Fowey Hall

About Fowey Hall

Fowey Hall occupies a Queen Anne-style Victorian mansion on a hillside above the town, its grand proportions and turrets said to have inspired Toad Hall in The Wind in the Willows. Set in its own grounds with views over Fowey harbour and out towards St Austell Bay, it is one of the more architecturally distinctive hotels on this stretch of coast.

The hotel is run specifically as a family hotel, with a strong emphasis on making space for children without compromising on comfort for adults: a kids' club, complimentary evening childcare, a games room, cinema room and family library sit alongside an outdoor pool, a smaller indoor pool, a hot tub and a spa offering Elemis treatments. Bedrooms range from standard doubles to larger family suites, many with sea or garden views, and the restaurant holds an AA Rosette for its Cornish-leaning menu.

Its hillside position means a short walk down into Fowey itself, past gardens and quiet lanes, while the hotel's own grounds and pools give families a reason to stay put for a day at a time. It suits multi-generational groups and parents wanting a proper break rather than a stripped-back boutique stay, and its 2023 refurbishment has kept the public rooms feeling current without losing the building's period character.
