My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The warm welcome with champagne in the room and the stunning view of the river from my bedroom made me feel right at home. However, I wished for a fan as the room got a bit too warm with closed windows.

The location overlooking the river was excellent, and being right in the middle of Fowey with estuary views was a highlight. However, the complimentary earplugs on the bedside tables were a bit worrisome in the quiet month of April.
