The Moorings is a spacious detached, double-glazed home set in an elevated position above the River Fowey in the peaceful hamlet of Bodinnick. Offering far-reaching views across the water towards Fowey, this comfortable and well-located property provides an ideal base for exploring one of Cornwall’s most sought-after waterside destinations.
The house comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 1 child across a double bedroom, a twin room, and a single room, making it well-suited to families or small groups. It is also pet-friendly, welcoming up to two dogs, so your four-legged companions can enjoy the coastal paths and countryside walks right from the doorstep.
Practical features include private parking and outside space, adding to the ease and comfort of your stay. The property’s elevated setting gives it a sense of privacy and tranquillity, while still being wonderfully connected to local amenities and attractions.
Within walking distance from your accommodation at the bottom of the hill in Bodinnick is Penmarlam Quay Cafe. This fabulous little riverside cafe serves breakfast, lunch, evening meals 7 days a week and is licenced too! A lovely, peaceful place to while away a few hours by the water.
Just a short walk down the hill brings you to the Bodinnick Ferry, which runs regularly across the river into the historic harbour town of Fowey. Here you’ll find a charming selection of independent shops, welcoming pubs, and excellent restaurants set along narrow streets and the scenic waterfront.
For walkers and nature lovers, access to the renowned Fowey Hall Walk is just minutes away, offering one of the most picturesque riverside walks in Cornwall, with woodland paths, estuary views, and peaceful coves to explore.
The Moorings combines space, comfort, and an enviable location, making it a superb choice for those looking to enjoy the beauty of the Cornish coast with everything close at hand.
A small grassy garden is reached by a dozen steps leading up to one side of the house where toddlers and pets will require supervision. There is a large drop around the property as it is hillside, please do not climb on walls or railings. The garden is not enclosed. Furniture 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.
Parking is available both in the small garage and at the front of the property.
