Waterfront property in the heart of Fowey, stunning views close to town & beach

**Winner of Most Charming Waterfront Holiday Home 2024 Cornwall at LUXlife Hospitality Awards** La Folie is a spacious Victorian town house located in the heart of Fowey on the principal waterfront road a few minutes walk from town, a few minutes from the nearest beach (White House) where the toddler sea pool has been revamped and the excellent beach cafe has been added and 8 min walk to enchanting Readymoney Cove. Set on four floors with one twin room, one super king/twin, one double room and two bathrooms, the house has been refurbished with elements of the contemporary interior whilst retaining many original features such as decorative fireplaces and a pretty ironwork balcony. The beautiful contemporary kitchen/diner is fully equipped and also includes flat screen TV and Rayburn. Bifold doors open onto a sheltered patio with dining table, separate utility room with washer and dryer. Outdoor stairs lead up to extensive roof deck with sofa, sun loungers and dining table.

We are able to accommodate one extra child on a daybed in our twin bedroom number three. We are also able to configure bedroom number two as a super king bedded room. Included in your rental fee is some cleaning equipment e.g. dish washing tablets, washing up liquid, soap and some essential groceries. Hair dryer, iron and ironing board provided.

Whatever the season, the first floor living room is the perfect place to relax on the chaise longue whilst enjoying beautiful views of the harbour. Catch the last rays of the sun on the front balcony or head for the extensive decked roof terrace of wood, glass and stainless steel for sunbathing or sundowner drinks.

Fowey's lively atmosphere, interesting little shops and galleries plus a bustling quayside is sure to attract visitors of all ages and interests all year round.
