Welcome to Smugglers Blues, your perfect Cornish hideaway.
Tucked away in the peaceful heart of Fowey, widely regarded as one of Cornwall’s most picturesque and vibrant waterside towns, this lovingly restored 18th-century granite cottage is the kind of place that feels like a secret worth sharing.
Perched quietly on Rose Hill, Smugglers Blues offers the best of both worlds: just a gentle 4–5 minute stroll brings you to the lively harbour, independent shops, waterside cafés and welcoming pubs, yet you’re far enough away to enjoy the calm, laid-back atmosphere that makes a holiday feel like a true escape.
Fowey is a dream destination for food lovers. From cosy wine bars and waterside seafood spots to exceptional dining and Michelin-starred restaurants nearby, the area has earned national recognition; with The Sunday Times recently naming several local favourites among the best places to eat in Cornwall. Whether it’s a long, leisurely lunch or an evening overlooking the estuary, this is coastal dining at its finest.
Inside, the cottage is warm, welcoming and thoughtfully designed for comfort, sleeping up to four guests across two charming bedrooms. It’s a true home-from-home, a place to unwind, slow down, and settle into the rhythm of coastal life.
One of the cottage’s most special features is the private, sun-kissed courtyard garden, a rare luxury in Fowey. Thanks to its unique aspect, it enjoys sunlight from sunrise through to sunset, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons with a book, or relaxed evenings with a glass of something chilled as the day fades into dusk.
Life on the water is at the heart of Fowey, with endless ways to explore at your own pace. Whether it’s sailing, kayaking, or paddleboarding along the estuary, hopping on the short ferry to Polruan, or venturing further afield towards Mevagissey, there’s something for everyone. You can even experience the coastline from a different perspective with an exhilarating sea safari on a high-powered RIB, or simply enjoy watching the ever-changing activity on the water from the harbour.
A picturesque 10-minute walk leads you to Readymoney Cove; a sheltered, secluded beach that feels like a hidden gem. Framed by lush greenery and gently lapping waters, it’s the perfect spot for a swim, a picnic, or simply unwinding by the sea. Overlooking the cove is the historic St Catherine's Castle, adding a sense of history and character to the landscape.
From here, the views are truly spectacular, sweeping across the River Fowey as it opens out into the sea, and stretching beyond to the vast Atlantic. Whether you’re watching boats drift by, catching the changing light at sunset, or simply taking a quiet moment to soak it all in, it’s a setting that perfectly captures the magic of Cornwall at its very best.
Step outside and Fowey itself is full of character and charm. Wander artisan shops, browse galleries and boutiques, or simply soak up the sea air along the harbour. Dining ranges from traditional Cornish pub fare to award-winning cuisine, and in the evenings, the village has a gentle, inviting buzz that makes it hard not to linger just a little longer. (A small note: the walk back up Rose Hill is a little steep, though most guests find it well worth it.)
For quieter moments or the occasional rainy day, the cottage is well stocked with books, board games, and an extensive DVD collection, from family favourites to classic films (yes, Bond is here too).
Whether you’re here for exceptional food, coastal walks, sea air, or simply a slower pace of life, Smugglers Blues offers a warm, welcoming base in one of Cornwall’s most special locations.
It’s no surprise guests return time and time again.
