Overview

A fabulous ground floor apartment on Fowey’s sought-after Esplanade, this luxurious retreat offers far-reaching coastal views and an elegant, tastefully styled interior with designer fabrics and gorgeous furnishings throughout. Perfectly positioned in Fowey, Readymoney Cove is scenic 2-minute stroll from the front door where clear calm waters invite sea dips, and a sandy crescent makes for a lovely way to while away your days in the sunshine.

A gorgeous living room with original Victorian fireplace, Smart TV and seating is the perfect place for relaxation, with a big bay window framing views across the water to the pretty village of Polruan on the opposite bank. Sink into one of two roomy armchairs and watch sailing boats glide below or curl up on the sofa to catch up on your favourite book or movie. There’s a gorgeous kitchen with all you need to make preparing meals a pleasure including marble work tops and a Stoves range cooker. The dining area within the kitchen has sumptuous, upholstered chairs arranged around a Mid Century table so guests can keep the designated chef company while they whip up whatever’s on the menu.

The property’s two sophisticated and light-filled bedrooms are both en-suite, with plush king size beds and Egyptian cotton linen offering restful spaces to unwind. Huge windows in the sea-facing master treat guests to triple aspect river views, while the bathroom for the second bedroom boasts a walk-in shower and luxurious roll-top cast iron bath for indulgent soaks.

Life in picturesque Fowey centres around the beautiful river; a postcard-perfect backdrop for its pretty streets and sheltered coves. Peppered with boutiquey shops and historic architecture, the town has a lovely laid-back charm; and together with a host of river-based activities on offer like sailing, kayaking and boating, is the perfect holiday destination for anyone who loves being beside the water.

Lovely Plaice!
5/5

We absolutely loved this apartment. It's location is perfect, as not slap bang in the middle of everything but near enough to the centre and the small beach. Our favourite thing to do was sit in the armchairs by the window, watching the boats go by. The two bedrooms are lovely and spacious and the beds so comfortable. After our early morning swim, I'd sit outside with a cup of coffee, watching the world go by. Kay, who manages the property was great. We got there early and phoned her and she sent me a text to let me know when we could access the apartment. Had a lovely welcome pack of milk, tea, biscuits and lovely cornish butter! Would definitely stay there again. It is one of the best holiday apartments we have ever stayed in.

Lovely accommodation
4.8/5

We’ve been staying in Fowey for over a decade - it was our first time in Dolly’s. Great location with a lovely view. I personally think 4pm is a really late check in time (it’s the latest we’ve ever had and we normally always stay along the Esplanade). It’s also the first time since staying in Fowey that we’ve not even been able to park at the property a little earlier. After an 8 hour drive we just want to drop the car and head into town. Furnishing was lovely. Would happily stay again as we loved our stay.

A gem of a 'plaice'
5/5

Dolly's Plaice was a wonderful find.When we walked the few steps leading up to the house and on entering we knew we would be happy to stay here.It was very warm and inviting. We were left some some very welcome goodies and there were nice touches like the complimentary drinks tray! Very roomy throughout and exceptionally clean which is so important.However the best thing about this property was the amazing view.To have the sea so close was a great pleasure.

Dolly’s Plaice was just as we hoped, comfortable, fantastic views, clean and just a short walk from the beach and the town of Fowey. We had a wonderful stay in September, and thank you.
