Part Leakage Circuit

Beautiful little cottage with all essentials

Beautiful little cottage with all essentials

We had a great holiday in longsteps. The cottage has everything you need and has great character. It's in a perfect place and the town of Fowey is magical. Not a criticism but just to note the church clock chimes every fifteen minutes and dongs the hours on the hour all night amd the cottage is right next to the church so it takes you a couple of days to get used to this through the night! The bedrooms could do with some blackout curtains as the light wakes you early. Not an issue though if you put something over the blinds..... We would definitely return. Thank you for a great holiday. Matthew & Marie

Great holiday in a beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. Will be back.
