'Captains Row' A Riverside House with 2 Balconies Over the River
All Rooms have River Views. Short Walk from Town Centre, Beach and Countryside
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Built in 1826, "Captains Row" was the home of Capt Bate, an old sea captain. It is right on the River Fowey. Beautifully refurbished in 2006, it has all of the amenities of a luxury holiday home that is regularly used by it’s owners. The views are stunning and there are two balconies from which to watch the bustling life of the river – from yachts to freighters, and fishing boats to traditional gig racers. This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and when you stand on a balcony looking at the view, it is easy to see why! Listen to the cry of seagulls, watch cormorants fly over the water, and maybe see a kingfisher flash past in a glitter of colour. Fowey retains its unique, unspoiled charm, with its narrow winding streets, old fashioned pubs and variety of shops. It is within easy reach of beaches, spectacular walks, the Eden Project and other places of interest. All this to make your holiday enjoyable, relaxing, interesting and exciting when you come to this oasis by the river.

There is no smoking or pets at Captains Row, and the house is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years.
Outside
Both balconies are big enough to dine on. Parking: One of the many lovely things about Fowey is that it is not really a car place – it’s a walking place – and so parking in the town centre is restricted. Caffa Mill is the nearest car park. It is about 200 yards further on down the road from Captains Row. You have to pay and display day and night . A 7 day ticket for £35 with CASH at the Du Maurier Tourist Information Centre in the centre of town (covers the whole St Austell/Newquay area). If Caffa Mill is full, there is another car park which is just past the Caffa Mill car park. In the unlikely event that both these car parks are full, there is the town’s main car park (clearly sign posted), or other parking around the town. (Full details about parking are available when booking).
Coast/Beach
Readymoney Beach is the closest to Fowey - some 10 minutes walk from the centre of town.
Coombe Hawne and Great Lantic beaches are also accessible.
The South West Coastal Path passes through Fowey and there are some lovely circular walks in the area. Details are in the bookcase at the house.
