Must-see attractions during your stay include The Eden Project, Hangloose Adventures, Charlestown (one of the filming locations in the TV series Poldark), and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. For wayfarers, there are countless beaches and coastal walks within easy reach. For golfers, there are several good courses a short drive away at Carlyon Bay and Lanhydrock.

Enter this grand period townhouse into the large hallway where you can hang coats and hats. Through the first door on your left, you will enter the stylish lounge/kitchen/diner. The lounge area boasts stunning river views, comfortable seating, a wood burner, and a Smart TV with standard BT package; it's the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The stunning well-equipped kitchen offers a gas range-style oven and hob, dishwasher, American-style fridge/freezer, microwave, and a Delonghi coffee machine. You can also access the garden from here via the traditional stable door. Completing this delightful space is the dining area which consists of a large dining table for six; a truly delightful space to enjoy a family meal. Back out into the hallway and under the stairs is the utility cupboard with a washer/dryer. Heading upstairs, the first floor is where two of the three bedrooms are situated: a double with stunning views across the river and harbour, and a light and bright twin. Completing this floor is a shower room with a shower and WC. Heading up to the second floor via two short staircases and past the back door accessing the garden, you will find the second shower room with shower and WC, and views of Fowey. Across the landing is the last of the bedrooms: a double complete with fabulous views over the River Fowey.

Perfect location so close to all the amenities in Fowey, parking our electric car was fine; car park by the ferry had electric charge points, we always found a space despite it being in high season, we parked first & walked up with our belongings. It kept us fit walking up the slope & all the stairs in the property; 3 floors, steps up to the top gaRead morerden worth it for the fabulous view; cosy garden room is a bonus. Property is beautifully decorated & furnished throughout, everything you need. Hide

The cottage was extremely comfortable and ideally placed for discovering the shops, pubs and restaurants of Fowey. Although no spaces at the property, parking was straightforward, close by and reasonably priced for the week.

We stayed at Portingales for four weeks and were so lucky to have good weather for almost the entire period. The house is comfortable, cosy, and well equipped, and it is located in a strategic position for the parkings, and for getting out of the town, and at easy walking distance from the shops. It has great views on the fowey river. We greatly enRead morejoyed staying in this cottage and had a very pleasant holiday.
