Old Quay House

Rich in maritime history as far back as Henry IV, Fowey (pronounced 'Foye') is the jewel in the crown of Cornwall's resurgent South Coast. Architect designed and comfortably chic, the Old Quay House is an historic, lovingly restored property overlooking the town's attractive waterfront. 21st century styling has been cleverly combined with traditional architecture to create eleven, very different bedrooms that radiate quiet luxury and celebrate the stunning view. Pre and post dinner drinks on the terrace are the perfect place to soak up estuary life.

A vibrant range of bedroom styles from 'Cool Island' to 'New England' feature an eclectic collection of personally chosen furnishings, goose down duvets, the best Egyptian cotton and uplifting views. All have strong, distinct personalities with seriously indulging bathrooms boasting proper power showers and luxury treats from the White Company. The Penthouse, with fab Estuary views, freestanding claw foot bath and polished wood floor is perfect for discerning newly weds.

In the 'Q' Restaurant crab ravioli, whole red gurnard, Fowey river oysters and pan fried Cornish scallops all vie for centre stage. The tantalising, locally inspired menu even has a charcuterie plate for two in honour of Cornwall's first gold award winning air dried salami. From duck confit to tarte tatin, Head Chef Ben Bass cooks with a proud traditional bistro style, inspired by old French cookbooks, brought bang up to date with freshly foraged herbs like wood sorrel and Cornish round leaf mint.

The Old Quay House boasts a string of accolades including being voted 2008/09 Cornish Small Hotel of the Year & being a South West Tourism Awards Finalist in the England in Excellence Awards.
