Awarded LUXLife 'Must Visit Award Cornwall' 2026 and 'Most Charming Waterfront Holiday Home Cornwall' 2024 & 2025

With extraordinary views across the estuary, a suntrap roof terrace from which to enjoy them and a chic yet thoroughly homely atmosphere, La Folie more than delivers on luxury and escapism. Step inside and discover a light and bright, beautifully furnished interior with all the home comforts you could ask for.

Three gorgeous bedrooms, a fabulous kitchen/diner, two bathrooms and a lovely large living room are all laid out over the home’s four floors, providing ample space for guest parties of six. Bifold doors from the kitchen/diner lead out to a walled courtyard that has an outdoor furniture set and from here, you can walk up to the roof terrace to unwind in the sunshine and enjoy those incredible sea and estuary views.

Fowey is a dream destination on Cornwall’s south coast. Famed for its connection to Daphne du Maurier and its featuring in some of her best-known novels, this exceptionally pretty maritime town with its beautiful beaches and unique atmosphere is the perfect place for relaxing coastal breaks. Just 50 yards from La Folie is Whitehouse Beach - a tidal beach with its newly refurbished 1920's children's sea pool (built on the rocks alongside the beach and next to the Polruan Ferry slip), which is a lovely spot for a paddle or a swim. The beach is also a good place to launch a kayak or SUP (It is close to the harbour and its traffic however so may not be suitable for beginners).

Large property over 4 floors. Lots of steps to the property and also inside. Upside down accommodation which gives you the best views. Good quality bedding and towels. Roof terrace. Ample kitchen appliances. Quiet location but within walking distance to loads of restaurants and nearby beach. Would recommend but not for people with disabilities or any walking problems due to the amount of stairs.

We love Fowey and being so central in La Folie was an added bonus. It's a 5 minute walk to the cafes, restaurants, bakery and coffee shops and of course the river. La Folie is a delightful house with the side door leading into the hallway, bright airy kitchen, fabulous underfloor heated bathroom with great shower and bath, main bedroom and then up the stairs to the beautiful living area with amazing views over the river to Polruan. There are two further bedrooms. Again an added bonus is the lovely slim balcony off the living area where even in November we took our hot drinks and pastries for a morning view over the river. It was a lovely place to spend our wedding anniversary.

Fowey is a beautiful Cornish Seaside Village and the property is in a great location with wonderful views. Comfortable rental but many steps to negotiate. The rear outdoor space needs some attention and the parking arrangements are a little awkward. However we enjoyed a lovely week with plenty of local walks and a nice choice of restaurants. Particularly enjoyed Appletons and North Street Kitchen.
Kay, the ppProperty Manager was extremely helpful.
