Incredible views and luxurious accommodation
Pros:

Absolutely fantastic location, right on the river. Our room was recently renovated and super plush. It was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. We had a river view and it was worth paying extra for it as it was stunning. It was a real drag to leave the place. Breakfast was delicious and worth adding on to our stay. I would 100% book the same room again.

Cons:

As it’s attached to a restaurant and the reception wasn’t always open it wasn’t clear who to talk to with questions etc. There were a lot of different staff working during our stay and no one greeted us as we came and went so we didn’t really make a connection with the place. Breakfast was delicious but not consistent - make sure you ask for toast and OJ if you’re not offered any.

Pros:

Location is amazing and we upgraded as was a great view

Cons:

The only negative was we were not told the front door was locked at night. We came back at 11.30 it's was pouring with rain. We tried ringing the bell but no answer and was faulty so started to bang on the door but the night porter was out the back with music on. When he finally heard he seemed quite annoyed we hadn't rung the bell (which we had) until he tried it himself. Other than that an enjoyable stay

Lovely boutique Fowey hotel
Pros:

Lovely boutique hotel In centre of Fowey on mainstreet and river ar rear. Very welcoming manager. Ground floor mainly comprises recently renovated bar , restaurant and outside terrace overlooking river. Our bedroom on 1st floor was very pleasant and well appointed with tea/ coffee making facilities. The en-suite was equipped with high quality toiletries and dressing gowns.The restaurant was closed in the evening ( it was. Monday off season) but the breakfast was delicious with a wide range of options using excellent local products. Would definitely use again .

Cons:

The steps to the upper floors are quite steep and may be a problem for those with mobility issues.

Pros:

Great location. Super large and comfy bed - room 2.. Spacious room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Marco and the chef went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay.

Cons:

Room would benefit from a small fridge. There was no blind at one of the windows, making it quite light from a street light.

Friendly, small hotel, ideal for a romantic break.
Pros:

Small, friendly hotel, nice and clean, good restaurant serving excellent food and wine. Breakfast was great and served by charming staff. An ideal spot for a romantic break in the spring or autumn. Fowey was a good base from which to explore Cornwall.
