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
Terrible food, unclean, overpriced, bad service
Really unpleasant experience. Food was really bad quality, got food poisoning on trip. facilities were unclean - our room wasn’t clean, pool wasn’t clean, kids den wasn’t clean. Really overpriced for our experience and wouldn’t visit again.

Offered more than they could deliver.....
I booked a one night stay in half term with my husband and two boys, 9 & 11 years. We opted for B&B with dinner in the hotel. It is not cheap at nearly £400 per night. We were booked into a non-sea view family room, in the new build. Very nice room when the curtains were closed, spacious kids room, clean well appointed bathroom (no water pressure) and comfortable. Pool is small, only 1.1m deep so no good for the kids to jump in, but very nice for a quick swim. Some underwater lighting would have made it look more luxurious. Hot tub lovely and warm. We were booked in for dinner at 6pm. We were served food at just after 8pm! My husband and I sat on our own whilst the kids played chess - they were starving, missed the film at the cinema, spent no time with us and to be honest, were so past it by 8:20pm that they couldn't really eat. Hotel staff just kept saying 'we're busy!'. As a consequence, the evening was ruined. We had no chance to sit and have a drink in the lounge or to enjoy the evening at all. Turned out they were a chef down, but were not honest or up front. Dinner was reimbursed but this was not enough to make up for a totally ruined evening. Breakfast was a 40 minute wait for a poached egg..... need i say more. We were not the only family sitting with starving children waiting for food. It was a farce. Sadly, I will not be returning and will not be able to recommend this. Honesty goes along way, and the staff were not honest. They took our money and did not deliver luxury. I am disappointed, to say the least.

Nice property great views m!!
Booked the Lantic Bay Suite, fantastic view over the whole of Fowey and water / ocean. Staff were attentive and helpful and the breakfast was very good. The only concern we had was that there was some mould in the bathroom that needs to be cleaned, other than that the standard of the room cleaning was fair. It’s great location and we would stay again and recommend the property.

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

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.
