What guests think

At Harbour Hotel Fowey, travellers consistently praise the scenic harbour views, walkable location, friendly staff, and stylish, comfortable rooms, with many also enjoying good quality dining and relaxing bar spaces overlooking the water.

Common drawbacks are very limited on-site parking that must be reserved and often carries a fee. Several guests mention paying extra for hot breakfast and occasional slow breakfast service. Some rooms can feel warm due to lack of air conditioning, and a few note minor housekeeping lapses or noise. Ideal for a calm boutique stay in a small coastal town.

Great location and views. Although, rooms were very warm and mine was on floor 1 and road level, so windows couldn’t really be left open at night. Booking for parking and restaurant is a must, as nothing was available on the day of arrival.

Stay at this hotel. Firstly, a credit to the staff, all of whom were fantastically polite and personable, providing simply great service. The vintage lift was a unique joy with the communal areas continuing the slightly nostalgic theme. The bar and dining vibe was relaxed, quiet and combined with great food and attentive staff made for a relaxed breakfast, evening drinks and dinner. Incidentally, dining provides for great views over the harbour. Our room had the most complete sea vista, was incredibly clean with a very comfy bed and was very well stocked with tea and Nespresso coffee. In contrast to other large hotels locally the Harbour provided for a quiet, relaxing stay and a memorable visit to Fowey. Thank you to all at the hotel.

Stayed for two nights midweek. Our room was well furnished and very clean. Well stocked hospitality tray with an essential coffee machine and a very welcome complimentary gin on arrival. Beautiful view across the river to Polruan. Excellent continental breakfast. Having just experienced Japanese service and hospitality, we were happy to find the staff at the Harbour Hotel can match this! Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

It was great having a designated parking space at the hotel in a town with limited parking. Unlimited choice of food for breakfast plus fabulous views from the dining room. Easily walkable into town. Perfect position for a Fowey holiday. The only minor downside was that the room window did not open very far, the room was warm and airless and the duvet was very thick and hot, therefore we did not sleep very well. It would have been perfect on a cold winter’s night, but not ideal during the very mild nights when we were there.

This was a last minute choice and overall it was a good choice. The location is fabulous although there is limited parking due to its incredible location. The bedroom was very comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated in keeping with the hotels overall theme and estuary location. My wife and I had breakfast, lunch and dinner during our two day stay. The choice was good and the meals including breakfast were to a very good standard. My only gripe would be the attentiveness of the staff. All the staff were pleasant and knew their job. It just felt the system they have employed is slow, e.g ordering drinks at lunch. The drinks took too long to arrive and eventually came with our meal. This was disappointing. This is our only gripe. Other than that, we loved it.

Great location for Fowey. close to town, beach, ferry and walks. Quality hotel, bedroom well appointed, great mattress, pillows. Very helpful staff. Continental breakfast okay but i felt it wrong that hot food was an extra cost bearing in mind the cost of rooms. Even a cappuccino was an extra at breakfast. Really?? Issues, not enough parking at hotel, lift is old and was out of order one day, not an issue for us but elderly clientele could have issues. Lovely interior but exterior due a paint job but don't let put you off.

The position and view from the hotel is wonderful. It is withing essy walking distance of hhe quay, pubs and amenities. It is a slight walk uphill back up the hotel, so might no be suitable for everyone Breakfasts are very good, bit it was not made clear on booking that it is Continental Breakfast, and not English Breakfast, which you have to pay an extra £10 to order. Rather unnecessary when you consider the cost of staying. Bed was extremely comfirtable. Staff very good

Beautiful hotel with stunning views of the Fowey estuary. The interior design is contemporary and very well thought out. We had dinner in their restaurant twice as the food & service was first class, everything we ate was fresh & delicious. The bar area has comfy sofas overlooking the water which is so pretty. Lastly the staff were all friendly and helpful, all seemed happy to be there. We will definitely return to this wonderful hotel.

Lovely stay at this hotel. Staff are super friendly. Room was lovely. Didn’t eat at the hotel only breakfast. Shame you now have to pay for a hot breakfast so we stuck with continental which was limited but adequate. We aren’t big breakfast eaters. Complimentary gin is a lovely touch and made the most of that. This was our second stay and will be back. We love fowey
