Moonrakers in Fowey is highly praised for its stunning views, comfortable accommodation, and prime location. Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome hamper, though it's noted that such gifts are not guaranteed. The property's cleanliness and facilities generally meet expectations, with the added bonus of a parking space. Access involves steps, which some find challenging but worthwhile for the view.
The property is consistently described as clean upon arrival, with only one mention of a dated but well-maintained interior. The high standard of cleanliness contributes positively to guests' experiences.
The location is frequently highlighted as fantastic, with easy access to local amenities and stunning views. The provision of a parking space is particularly appreciated, although the steps to the property are noted.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of a cosy atmosphere and a comfortable bed. However, limited headroom in the bathroom and the effort required to navigate the steps are noted as minor discomforts.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped. Maintenance issues, such as outdoor lights not working, were promptly addressed. The lack of WiFi and the mention of dated decor slightly affect the score.
While guests express gratitude for the lovely welcome hamper, as gifts like these are not consistently mentioned across the reviews, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness. It is important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Clean, comfortable, lots of hot water, beautiful views, once you remember the 66 steps it really is lovely

The accommodation is perfectly located being around a 10 minute stroll from the town and also easy to get onto the coastal path; it had the advantage of great views, a decent sized parking space and was quiet. The property was spotlessly clean when we arrived and it was nice that some washing up liquid/cloths had been provided given there is no dishwasher. As other reviewers have said, the property could do with a bit of updating (namely the kitchen and bathroom). However, it was more than functional for our stay and the kitchen had sufficient crockery, cutlery and everything needed if you felt inclined to cook for yourself. The shower in the bathroom was excellent - instant hot water and powerful. There were a few minor negatives from our perspective: 1) No bathroom towels provided which is an inconvenience when travelling in a two seater car with limited boot space. 2) The arrival time of 4pm and departure time of 9am seem very mean-spirited! I know the cleaner needs time to do the amazing job she does but these timings are a throwback to Covid days and most have now reverted to a 3pm arrival/10am departure time. 3) Very, very small sofa in the living area - it was just about big enough for one person to sit on comfortably and watch TV but two was a bit squashed (and we are by no means large people, we just like to put our feet up and get comfy). A larger sofa or two smaller sofas would have been much more comfy for watching TV. 4) Bring a small torch - as is noted in the description there are quite a lot of steps to get to the property and once you are at the back of the main house area it is VERY dark with no lighting. The steps are dark wood so difficult to see at night. Although there is a light over the main entrance door and at the top of the wooden steps they are on timers and have gone off by the time you get back after eating out. Overall we had a great stay and the property was ideal for a week away - a few minor improvements would make it perfect.

Comfortable flat with unbeatable view. Be prepared for a 14-metre climb to the door.
