The handy breakfast bar is a great spot for sharing a fantastic meal which you can rustle up in the stylishly designed and fully equipped kitchen. This cosy accommodation also features a light and welcoming bedroom with a comfortable super-king-size bed, which can be made up as a pair of twin beds on prior request. There’s also an invigorating shower room to help you start the day.

I have rented many, many homes and have never given a public review, as I was taught not to say anything, if you dont have nice things to say. The retreat was by far the cleanest, most well equipped, functional and serene home we have stayed in. It was not , tired looking as most of the places, it was well kept. The bed and sheets extremely comforRead moretable. The walk up from town is steep, but that was mentioned and you just have to be prepared for that. We ended up only staying two nites as our flight was cancelled, we could have stayed for two weeks! Fowey and surrounding towns have so much to offer. Hide

The Retreat is a perfect place for couples. It's a 10 minute walk downhill into town and a little longer on the way back. It is spotlessly clean, well equipped and has beautiful countryside views.

A lovely five night stay at this amazing property, just a short walk into the town. Cliff and Lin have thought of everything. The welcome goodies on arrival were exceptional and not expected, the view was very good, shower excellent and it was a bonus to have a super king bed which was very comfortable.

This is an ideal place for a trip to Fowey. Clean, well equipped and comfortable. It is in a quiet location with a parking space. It is only a short walk down the hill to the town, the Polruan ferry and the coastal path. A great place to stay.
