2 Bedroom Cottage in Fowey

Welcome to “Smugglers Blues” – your perfect Cornish hideaway.
Tucked away in the peaceful heart of the famously picturesque and spirited fishing village of Fowey, this lovingly restored 18th-century granite cottage is the sort of place that feels like a secret worth sharing.
Perched quietly on Rose Hill, “Smugglers Blues” offers the best of both worlds: you're just a gentle 4-5 minute stroll from the vibrant village centre with its independent shops, friendly pubs, and waterside cafés yet far enough away to enjoy the calm, laid-back atmosphere that makes a holiday feel like a true escape.
Whether you're a devoted foodie or simply enjoy a good meal in good company, Fowey is a delicious destination. The Sunday Times recently named nine of the area's eateries in their "Best Places to Eat in Cornwall" list and there are many more worth discovering, from cosy wine bars to waterside seafood spots (you’ll find all our favourites in the house guide).
Inside, the cottage comfortably sleeps up to four guests across two charming bedrooms. But it’s the outdoor spaces that often steal the show especially the private, sun-kissed courtyard garden. It's a perfect little sun trap for lazy afternoon reading or unwinding with a glass of something chilled as the day fades into dusk. Thanks to the cottage’s unique aspect, you’ll enjoy sunlight from sunrise to sunset, ideal for those who like to chase the warmth.
Fowey itself is brimming with character and choices. Browse artisan shops, local galleries, and boutique stores, or simply take in the salty sea breeze along the harbourside. Dining options run from classic Cornish pub fare to award-winning cuisine, and once night falls, the village has a gentle buzz that invites you to linger just a little longer. (Just a heads-up: the walk back up Rose Hill may feel a little steeper after a few well-deserved sundowners!)
On the water, there’s no end of ways to enjoy the river and coastline—hop on the short ferry to Polruan, charter a boat, try your hand at fishing, or join in the local tradition of crabbing off the quay. And don’t miss Readymoney Cove, just a scenic 10-minute walk away, with breathtaking views along the way that are pure Cornwall.
For those occasional rainy days, you’ll find a great selection of books, board games, and an impressively stocked DVD collection—think everything from kids’ favourites to thrillers, rom-coms, vintage classics, rugby matches, and even a few surf movie gems. (Yes, Bond is here too.)
Whether you're here for the food, the sea air, the sunsets, or just a slow, beautiful break—“Smugglers Blues” is ready to welcome you.
