Apartment Layout.
The front door opens into a large hallway with plenty of space. On the left is the en-suite master bedroom, to the right is the twin bedroom and family bathroom, and in the centre is the staircase leading to the living space.
The master bedroom has been tastefully decorated with a luxurious king size bed and large glass doors leading to the rear patio, which gives the bedroom lots of natural light. There is also an en-suite with a shower.
The twin room is a fun and pretty bedroom with two single wrought iron style beds. There is also a large glass door leading to the courtyard. Next to the bedroom is the family bathroom with bath and shower.
Upstairs is the open plan living space, with high ceilings and large windows, making a light and bright space to relax or entertain. The neat and functional kitchen is kitted out with everything you need to cook, and the dining space seats 4 to eat together inside.
We are located on Station Road, just along from Caffa Mill. This is a great spot for anyone wanting to launch kayaks or boats! Around Caffa Mill are a selection of shops and cafes, and the very centre of Fowey is less than a ten minute walk along the river.

Walking
There are so many hundreds of miles of walks around Fowey and Cornwall that it’s hard to know where to start…
- We personally use the iWalk Cornwall and the AllTrails apps to find great routes. Visit our social media for inspiration too, and feel free to drop us a message if you want some specific ideas. Lucy Daniels is a fantastic local walking tour guide, we highly recommend booking!
- Fowey is on the South West coastal path – 630 miles of walks that wind their way around the cliffs and countryside that make up the south west coast. Heading south from Fowey will take you past Polridmouth Cove, The Gribbin, Polkerris, Par Sands and then Carlyon Bay. Across the River Fowey and you take in Polruan, Lantic Bay, Lansallos Beach and on towards Polperro.
- Hall Walk - A 4 mile circular walk taking 2-3 hours (and two ferries!) that shows the best the Fowey estuary has to offer. Walk through Fowey and head across on the Bodinnick Ferry. Follow the water down to Pont, cross over and make for Polruan. We find the Lugger provides a great resting spot for a well-deserved drink before heading back on the passenger ferry for Fowey.
Beaches
- Readymoney Cove - As you walk through Fowey, stroll along The Esplanade and the cove is right at the end! A lovely beach shop/cafe and facilities here too. Great for swimming with a summer pontoon. Walk up the coast path to explore the old ruins of St Catherine’s Castle overlooking the cove. Dogs are banned during July and August.
- Whitehouse Pool - A tidal pool close to the centre of Fowey, great for kids to have a safe splash-about at low tide. There is also Red Rocket Café here with brilliant water views.
- Polridmouth Cove - If you stay on the coast path south of Fowey, you will then reach this secluded cove. A pretty little beach which is the inspiration of Daphne Du Maurier’s “Rebecca”. Overlooking the cove is Gribbin Head - it’s a tough walk up, but the views are worth it. The Gribbin Daymark (white and red building that looks like a lighthouse!) is owned by the National Trust and they hope to re-open the stairway to the top on a Sundays in the summer.
Days Out
- Fowey - In the centre of Fowey you will find the town aquarium and the town museum, both worth a peek. Or walk along to Readymoney Cove and head up the coast path to St Catherines Castle. There are a huge variety of shops in Fowey, from independent boutiques, well loved chains, and even an old fashioned style sweet shop! There is a shop for everyone in Fowey.
- Sailing – Fowey is a harbour town, and as such there is lots to do on the water! You can hire all sorts from Kayaks to Speedboats. If you don’t fancy playing captain, you can catch a passenger ferry to either Polruan or Mevagissey – we highly recommend the Meva ferry as it takes you out across the St Austell bay where on a lucky day you will be followed by dolphins.
Gardens - You are spoilt for choice for gardens locally! We can highly recommend the 13 Great Gardens of Cornwall, the closest being The Eden Project, Lanhydrock, Tregrehan, and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. We also really like Pine Lodge Gardens just outside St Austell
- Heritage – There is so much to learn about the history and heritage of Cornwall, and there are many amazing National Trust and English Heritage sites such as Tintagel Castle and Lanhydrock House. To learn more about the local mining history of Fowey, we really recommend a visit to Wheal Martyn Clay Museum.
- Cornish Coastal Villages – Fowey isn’t the only harbour that’s worth a visit, there are many other gems to discover along the south east coast of Cornwall… Polperro, Looe, Charlestown, and Mevagissey, are all great to head out and explore.

Samantha (AirBnB) "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 2 Station Masters. The photos don’t do it justice- it’s decorated so tastefully,with beautiful art, quality bedding, in a fantastic location. We didn’t realise it was Regatta week, and so the parking space was an added bonus at such a busy time. The location is perfect for a stroll into the town, with stunning views and everyone was so friendly. The welcome gift of Prosecco, biscuits, crisps and milk were a lovely touch after our 7 hour drive from Norfolk. Everything you could need is available in the apartment and we would all highly recommend. Very clear instructions and lots of information about the area and things to do."
