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
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.

Great experience
An excellent night stop. On arrival we were greeted by a very pleasant polite and helpful young man who showed us to our room. The room was outstanding, all amenities were clean and tidy and a very comfortable bed. Only one negative point was the temperature of the room being way too high to be comfortable, the fan did not respond to inputs on the control panel. Reverted to having one of the French doors open to allow cool air in. The ground floor is a maze of very well appointed rooms with sofas, chairs and tables around open log fires, on a wet and windy Cornish night it was a treat to see. Lovely little bar area again with seating and tables. All rooms had various board games available. All in all a lovely way to celebrate my wife’s birthday

Overall a very positive experience
Generally a very good experience. Comfortable large room with fridge, coffee maker, kettle, ironing board and iron. Staff very helpful and friendly. We had a lovely view over estuary and sea. We have the following observation that we feel might improve the experience. We think the rooms would benefit from a hotel information folder. We had a ‘false alarm’ fire alarm at 04.30 on one evening which was signalled by a raucous sound on the room phone. With no explanation from staff at check in, this was very startling and unexpected. We guessed it was the fire alarm when looking in the corridor the fire doors had closed. However this was only confirmed by a trip to reception and confirmation from the night staff. No one rang the room to apologise. An information folder which we could have read might have prepared us for this experience. Also additional information on hotel history, operation of the TV, connecting to the internet etc could be added as well.

Relaxing Dog Friendly break
Finally a dog friendly hotel that is actually dog friendly , Beautiful place and with friendly and welcoming staff , Tracey was so welcoming to us and our cockapoo always welcomed by our first name made us feel more than just customers, really couldn’t fault our stay, food really nice from breakfast to diner and sandwiches all made fresh and nothing seemed to much trouble , 3 log fires so was nice just to sit there and relax, didn’t want to leave will be coming back 100% . I can’t remember all the staff names but Tracy, George and all the others made our stay special. Thank you

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.
