The Fowey Hotel  

The staff were very friendly, imparting good local knowledge. The hotel had a lovely charmed ambience of times ago with lots of original features throughout. The location was excellent with restaurant and hotel bar having full view of estuary.

I feel a little updating is needed in the rooms considering the price, installing ie. Flat screen TVs/cable, upto date radio alarm clocks also the decor a little 80s however the rooms were very clean.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good.I cannot comment about dinner as we ate in the town. The bedrooms are spacious and if you have a river view it is scenically very pretty.The town is only a short distance away and the location of the hotel makes the rest of Cornwall very excessible.

We last visted this hotel the day England won the rugby world cup in October 2003 and very little has changed. The only disappointment for me was the decor and furnishings in the bar and lounge. They seem very dated and worn. I feel the chairs, sofas and carpets need updating. The dining room is fine.Also I am astounded that the hotel charges £10 a day to park in high season. I have never had to pay to park at a hotel before and will not do so again!

comfortable and well run

This was our second stay at the Fowey Hotel. Once again we experienced first class service and our room was extremely clean.

The bar food is slightly expensive.

The location was brilliant

I cannot fault the Fowey Hotel. Staff were outstanding and hotel was very good value. Spectacular views from the dining area and lounges. Will definitely go back for a weekend stay. We did not eat dinner in the hotel as we found lovely restaurants in the little town so cannot comment on the dinner. However the breakfast, included in the rate, was very good.

Its a nice relaxed hotel

The furniture was a bit dated and tired

Location,breakfast

Wall paper coming away from the walls slighty old fashion room not worth the £168 I paid.

We immensely enjoyed our suite 102. The view and balcony, together with the room and facilities were unbeatable. The location of the hotel is excellent and we discovered that Fowey was the nicest town we visited in the area that offered the most attractive all round package. Ie: a nice swimming beach, castle ruins, a sheltered estuary for water sports, and of course a quaint little shopping and eating experience in the town itself. We stumbled upon The Fowey on the internet last minute and got a good rate and unexpected upgrade for a bit more. The woman on staff who suggested the upgrade (as we would have to move rooms half way through our stay in our original booking) is to be commended for solving our problem promptly and providing us with an affordable solution we were more than happy with. It was a lovely way to spend our 10th anniversary. We'll be back! Thank you

Love the location.

Hated that the room had no air conditioning - had to borrow two fans as the room was very hot. No window in the bathroom made it worse.

Everything- Great view, great staff, great food, loved the lift Even though our room was downstairs we took a ride in the beautiful lift just for the hell of it!. Also great location

While having dinner one eve - my birthday - we ordered a bottle of sparkling wine. As the restaurant mamager opened it the wine was very lively so it exploded all over the floor and the table next to us. About a quarter of a bottle lost. It would have been a nice gesture if we had been given a bit of a discount. No big deal but would have been nice.

This hotel is placed in a superb position high up over the estuary. The bedrooms are classic style, well furnished and very comfortable and the public rooms have great views. Staff are excellent as are the little touches such as fresh milk on demand from reception and cafetiere in the room. The vintage lift is an experience in itself. Don't go if you want modern with gym and pool, but for a relaxing laidback it break can't be bettered.
