About the Hotel
Kids at heart will relish Fowey Hall Hotel, part of Luxury Family Hotels. This historic manor inspired Toad Hall in the classic novel, Wind in the Willows. At the same time, the adult in you will be seduced by the sophistication of Baroque plasterwork, French furnishings and elaborate fireplaces. Overlooking the charming port of Fowey on Englandâ€(TM)s South Cornish coast, this treasure is spectacularly located within original walled gardens. It is also a gourmetâ€(TM)s delight, focusing on fresh Cornish produce at the oak-paneled Hansons restaurant and terraced Palm Court.

Reviews for Fowey Hall Hotel
Exceptional
Having visited in previous years, the refurb is stunning and really makes this a standout place to stay when visiting Fowey. The attention to detail with the maintenance and cleanliness (having worked many years in hospitality myself) is above and beyond. I was really impressed by the high level of quality even in the most basic room. We stayed in the ‘cosy’ price range which is the starting price range. You wouldn’t think it! The room was absolutely stunning and felt well … cosy! My partner and I couldn’t believe the quality and style of the room and were amazed at the attention to detail with the bathroom. Everything felt and smelt brand new. The young man who showed us to the room and checked us in was a complete asset to the hotel and wish other hotels hired such enthusiastic and friendly people. He also checked us out and again was nothing short of exemplary in his professionalism and friendliness. Please recognise him for his outstanding service towards me and my partner during our short stay. The bar areas were sumptuous and refined, adding that touch of luxury. I don’t have children but liked the touch of the play area off the main corridor and the cookies placed out for them. Quite a few new parents were with us (some with dogs too) and I liked that the hotel catered to such families with ease. Overall this hotel will not disappoint and I would recommend as one of the top hotels to stay in Cornwall. We will be back. Thank you.

come on baby light my fire
this hotel used to be a great local haunt for us , we stayed here frequently before and during our house renovation, it used to be such a cosy atmospheric space, especially on a winters day / evening, we would often pop in for a hot chocolate to warm up after a beach walk , yesterday afternoon after a local walk with friends and children, we popped in , it was pretty chilly by late afternoon, and we were really shocked that none of the three open fires were on ! there was definitely a chill in the air , we even had to keep our thick coats on too the place seemed stark , and very unwelcoming, who doesn’t love a roaring fire on a cold winters day , especially after a long walk , the big rooms were decidedly cold, the radiator was on very low , two of our kids have woken up with colds , and we are all in agreement that we will not be returning now for dinner or snacks until summer, i mean the fires were not even prepared incase of a really cold snap , or really elderly people who feel the cold more , this is meant to be a luxury hotel! do better , it’s a pretty expensive place too if i were actually paying to stay i wouldn’t be happy , and would insist that the fires were lit

Dinner at Fowey Hall Hotel
Had a fantastic dinner in the most relaxing surroundings. The staff, Gia and Keira were very attentive and all the hotel staff were very friendly. The menu was well curated; not too big nor too small. I had fish pie which was as exceptional. The Fowey mussels were a generous starter and as fresh as can be. We will definitely go again soon.

A friendly-family welcome from a fun Hotel!
We enjoyed a very pleasant 2 night at Fowey Hall recently with our two young children. The Hotel is clearly set up to cater for families and the model seems to work well. We did read some reviews from disgruntled couples before we went who felt there were too many children and dogs…..but the hotel goes to great lengths to make it clear that this is a family focused hotel! On balance, the staff is very engaging and friendly, although at times appears to be slightly overwhelmed. For example, at check in, we were told that we would be informed when our room was ready (check in is 1500). At 1520 I re-approached reception to remind them we were still waiting for our room. Additionally at peak breakfast time (0900), the place can seem slightly behind the curve, with uncleared tables and messy floors. Finally, the baby monitors are fantastic and a great idea, however, when our first one didn’t work there was no offer from reception to come to our room and replace it, instead we were told we would have to collect the replacement ourselves. None of these were big issues but are just symptoms of an enthusiastic Team which is either understaffed or lacks the experience to deliver a polished product. Whilst our accommodation was well appointed, various aspects were clearly tired. This included the bed (which effectively woke you up every time you moved due to a defective frame) and the carpet which was stained and also hadn’t been hoovered prior to our arrival. On the plus side (and there are many examples), we would certainly return to Fowey Hall. The Den for children is fantastic, as is story time at 1700 each day with milk and cookies - and toasted marshmallows at 1645 during the weekends. The quality of the food at breakfast was also fantastic. Thank you for a great stay!

A really lovely retreat with your family
This is our second time coming back to the hotel and it was even better this time around. The hotel is that perfect mix of elegant but comfortable, with a child friendly vibe without feeling like a child focused place. We have three little kids and they had a great time and loved the games rooms and the pool and even the playground upfront. The food has also gotten better since the last time we were there which was great because it was part of our stay. That is very little I would change about the experience that it was a great three days away.

We would like to congratulate you on your wonderful staff who have been so nice to us during our two week stay. Not only are they so professional, they are also kind, interesting and have a sense of humor! Nothing seems too much trouble. Thank you.

It was absolutely fantastic – superb food, excellent service and the kids loved the crèche. In fact, it was the first time we’ve left our five-month-old with a "stranger" and they were great with her. Thanks again.
