Family Holiday

Stunning property and gardens, excellent facilities, clean and decorated to an extremely high standard. Everything you could need was provided. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely love to return next year. The 5 star review really doesn't do the property justice. An absolutely beautiful find, if you book to stay here you won't be disappointed.

Top Quality accommodation.

A place fully suited to our extended family of 9. The magnificent gardens became part of our living quarters when we opened the patio doors. Unusually high temps were encountered for UK but the large opening patio doors allowed circulation of air and an al fresco feel to the kitchen.

Fowey Watermill

The Old Watermill is a beautiful property set in a quiet location but within walking distance to Fowey. The house is well equipped for a large family and everything is very high quality. There is a wide selection of DVDs which came in handy as the weather wasn’t the best during our stay and overall we had a great time. The only downside is the road leading to the property is very narrow which made it difficult sometimes and parking in Fowey is pretty much impossible during the summer months so you need to plan your day carefully. All in all it is a beautiful property and perfect for a large family stay,
