The Details

Location
Where is it?
Artists House is perfectly located in the centre of Fowey, a pretty fishing village on Cornwall's south coast. The bustling port is filled to the brim with quirky shops, waterside restaurants and pubs, magnificent views and a harbour where guests can watch the fishermen pull in their daily catch.
Take a ferry trip over the water to nearby Polruan. Stroll past huddled houses as you wander through the winding streets. Strike out on the coast path to Gribbin Head, the inspiration to Daphne Du Maurier's novels. You'll pass beaches, coves, woodlands and grassland rich in wildflowers.
There are nine beaches in and around Fowey to choose from, the closest being Readymoney Cove, Whitehouse beach, Polkerris Cove and Polruan (the ferry route).

Guest Reviews
"We loved staying at Artists House it is a beautiful large spacious and well equipped house central to Fowey and within walking distance to the shops, pubs and restaurants with the added bonus of parking. Lovely views from the open plan lounge and kitchen upstairs and also the garden once you climbed the steep steps you could see across to Polruan and Boddinick. All bedrooms had a bathroom with big fluffy towels and the beds were super comfy. The only thing missing for us ladies was a hairdryer! Other than that it was a perfect place to spend time with friends and we would all love to stay again.
