The Old Quay Hotel

Overlooking the estuary where the river meets the sea, The Old Quay House offers 14 rooms with some of the most sought-after places to stay in Fowey. Step inside this historic Victorian house and you'll find light-filled bedrooms, estuary views, and a calm setting made for a coastal escape. Outside, cobbled streets, galleries, and waterside walks make this one of Cornwall's most charming destinations. The friendly team are always on hand to make your stay as comfortable as possible. With elegant rooms, beautiful estuary views, and Samphire, Fowey's new Cornish Coastal Kitchen serving bold, seasonal dishes, The Old Quay House is the perfect spot to relax, dine, and make lasting memories by the water. Set over three floors, the rooms offer big, comfy beds – perfect for a good night's sleep after all that Cornish sea air and incredible food. Each room is individually decorated and styled, reflecting the charm and character of the boutique hotel. Several rooms include small balconies, and most look out over the estuary. You can even lie in bed with your morning coffee, watching the boats drift by and taking in views of Polruan village on the opposite bank. The Old Quay House is tucked away in the heart of the quaint, energetic seaside town of Fowey, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town clings to the west bank of the Fowey estuary – a deep-water harbour long favoured by sailing enthusiasts. Along the main Fore Street, you'll find a mix of small, independent shops selling everything from artisan gifts and artwork to books and boutique clothing. Just steps from your room, Samphire, Fowey's new Cornish coastal kitchen, brings bold, seasonal flavours and a fresh wave of creativity. The menu celebrates Cornwall's finest produce, from Goan-inspired Cornish mussels to signature beef sourced just six miles away. Vibrant small plates, hearty mains, and locally inspired drinks make every visit a true coastal escape. Relax in the bright, light-filled dining space or on the terrace with lovely estuary views, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
