Situated on the south Cornish coast, in the heart of Fowey's bustling Fore Street, The Old Quay House provides a prime waterside retreat on the Fowey estuary. Take a foot-ferry from the harbour across the river to the small fishing village of Polruan, or wander the narrow streets full of galleries, crafts, cafes and local artisan producers.
By car: Fowey is around 5 hours from London, 3 hours from Bristol and 1 hour 30 mins from Exeter. The hotel can supply you with a parking permit for the Harbour Commissioners Car Park (about 800 yards from the hotel). Permit cost is included in the room rate.
By train: London Paddington to Par takes around 4 hours. The station is an 11-minute drive from the hotel. Par is also serviced by Great Western Railways trains from Penzance (1 hr), Plymouth (50 mins), and Exeter St David's (1 hr 55 mins). Book trains to Par.
Built in 1889, this boutique townhouse was originally a seamen's mission and has been subtly redesigned to create a homely and elegant ambience that ties in with the surrounding seascape. Think contemporary styling in natural materials, including oak wood, with a tonal palette of grey and pale blue hues juxtaposed with traditional architecture.
The friendly and enthusiastic teamwork ensures your stay is enjoyable within the hotel's restaurant, terrace, and lobby-bar area. Kick back on one of the fireside sofas, designed for relaxation, before sipping cocktails on the terrace leading to the water's edge, with staggering views towards the wooded banks of Pont Pill Creek and out to sea.
