My husband Neal and I live in Warwickshire
with our two children. I have been going to Fowey since before we were
even dating; we used to work together and he sold me a holiday in
River Views! (which his parents then owned).
We have been regular visitors
to Fowey over the years, whether it's the excitement of Regatta week
or a quieter break in the winter months. Our children have come to
love Fowey too and over the years have enjoyed the simple pleasures of
building sand-castles, crabbing and rock-pooling. We all love to get
on the water by kayak or boat and explore the river, spotting the
various birdlife and even occasional dolphins and seals! We also enjoy
walking around the area, exploring the beautiful Cornish coastline
(our favourites are Hall Walk and walking The Saints Way to
Polkerris). And of course, whilst in Fowey, delicious Cornish
ice-creams and cream teas are a must, along with fun evenings at Sam’s
restaurant.
My husband’s parents put River Views on the market in
2009 and we thought this would be a great opportunity to keep it in
the family (it was built in 1892 by my husband’s
great-great-grandfather). The lounge was originally my husband’s
bedroom when he was growing up. We love to visit Fowey as a family and
hope to do so for many years to come.
Fowey is a very special town,
which has become much more fashionable in recent years (with a few
famous residents now!). It has retained its original charm with
colourful cottages, narrow winding streets and abundant river life. After a
great day exploring Fowey and the surrounding area, we love to relax
and watch the boats on the river; we think River Views is the best
spot in town with activity all year long.
