I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room was beautifully refurbished with a comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom, the noise levels were quite bothersome. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff and a great location in the heart of Fowey. However, I found some of the prices overrated, especially when it came to dining options.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though initially faced issues with the pillows and lack of fridge, turned out to be smartly furnished and cozy. However, noise from the surrounding area was a downside, especially for two people sharing the room. The service was excellent, although we encountered conflicting stories from the staff and a surprising overcharge. The location was exceptional, right on the waterfront with stunning views, while the dining experience had its ups and downs. Overall, the hotel offered a unique stay with some room for improvement.
