Tucked away in a beautiful wooded valley just 200 metres above Pont Pill, a tranquil tidal creek of the River Fowey, this charming semi-detached cottage enjoys a quiet, elevated position along a tree-lined country lane. Surrounded by unspoilt National Trust countryside, Cuckoo Tor is the perfect base for a relaxing coastal escape.
Step outside and discover a wonderful network of woodland and coastal walks, including direct access to the famous Hall Walk, where breathtaking views of the Fowey estuary await. For beach lovers, the stunning south coast beaches are only a couple of miles away.
Nearby, the picturesque village of Bodinnick is just under two miles away. From here, the car ferry takes you across the water to the vibrant harbour town of Fowey, where you’ll find charming shops, cafés, restaurants and the lovely Readymoney Cove, complete with a unique rock-carved paddling pool.
The historic fishing village of Polruan, also less than two miles away, offers a handful of local shops and two traditional quayside pubs beside the passenger ferry that crosses the river to Fowey. Both villages can be reached via spectacular creek-side walks, making every outing part of the adventure.
For those keen to explore further, the spectacular South West Coast Path and the secluded sandy coves of Lantic Bay and Lantivet Bay are just a 10-minute drive away. The world-famous Eden Project is also within easy reach, around 30 minutes by car.
Whether you’re seeking scenic walks, coastal adventures or simply a peaceful place to unwind, Cuckoo Tor is the perfect Cornish getaway.
To one side of the cottage, a paved patio garden reached by a flight of a dozen stone steps has garden furniture and views of the wooded valley. Young children and pets will require supervision in the garden. Up some steep steps, there is a new decking area to enjoy the perfect evening with a glass of gin. Garden furniture and barbecue provided.

Fowey (pronounced “Foy”) is an inviting waterside town steeped in history. It stretches for a mile or so along the banks of the River Fowey and is a magnet for sailing enthusiasts. This vibrant place is a real joy to explore; whether you want to shop, sail, go to the beach, walk the South West Coast Path or simply watch the world go by whilst enjoying a pint.
Literary fanatics will be familiar with Fowey as it is synonymous with Daphne du Maurier. The author (famous for novels including Rebecca and Jamaica Inn) moved to the town with her family aged 20 and soon began writing short stories. A few years later, her first novel was published and she continued as a successful writer inspired by Fowey and the surrounding Cornish landscape.
Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey enjoys fantastic views across the water to Polruan. It also has a sheltered, family friendly beach at Readymoney Cove from which you can walk to St Catherine’s Castle, which is the remains of a small fort built during Henry VIII’s reign to defend the harbour entrance.
There’s never a shortage of things to see and do in the town, with annual events such as the Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature in early May, and the Regatta in late August, both being colourful and lively events worth adding to your calendar.
A holiday cottage in Fowey really is a fantastic base for an escape to Cornwall, with plenty to see and do, plus a great choice of places to eat. And if you fancy venturing out of the town, why not take the ferry across the river to Bodinnick and drive on to the idyllic fishing village of Polperro, or the family and dog-friendly beaches at Talland Bay.
There is a parking space for up to two cars in a lay-by opposite the property but not guaranteed.
