Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often highlight the hotel's ideal location, providing convenient access to the town center, and appreciate the bonus of good on-site parking in Fowey. The spacious rooms and bathrooms are frequently mentioned, alongside the wonderful breakfast selection. While some have noted the presence of a pub on the ground floor initially created a certain impression, they found it to be only superficial, as the rooms offer great views and are well-maintained.

clean room tasty breakfast onsite parking small room pub noise broken dispenser

My room was clean! The breakfast was tasty and full of choices. Staffs were so friendly and helpful with directions. The onsite parking really makes it easier.

The room felt small, I wish it's larger. There was a bit of noise coming from the pub downstairs. I also noticed that one of the soap dispensers in the bathroom, it wasn't working, gosh.
