The Hideaway is a stylish contemporary apartment within the Blue Mill building, tucked away in a lovely quiet area of Fowey, just over a 5 minutes walk from the centre of the town. The apartment is newly refurbished and appointed to an excellent quality throughout.
Its open plan living space has a bright, open feel thanks to wall to ceiling windows (which also boast a view out to the river!). The kitchen is superbly fitted with everything you'd need to relax comfortably in a home from home, or to wine, dine and entertain if the mood takes you. The dining area comfortably seats 4.
The master bedroom is a fantastic tranquil space to relax and unwind, and the smaller bedroom is a sweet and cosy retreat.
The bathroom is a stylish and fun space allowing you to relax in the hideaway bath or snap a perfect selfie in the large mirror!
The apartment offers quiet sanctuary on the 3rd floor of Blue Mill, and is directly opposite the Caffa Mill car park, very handy in Fowey where parking is often very tricky.

SHOPPING
There are several well-loved brand stores in Fowey such as Joules, Fat Face, Mountain Warehouse and Seasalt. The real charm of the town lies in the wide range of boutique independent shops. You can spend hours browsing for clothes, homewares, crafts, glassware, art, antiques, books, seaside knick-knacks, traditional children’s toys and don't forget the old-fashioned sweet shop!
Fowey has top-quality bakeries where you can find bread, rolls, pasties, cakes and treats. There may be no large supermarket, but with two local convenience stores and a Boots, you'll find everything you need. There is a Co-op within a 10 minute drive, while Asda, Tesco and Lidl are all 7 miles or so from Fowey. All the major supermarkets will deliver online shopping as well to the apartment.
THINGS TO SEE & DO
Fowey is an estuary river town, so the obvious thing to do is spend a day messing about on the water! There are many kayak, canoe, and boat hire centres that go from both Quays. If you don’t have the strongest sea legs, then why not just take the passenger ferry over to Polruan for an afternoon! If you fancy going a little further, you continue round to Mevagissey too.
In the centre of Fowey there is a sweet little aquarium, and a local museum – both are worth a peek! Fowey has a 14th century church in the centre of the town and a 15th century fort, St. Catherine’s Castle, on the edge of the estuary.
The closest beach on the west side of town is Readymoney Cove, which has clean sands and is perfect for swimming. A swimming platform is moored off the beach during the summer months. There is also a fabulous little shop for all your seaside needs. However, no dogs are allowed between Easter and October.
There is a secret sea-pool hidden away at Whitehouse Pier which is perfect for a refreshing paddle while looking out over the estuary. It can only be found at certain times, so check those tide times!
Within a 5/10-minute drive, you can be at Polkerris (our favourite!), Polridmouth, or Par Sands, and within a half hour drive you’ll find Carlyon Bay, Charlestown, Porthpean, Pentewan or Mevagissey.
