The Old Quay House, Fowey, Cornwall, southwest England - Explore & Book

"With its beautiful views across Fowey’s famous estuary, relaxation is inevitable at The Old Quay House. We spent a lazy afternoon tucking into cream teas on the waterfront terrace, before wandering out to bask in sunshine on the town's little beach. Returning to our room, we opened the French doors and napped to the sound of waves and fishing boats chugging slowly past. Perfectly placed among the bustle yet very quiet, this sophisticated hotel was once a refuge for sailors. Nowadays it's the ideal escape for walkers and couples in need of some fresh sea air. Step out of the front door to find narrow streets packed with boutiques, antique sellers and the obligatory pasty shops, or head across the bay to spectacular coastal paths and the sleepy town of Polruan. The on-site restaurant is deservedly popular with guests and locals alike, and breakfast is plentiful. There are lots of unexpected extras to enjoy, too, including little tubs of popcorn with your drinks, rain macs to borrow in the wardrobes, and an afternoon ‘treat cupboard’ brimming with cakes and sweets. Highs An unbeatable location, with watery views from most of the 11 light and airy roomsWe loved just sitting on the terrace with a drink, watching boats going about their businessDelicious food, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local meatIncredibly kind and helpful staffA calming, tranquil ambiance (no overnight guests under 12 are allowed) Lows It’s fairly pricey, but great views don’t come cheapThe nearest parking is 800 yards away, though you can drop bags at the doorClassic Rooms face the street and can be noisy, and seagull calls are a nuisance in all rooms in summer (earplugs are provided)" - Emily Preece

The Old Quay House (Fowey, Cornwall) 1 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"For such an intimate hotel — it’s small, with just eleven rooms, and family-owned — Old Quay House is a remarkably well-polished place. The owners, it turns out, are no strangers to the hotel business, so service is sharp and the interiors are sophisticated in their confident restraint." - Tablet Hotels

Highly recommended. Comfortable, clean, tidy and beautiful view. Wonderful king-sized bed. Plenty of free parking space. Lovely breakfast nearby with 10%off for hotel resident.

Beautiful location, can't fault it. But we visited for a Sunday carvery. We ordered a small adults priced at 15.25. We were served our meat and Yorkshire pudding. We were also served the vegetables too which a young lad was serving them. I think he needs a lesson on portion size. Because he only gave us literally half a spoonful of peas and carrots and cauliflower cheese. We understand the meat being served to us but vegetables are not expensive, we would have at least expected a spoonful of each. This seems very stingy and tight. Sorry to moan about this but everyone expects value for money.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious and the beds are so comfortable. The outside area is lovely which was perfect for the sunny weather. The facilities are also perfect. A short walk to Birdies Bistro for breakfast and the food and atmosphere is so lovely there as well. The staff are friendly in both places which made the experience so worth while. Definitely will be going there again in the near future.

We hired the upstairs for a wake. Amazing service, all the staff were brilliant and the food was great. Amazing place to hold events. They really can cater for anything. We had a Cornish buffet and it was brilliant, the mini homemade sausage rolls were especially good. Thank you old quay.

Amazing room with gorgeous views, the old quay house is a friendly welcoming place to stay with great attention to detail in the property to make it a great experience for their guests. Food was delicious, good options on drinks, nothing was too much trouble. The old quay house also offered privacy if needed and a central location to visit other Cornish attractions, close to St Ives, Carbis bay and Lands end. Couldn’t find any faults with our trip. Excellent views across the estuary especially at high tide with the option to view the local wildlife. We were sad to have to return home and will visit again.

We recently stayed in the location of the Old Quay House . We drove past this Venue and as it looked so nice from outside and the location we decided to book a table the same night . We booked through the open table app a table for 4 at 7.45 as we could not get a 8pm slot . On arrival we walked o to the venue to find a nice clean and same toy decorated bat and restaurant . We noticed a lot of tables had reserved on them so we thought the place was going to get busy as there was only 3 tables with diners on a table of 8 ,table of 2 and a single diner . We ordered our drinks and informed the bar staff we had a table of 4 booked for 7.45pm which they asked for my confirmation email as they could not find it but then they did and said it was for only 2 despite the confirmation actually saying 4 . The manager / waiter said it would not be a problem and showed us to our table . Every table in our area had reserved on it . The waiter passed our menus and rattled off 4 not available dishes out of a roughly possible 18 dishes . We ordered our dishes but our young daughter could not see anything she liked as at present she’s going through a heathy eating stage and does not like the nice tasty greasy foods . We all ordered and she decided she was ok and did not order anything . The waiter asked her a few times and she politely declined and he said if she changed her mind they could quickly prepare her something so it came shortly after ours|. We all received our meals which were all ok and my daughter decided she would have some of the chunky chips as they did not look greasy . I went to order some chunky fries at 7.55pm and the staff came back out of the kitchen saying the chef at turned off the fryer . Surely the oil was still hot as they had only just brought our meal out and if they turned on the fryers surely it would not take long to get up to temperature . We heard the chef swearing to the staff so it seems he was not happy having a late order . Soon after he came out of kitchen into bar when we could hear him say he lived to live not live to work . The meals we ok but a bit pricey as all of our meals were the type he would have source from the likes of Bidfood and brakes where you just heat them up.This was food the chef did not need to be very experienced to do as I am a supplier to the catering trades so are well aware or this type of quick food .|If the chef was to provide a better menu with more freshly prepared and cooked food this place I am sure would be a very busy place or if he’s not willing to do this they need to employ a new chef with a bit more passion. |This place as hot the potential to be really great . I never write reviews but I had to share this very honest review as I was very disappointed with it . This place on a Saturday night should be heaving .

A big Thank you to Trevor, Norbert and all the staff who made our 70th birthday celebrations just perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was piping hot served with consideration and without a wait. The cream teas that followed were delicious. The family and guests all had a lovely time whilst being able to overlook the estuary whilst the younger ones played on the many playing apparatus.

We went as a party of 4 and 2 of us ordered the chicken katsu curry on the menu it sounded lovely. But when it arrived the food was just about warm with a small gravy boat half full with curry sauce expecting to be shared between 2 people and when the curry cost £19.75 per person you should not be fighting over the smallest amount of curry sauce. Overall it was not a good experience or place to have dinner we left feeling scammed and hungry so we went to Asda to actually get a meal that we don't have to share!!!

The ground floor dining area looks nice and classy, cosy with low lighting. Ah, okay, we thought. But then despite there being plenty of open tables, and nearing closing time, we were inexplicably seated upstairs, and I honestly had a hard time believing they actually saw this as a legit place to feed people. Though it wasn't dirty (after all, they are getting two stars instead of one), it had bright fluorescent lighting, plain white walls, and gave a cafeteria feel. Not pleasant. We ordered at the bar and waited nearly an hour for the food (they warned us of this, but I was still confused as there weren't many people there). The food could have made up for it, but it didn't. My vegetarian dish automatically came with a terrible iceberg salad that I could only make myself eat about two bites of, and the small goat cheese pastry was really boring (even though I adore goat cheese). I was still hungry after that so I ordered their Easter special ice cream dessert. The only pleasant thing about the whole meal was the cute little chick that came on top of the ice cream. I adore ice cream, but it was really mediocre and came with no toppings except canned whipped cream... just plain chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and a wafer. Not what I expected from a special Easter "sundae"! Oy. This was by far our least favourite meal in Cornwall.

I'm not sure where the quay is (you would have thought there would be one nearby). The quay house though is a friendly pub with 1 inoffensive TV. The food looked good but me here for beer. Tribute and doom bar were on, Betty was on her break.

I wasn't overly impressed with this bar for food. Upon entering the bar downstairs it looked quite nice but we were seated upstairs which was a bland room which looked like a room above a garage with an odd shade of lighting. It did not have a good atmosphere upstairs. Unsure as to why we were seated upstairs because there seemed to be free tables downstairs. Had to order food at the bar. Was a very long wait on food being served. When the food did arrive it was ok, not great but not horrible. I had ordered sirloin steak and it was cooked as ordered, it is what you would expect from a bar that wasn't a specialist steak restaurant. It was reasonably priced. But I would have no desire to go back and wouldn't recommend it.

We stayed here within one of their bed and breakfast lodges and it was absolutely amazing. Fantastic view, well appointed room and scrumptious breakfast. We also decided to dine in the pub for dinner and it was equally as good. The steak and ale pie was lovely and my wife said the fish and chips was very nice. Very friendly, helpful staff, couldn't ask for any better.
