Last week of school holidays - so a little quieter than peak season. Cottage in fantastic location and so much to do in Fowey that barely used the car. Tracey really helpful - especially when someone locked themselves out - though worse places to lock yourself than in Fowey. Would certainly visit again

Delightful stay with every amenity catered for cottage is well equipped with everything you could possibly need very clean and modern whilst still maintaining its quaint charm only one little downside parking! This should really be addressed in the advertising explaining it’s a good 10 min uphill walk to car park which you have to pay for separately £44 pound a week per car

Nicely maintained property with all mod cons. Fowey full of gradients which will keep you fit. Best to prepay for parking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay and it's only a short distance from the town and harbour. We chose not to cook and to eat out but if you wanted to cook then the kitchen was well stocked with every kitchen item you would need. So much thought had gone in to the cottage, being a home from home experience.
If you do decide to eat out then we highly recommend The Safe Harbour (right next door) The Galleon Inn, Haveners and The Lugger, all served great food.
All in all we had a lovely relaxed stay and would love to return in the future.

Lovely cottage and close to all amenities in Fowey. Fully equipped. Very comfortable beds and front bedrooms had a slight harbour view. Pub next door were friendly. The only negative is the outside table was not cleaned prior to our arrival. Would stay here again.

Lovely cottage in Fowey
The cottage is in a great spot EXCEPT for the buses that stop outside from the crack of dawn until late at night. It is right next door to a pub too and can be a bit noisy, especially if your children go to bed before the patrons leave for the night...
Apart from that though, we did have a lovely week at Duchy Cottage. There was everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The beds are soooo comfy!

tolles Haus!
Wir waren mit vier Erwachsenen und zwei Teenagern dort und haben uns eine Woche lang sehr wohl in diesem gemütlichen Cottage gefühlt. Das Haus ist super eingerichtet und hat wirklich alles, was man braucht! Das WLAN war sehr gut und die Küche so gut ausgestattet wie ich es selten erlebt habe. Zu Fuss ist man in 5 Minuten im Ortszentrum, wo es auch einen kleinen (!) Supermarkt gibt. Der Ort Fowey ist ein sehr idyllischer Ort mit netten kleinen Geschäften und schönen Lokalen direkt am Wasser. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war ausgesprochen nett und die Schlüsselübergabe problemlos.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in Dutchy Cottage!

We have had an excellent week away in Duchy Cottage. The benefit of the excellent location into town was a real plus point. On the whole the cottage suited us as a family with a 4 yr old and a baby with a highchair and cot provided, however being next door to a pub and outside smokers as well as frequent buses and no parking weren’t ideal, it was particularly noisy on a Friday / Saturday night, but the positives do outweigh these issues. There is a steep hill coming back from town, but it is such a short walk it never seemed a problem. We managed to find off road parking not too far away so saved on the parking charges. Fowey is a lovely town with a great atmosphere and good places to eat, we also enjoyed visits to Mevagissey & Charlestown. Thank you to the owners for providing us with useful info on the area.

Relaxation in Cornwall
The property was comfortable and well appointed. Unfortunately the peace was broken every half hour as the bus departure point is immediately outside and runs from early morning to late evening.

Top house - top location
The cottage was everything we hoped for: cosy, comfortable, well located,...
The terrace is an actual suntrap and was perfect to sit outside, even when it wasn’t very warm yet.
The kitchen is really well-equipped and had all the appliances we could hope for.
The beds were all very comfortable with quality bedding and pillows.
The cottage is located at the top of town, just a shory walk uphill. The proximity to the main car park was very handy.
On top of this all, there were muffins, fresh milk, tea, coffee and even a bottle of pro secco waiting for us when we arrived.
We loved all of it!!

Much loved cottage, tastefully set up and brilliantly equipped!
The cottage is in a reasonable position for the town. You just have a short walk up or down past the church. The rooms were all tastefully set up with interesting pictures and very comfortable beds. We loved the uneven floors and ceilings. The kitchen is fabulously equipped too and the outside area/utility is a real bonus.
We were there for Regatta week which undoubtedly made the cottage’s position a little noisier than usual but we love people watching so enjoyed the position as there was always something going on. It was just great when the Town band visited next door!
What we can’t really ignore is that opposite the cottage is the town’s main bus stop. After a while you get used to it but it can be a little noisy and smelly with buses running quite regularly. The pub next door however, other than our first night of ‘glam rock’ was surprisingly quiet.
This is a great cottage for people and families who are busy out and about during the day but want somewhere cosy in the evenings.
We had a lovely week. Thank you. 😃�👍�🏻�⛵️

Location, location, location
We had a fantastic stay at Duchy Cottage myself, husband and three children (13, 9 and 9). The cottage is so lovely and very well equipped and I love the seating area outside and the little out house was perfect for body boards and wetsuits etc, the washing machine was very useful. I have stayed in Fowey every year for many years and one thing I liked about this cottage was how easy it was to drop things off/unload in the car as there is plenty of space for turning round etc which is not always the case further down into town. It only takes five minutes at the most to walk into where the shops, restaurants etc are, perfect as you are out of it enough to have peace and quite. For us as a family the cottage worked perfectly and the bottle of prosecco and pastries where a lovely touch on arrival. See you again soon.

Lovely cottage - very well equipped
Duchy cottage is a lovely cottage which is really well equipped with everything you need. It is set up one of the many hills in Fowey which makes popping down into Fowey quite challenging for anyone with poor mobility as there is very limited parking down on the main street in Fowey. There is however a local Town bus which is very reasonable and picks up almost outside Duchy Cottages front door. The only down side to this lovely cottage is the bus stop which is right outside with buses running every day and quite frequently but this shouldn't put you off staying. It is also right next door to a lovely 'locals' pub which serves lovely food at a very reasonable price. I would definitely stay at Duchy cottage if I return to Fowey.

Characterful Cottage in the Heart of Fowey
Although not overly familiar with Cornwall, we were so pleased we chose Fowey as our base. It has a small town/village atmosphere and an easy going charm. Duchy Cottage provided us with an excellent, central location and good proximity to the local bus service. The interior design of the cottage makes the very best use of space and is very tastefully furnished throughout. The beds were particularly comfortable, maximising our sense of relaxation during our stay. We found Duchy Cottage to be an immaculate holiday property, and the level of help and service provided by the owners was first class. We loved Fowey, with its shops, restaurants and beach but also enjoyed visiting attractions such as the Monkey Sanctuary, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lanhydrock National Trust property, Flambards activity park and Maritime Museum in Falmouth. A special lunch at Rich Stein's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow was also a highlight during our holiday. We would have no hesitation in returning to Duchy Cottage or recommending it to others. Cornwall has so much to offer as a holiday destination and we fell in love with it!
