Dining

The on-site Samphire Restaurant holds an AA Rosette and serves a seasonal menu with river oysters and pan-fried Cornish scallops. Chef Richard Massey oversees the kitchen, using locally sourced ingredients. A full cooked breakfast is provided each morning, and the carefully selected wine list complements the estuary views.

Accommodations

Rooms are individually designed, with some offering estuary views and private balconies. The Loft features a separate lounge area with a large window overlooking the harbour. Selected rooms are dog-friendly and come with a dog bed and bowls on arrival.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel sits on Fowey's waterfront with a waterside terrace overlooking the estuary. Fowey Aquarium, St Catherine's Castle, and Readymoney Cove Beach are within a short walk. Independent shops, restaurants, and boat trips along the river are just metres from the entrance.

Services & Awards

The hotel has received a Visit England Gold Award for its accommodation. Private check-in/check-out and luggage storage are available. The 24-hour front desk and daily housekeeping support guest needs.

Terrace & Practical Information

The outdoor terrace is a sun trap with estuary views, popular for drinks and socializing. No food is served on the terrace due to seagulls, but the restaurant offers indoor dining with the same views. Parking is available at long-stay car parks, with the closest an 8-minute walk from the hotel.

Highlights

Dining: AA Rosette Samphire Restaurant with local seafood

Rooms: The Loft and individually designed dog-friendly rooms

Location: Estuary-side terrace, 8 min walk to car park

Awards: Visit England Gold Award

Pet-Friendly: Dog bed and bowls on arrival

“The Old Quay House Hotel sits at the heart of Fowey, making it an excellent base for exploring. Its waterside location is particularly striking from the dining area, where meals are served with a view. This position ensures a lively atmosphere, though it means a short walk from parking.”
