Hotel Review
Hotel Review: The Old Quay House Hotel, Cornwall
This upmarket waterside retreat - previously a seamen's mission - retains much of its original character, offering a backdrop to relax over champagne, seafood and striking river vistas in one of Cornwall's liveliest and well-heeled harbour towns. Dine over a modern British menu brimming with experimental dishes and served in style, using local ingredients.

OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
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.

THE LOOK AND FEEL
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.
