Architect designed and comfortably chic, The Old Quay House is an historic, lovingly restored property overlooking Fowey's attractive waterfront and the 2010 Cornish Small Hotel of the Year.
For owner Jane Carson, attention to minute detail has been paramount throughout the building’s loving restoration from derelict boarding house to revitalised boutique hotel. 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. All have strong, distinct personalities with well equipped bathrooms boasting proper power showers.
The ‘Q’ Restaurant boasts a spectacular waterfront location with uninterrupted views across the water. Pre and post dinner drinks on the terrace are the perfect place to soak up life on the estuary. Crab ravioli, whole red gurnard, Fowey river oysters and pan fried Cornish scallops all vie for centre stage and carnivores will love the Terras Farm duck, rare breed pork and prime rib eye steaks.
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. Accolades from the Good Food Guide, AA Rosettes and most recently Condé Nast are testament to the natural ability of one of Cornwall’s rising culinary stars.
The Old Quay House is a place for all seasons - wonderful for a long romantic weekend but with every creature comfort required for a longer stay. The Eden Project, National Maritime Museum and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are all within close reach.
