We have been regular visitors
to Fowey over the years, whether it's the excitement of Regatta week
or a quieter break in the winter months. Our children have come to
love Fowey too and over the years have enjoyed the simple pleasures of
building sand-castles, crabbing and rock-pooling. We all love to get
on the water by kayak or boat and explore the river, spotting the
various birdlife and even occasional dolphins and seals! We also enjoy
walking around the area, exploring the beautiful Cornish coastline
(our favourites are Hall Walk and walking The Saints Way to
Polkerris). And of course, whilst in Fowey, delicious Cornish
ice-creams and cream teas are a must, along with fun evenings at Sam’s
restaurant.
My husband’s parents put River Views on the market in 2009 and we
thought this would be a great opportunity to keep it in the family (it
was built in 1892 by my husband’s great-great-grandfather). The lounge
was originally my husband’s bedroom when he was growing up. We love to
visit Fowey as a family and hope to do so for many years to come.
Fowey is a very special town, which has become
much more fashionable in recent years (with a few famous residents
now!). It has retained its original charm with colourful cottages,
narrow winding streets and abundant river life. After a great day
exploring Fowey and the surrounding area, we love to relax and watch
the boats on the river; we think River Views is the best spot in town
with activity all year long.
