St Monica’s, an appealing converted chapel located in Fowey, Cornwall, offers a unique holiday experience for up to six guests. This property, situated in the picturesque South West of England, is pet-friendly and conveniently located near local pubs and the stunning coastline. The building, originally constructed for Fowey's Roman Catholic community, has been transformed into a comfortable residential space, maintaining its historical charm while providing modern amenities.
The accommodation features a reversed layout, with the living area located on the first floor to maximize the breathtaking views of the estuary.

Guests at St Monica’s can enjoy easy access to local attractions, including the Caffa Mill car and dinghy park, the Bodinnick Ferry landing slip, and a river access point for boat launching, all within a short walk. The property is also conveniently located just a 10-minute stroll from the town center, with the added benefit of being reachable via a quieter back road that circumvents the busy traffic of the town. This makes it an ideal base for exploring Fowey and its surrounding areas.
While St Monica’s may no longer serve as a place of worship, the stunning views from the large arched window on the first floor offer a serene glimpse into the vibrant river life, including the daily ferry trips across the river to Bodinnick. With its rich heritage and inviting atmosphere, this converted chapel is a perfect retreat for families seeking a memorable holiday in Fowey, where the only thing left to wish for is delightful sunny weather.
