Three gorgeous bedrooms, a fabulous kitchen/diner, two bathrooms and a lovely large living room are all laid out over the home's four floors, providing ample space for guest parties of six.

Very attractive property, well equipped in a lovely location. Outdoor furniture fairly basic though!

Excellent location
Large property over 4 floors. Lots of steps to the property and also inside. Upside down accommodation which gives you the best views. Good quality bedding and towels. Roof terrace. Ample kitchen appliances. Quiet location but within walking distance to loads of restaurants and nearby beach. Would recommend but not for people with disabilities or any walking problems due to the amount of stairs.

Spring in Fowey
Fowey is a beautiful Cornish Seaside Village and the property is in a great location with wonderful views. Comfortable rental but many steps to negotiate. The rear outdoor space needs some attention and the parking arrangements are a little awkward. However we enjoyed a lovely week with plenty of local walks and a nice choice of restaurants. Particularly enjoyed Appletons and North Street Kitchen.
Kay, the ppProperty Manager was extremely helpful.

Hi Lesley,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are so glad to hear you enjoyed the property in its great location with wonderful views.
Thank you for the feedback also regarding the outdoor space, although I can see you did not contact us during your stay to allow us to rectify the issue for you.
It is good to know you had a lovely week regardless enjoying the local walks and amenities.
Best wishes,

Excellent stay at La Folie
We love Fowey and being so central in La Folie was an added bonus. It's a 5 minute walk to the cafes, restaurants, bakery and coffee shops and of course the river. La Folie is a delightful house with the side door leading into the hallway, bright airy kitchen, fabulous underfloor heated bathroom with great shower and bath, main bedroom and then up the stairs to the beautiful living area with amazing views over the river to Polruan. There are two further bedrooms. Again an added bonus is the lovely slim balcony off the living area where even in November we took our hot drinks and pastries for a morning view over the river. It was a lovely place to spend our wedding anniversary.
