About the Hotel
Kids at heart will relish Fowey Hall Hotel, part of Luxury Family Hotels. This historic manor inspired Toad Hall in the classic novel, Wind in the Willows. At the same time, the adult in you will be seduced by the sophistication of Baroque plasterwork, French furnishings and elaborate fireplaces. Overlooking the charming port of Fowey on Englandâ€(TM)s South Cornish coast, this treasure is spectacularly located within original walled gardens. It is also a gourmetâ€(TM)s delight, focusing on fresh Cornish produce at the oak-paneled Hansons restaurant and terraced Palm Court.

Reviews for Fowey Hall Hotel
Amazing grounds and views!
We stayed in a Deluxe room with a view. The room was a gorgeous modern big room with a very nice bathroom, we also had a small balcony. Definitely a great accommodation. The reception staff isn't particularly welcoming, they are more on the reserved side which is a shame. The spa was amazing, we loved the steam room and the relaxing balcony with a gorgeous view. I had a massage with Antonia, she was amazing and very professional, highly recommended her, she left me feeling very relaxed. The hotel is geared towards families with kids but that didn't bother us at all. We look forward to coming back.

Very disappointed
Had afternoon tea. Very disappointed. Tea arrived before everything else so was cold by the time the food arrived. The sandwiches were awful. Not sure what they were supposed to be. Two had cucumber and some kind of sauce in and the other had red pepper and green leaves in. The bread was soggy and tasteless. The scones were nice but only a small dish of jam and cream was provided for 4 scones. The cakes didn't get any better. A small lemon tart with hard pastry, a slice of Swiss roll with cream on top and a small piece of cherry cake. Very expensive for what you got.

Lovely weekend break in great location
A couple in our 50’s, our kids brought us a two night break as a gift. We loved the hotel and would definitely stay again and recommend to others. The location is fantastic and we had a lovely view of Fowey harbour. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, even printed off walking routes for us. We did the circular walk from Fowey to Polruan including two ferries which we would recommend. Food and cocktails were delicious and we found our room and all facilities exceptionally clean and tidy. It is a family hotel, other guests with children and dogs but this was not a problem for us. Even when our morning was rained off we enjoyed a game of pool and table tennis so definitely plenty to do.

A great luxury family escape, just needs a couple of small details polished up to be 10/10
We stayed for our son’s first birthday and overall we were really impressed. The views are beautiful, facilities are excellent and well presented and there’s a great outdoor and indoor pool and fab children’s library. They got our room ready a little earlier for us m and had noted our request for a balcony so we could sit out when our son was in bed. They had arranged extra touches we requested like a balloon in the room and the service behind the scenes is obviously very efficient. The rooms are lovely, a sliding door between the main door/bathroom and bedroom is such a great touch for those with kids and meant I could have a bath without waking him (the small things like this make such a difference with a baby). The food we had from room service was very good and came quickly, and when we ordered for our son earlier in the evening it came really quickly to allow us to put him to bed. There was also an A la Bark menu for our dog. The hotel group name is Luxury Family Hotels and I feel like they’re doing well to meet that brief. As a couple who love a bit of luxury but also have a baby and a dog, it’s rare we find somewhere that is really ‘friendly’ to both, i.e. actually has services for kids and dogs rather than simply putting up with them and sticking you in a second rate room. My only comment, and something that would have turned our stay from good to excellent, is the front facing service could improve. It sometimes feels like there isn’t really anyone around, and a good staff presence is paramount to the feeling of luxury and being well looked after. As I say, behind the scenes everything works very smoothly so no complaints, but when we arrived the receptionist was on the phone and it took a while for someone else to help us, even though there were other staff around. Making a bit of a ‘fuss’ and greeting guests properly on arrival really sets the tone. We also had drinks in the library when we arrived, were given lunch menus and chose food only to be told we couldn’t really have anything on them because they were only doing a Sunday roast or cold sandwiches. That’s fine, but more proactive service by giving us the correct menus & letting us know in advance what was on offer, would have made such a difference to first impressions. That being said, when we did interact with them, the reception staff and breakfast staff were very helpful and pleasant.. more just a case of feeling you have to look a little too hard for some assistance at times. Overall, great experience and would definitely return.

Lovely hotel but missing the small things
This is a beautiful place to stay. The hotel has great facilities, our room was lovely - the bed was super comfortable - and the surroundings are great. However there were a few things that let it down for me. It was booked as a surprise anniversary trip - a spa hotel - after a particularly difficult week following a bereavement. The room we were in was above the pool and although lovely was very noisy (we were also surrounded in rooms filled with kids who started slamming doors at 7am - we have a child but had left her with the grandparents so as to get a break). The bed was two pushed together which I never like but that’s personal preference. I tried to book a spa treatment before I arrived leaving a couple of messages / my calls weren’t returned. Then when we returned to the hotel after an afternoon out visiting a friend in Fowey (got back at 8.45pm) planning to have room service, we were told there was no food available. So we ended up with a plate of cheese having had nothing all day. In short the hotel has everything aesthetically right but the customer service and the fact we were in a room that is lovely but didn’t give us the opportunity to relax let it down.

We would like to congratulate you on your wonderful staff who have been so nice to us during our two week stay. Not only are they so professional, they are also kind, interesting and have a sense of humor! Nothing seems too much trouble. Thank you.

It was absolutely fantastic – superb food, excellent service and the kids loved the crèche. In fact, it was the first time we’ve left our five-month-old with a "stranger" and they were great with her. Thanks again.
