Sandpiper is a beautifully designed waterside apartment in Fowey. With a river view from every window, a balcony to enjoy your morning coffee, elegant furnishings and modern comforts, Sandpiper effortlessly combines contemporary comfort with the charm of one of Cornwall's most sought after towns.
Step out on to the street from this hidden gem and you will find Fowey's independent restaurants, cafes and shops just a few steps away. Sailing boats drifting through the estuary are a common sight, and the narrow, winding streets add to the charm. For the more adventurous, grab a paddle board and pop down to water, or walk the scenic South West Coast Path which runs through Fowey. The picturesque Fowey Estuary has been both an inspiration and home to an array of authors. It is said to have formed the basis of Kenneth Grahame’s “Wind in the Willows”; and elements of Fowey Hall, now a luxury hotel, are believed to have inspired the description of “Toad Hall”.
Sandpiper can be booked alongside Oystercatcher which is right next door –
There is a small balcony with two directors chairs to sit and enjoy the view.
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.
