Contemporary and stylish, this glass-fronted barn conversion enjoys an idyllic setting above South Cornwall’s shores. Sleeping eight guests and welcoming dogs, it's home to sparkling views over St Austell Bay. Catch the sunrise from the first floor living area or take to the private outdoor pool for an early morning dip.
An ode to its former life as a countryside barn, every room sits beneath timber beams and is finished in organic neutrals and linens. An upside-down design allows Daymarker to make the most of sprawling views from the first floor. The three downstairs bedrooms feel welcoming and serene, with each benefitting from their own en-suites. Start every day with a waterfall shower before joining the group for breakfast upstairs.
The open plan kitchen, living and dining area makes a heavenly social space for everyone to gather together. Perfect for groups, there’s a second living space, finished in coastal blues and whites, that calls for cosy movie nights after days by the pool. Next door, the fourth bedroom awaits under wood-clad ceilings with traditional interiors creating a cosy haven for two.
Enjoying both ocean and countryside views, the first floor balcony provides an idyllic spot for afternoon drinks and large sliding doors make it easy to welcome the outdoors through the seasons. What’s more, the grassy garden and heated swimming pool mean you can enjoy quality time as a family, no matter the weather. Opt for days spent away from the crowds in this little slice of paradise, or head out to discover the joys of South Cornwall just moments away.
The picturesque town of Fowey awaits after a short drive, while the sandy shores of Polkerris can be enjoyed within minutes. With four-legged friends in tow, climb the coast path from Coombe Haven and watch the yachts pass on the waters below, before stopping for a "shipwreck" ice cream from Readymoney Beach Café. For something more adventurous, cycle the trails at Woody's Bike Park (on-site) or head out onto the open water with Fowey River Hire for kayaking and sea safaris.
A low occupancy rate may be available for smaller groups out of season. Please contact our team for further information.

Seating eight guests, the dining table makes the most of the room’s views through large sliding doors. In the winter months, enjoy cups of tea and toast as the sun rises and douses the room in a golden glow.

Local Area
Fowey
Food and drink
With many waterfront restaurants, cafés and traditional pubs to choose from, Fowey is a well-established foodie location in Cornwall. From authentic Spanish tapas to beautifully prepared homemade pizzas, sister restaurants Pintxo and Bufala should always be on your must-visit list when dining nearby. Make a reservation at The King of Prussia for elevated seafood suppers and excellent service, or enjoy al fresco lunches at North Street Kitchen. When beach picnics beckon, head to Quay Bakery and Kittow’s Deli for incredible fresh sourdough, local cheeses and traditional Cornish pasties. Or if you’re just after somewhere for breakfast, enjoy oat flat whites and avocado toast from Brown Sugar Café.
Outdoor pursuits
Whether it's a coastal walk, forest bike rides or rounds of golf, there’s plenty to keep the whole family busy nearby. From the centre of Fowey, wander along the esplanade to discover some of the best views over the river, before climbing the headland to the ancient St Catherine’s Castle. From here, you can continue the route over the hills to Gribbin Head or join the Hall Walk from the harbour to explore Polruan across the water. If you’re looking for something a little more energetic, cycle the many trails that await at Woody's Bike Park or head to Cardinham Woods for a leisurely route beneath the trees. Or drive 20 minutes to enjoy an afternoon on the 18-hole green at Lanhydrock Golf Club.
Beaches and watersports
Tucked away on the calmer south coast, Fowey sits amongst some of the best beaches and coves in Cornwall. When the sun is shining, head to Readymoney Cove for an afternoon of sandcastle building, before dipping tiny toes in the gentle waves. Closeby, Fowey River Hire offer guided kayaking tours, or choose something a bit more fast-paced with a sea safari and keep your eyes peeled for sunbathing seals. A little further afield is Carlyon Bay; known for its long stretch of golden sand and turquoise waters, it’s another great option for families. Best for swimming, kayaking and paddle-boarding, Polkerris is an all-round favourite amongst locals and is easily accessible. For those looking for a sandy walk with four-legged friends, head to nearby Par Sands which welcomes dogs year-round.
Activities for children
Nearby, the Eden Project promises to keep everyone entertained no matter the weather. From exploring the botanical biomes to discovering their year-round calendar of events, there’s always something new to enjoy during a visit. For little imaginations, wander around Fowey’s historic aquarium which is home to a whole array of local sealife. Be sure to visit around midday to watch the octopus have his lunch, before picking up lines and bait to enjoy an afternoon of crabbing on the Quay. Not far away is Charlestown’s Shipwreck Museum, a one-of-a-kind attraction full of treasure and tales of Cornwall’s perilous shores.
Festivals and events
For a week every summer, the streets and waters of Fowey fizz with live music, carnival processions and yacht racing with its annual town regatta. For an authentic Cornish experience, catch the much-loved Fowey Town Band carrying the giant pasty through town to kick off the week of celebrations. For something a little more laid back, the town hosts their literary festival every May in honour of Daphne Du Maurier, who used to live just across the water. Come winter, visit at Christmas time for their food and drink festival which takes place on the twinkling harbourfront.

This was our first time using Perfect Stays and we weren't disappointed. Everyone was helpful and knowledgeable about the properties from the first contact to the last. We stayed at Daymarker near Fowey. Beautiful Property,
very comfortable and well equipped with fabulous views from upstairs towards the coast. We appreciated the welcome hamper which was full of local goodies. The location was great and it was also possible to walk in the fields surrounding the property. We had a lovely relaxing week exploring the area and walking the coast path but it was always good to return to Daymarker and to make use of the outdoor pool, even on the wettest day!
Just had the most relaxing and wonderful time at the beautiful Daymarker. What an absolute treat, with no problems, and just a great sense of comfort and luxury. I would thoroughly recommend this fabulous place, what a brilliant memory maker.
”A lovely property, very well laid out, equipped and furnished. Amazing views and wonderful to have the swimming pool. Daymarker has everything that you need.
