Fowey Hall Hotel

Fowey Hall, Fowey, Cornwall, UK - Explore & Book

"There aren’t many child-friendly hotels that have nailed the art of keeping everyone happy. Kids want entertainment. Grown-ups want guilt-free relaxation. Ideally all in an impossibly chic setting. Enter Fowey Hall, an impressive 19th-century manor, perched on the edge of bustling Fowey, where the views of the estuary are glorious. Here, while the kids play dress-up in the Ofsted registered creche, or frolic in the Wind in the Willows-themed gardens, grown-ups can have a lie-in. Or gaze at the sea from the spacious spa terrace. It’s win-win. Design-wise, think marble fireplaces, parquet floors and elegant wood panelling. A vintage cinema room, old-school arcade games, a choice of swimming pools (indoor and out, both with great views) and pops of quirky wallpaper keep things pleasingly informal. Couples after a romantic break needn’t be deterred by the family focus. There is so much space that it’s easy to carve out a private, child-free corner. By day, potter down the hill to the beach, or swing by the pretty port town to get your cream tea fix. We're already plotting our next visit. Highs Gorgeous, trendy interiors alongside dreamy sea views A plum position in an Area of Outstanding Beauty, within walking distance of the beach and the pretty port town With a generous 2 hours' free childcare each day, plus top kids facilities, parents get to have a holiday too The service is exceptional The food served in the restaurant is top-notch Lows Couples seeking a romantic and restful stay may want to avoid the school holidays Dogs are very welcome here – a low for some 60 rooms, so less ‘boutique’ than we’d normally choose" - Anna Hughes
