My husband and I have recently returned from a three-night stay at The Artists House in Fowey. The very nature of the B and B gives the feel that you are staying in someone's private house. Well in fact..... you are. The 'Seaside Landlady' VIvien shares her home with you. Our double en-suite room was clean and comfortable. Vivien's breakfasts... More

Thoroughly recommend Viviane's lovely B&B - you don't come across many Viviane's in your lifetime, a true character who makes her guests feel very much at home. Fabulous breakfasts that set you up for the day, her local knowledge and the very well kept lovely rooms. Fowey was also our favourite place that we visited (we went to Padstow, Rock... More

This was our first visit to Fowey and was most enjoyable owing mainly to the very comfortable accomodation and informative hostess. We stayed in the Garden Room which has a generous sized en-suite, spotlessly clean and hot water always available In addition to providing excellent breakfasts, Vivien also supplied us with maps, guides and advice on where to go and...

Vivienne was an excellent host, her house was cozy and nice, we had the room with the beautiful sea view. Vivienne was also helping us exploring the village, recommending walks and restaurants. Her breakfasts are excellent!

Vivien is quite a character as several other reviewers have rightly said. She's not just a charming and entertaining host with awesome marmelade making skills, she runs a superb B&B. The bedroom was beautifully decorated, breakfast was superb and the location is extremely good - it is on a very quiet road just a 5 minute walk from the town... More

A very different B&B. Vivienne is warm and welcoming and has a vast array of local knowledge. The breakfasts are very good and cooked to your liking, the eggs fresh from the gardens hens. Our room has very little hot water, certainly not enough for a bath. We didn't mention it as on arrival I asked what time the "heating... More

The Artist's House is fairly suburban in appearance and location on the outskirts of Fowey. The hill down to town is steep (on the way back certainly!) and car's don't really work in Fowey. It is quiet and on-street parking wasn't a problem. The room was small but had a decent sized en-suite. There wasn't much storage. The windows need... More

We stayed at Vivien's home for three nights at the end of July, and it was definitely the most fun B&B experience we had this trip. We stayed in the Harbor Room, which was immaculately maintained and which contained everything we could possibly need - including cocoa for a late night snack! The room is decorated with Vivien's textile works... More

We recently had a fabulous four night stay with Vivien at Artist's House B&B. Both rooms were very comfortable and included many thoughtful touches (shower caps, wooden hangers in the wardrobe and fresh flowers). Vivien was very welcoming and tremendously helpful with directions to various places, suggestions for day trips, assisting with some much needed washing and even arranging a... More

We would, and probably will, go back. Vivien made our stay comfortable and effortless. Superb breakfasts with home-made bread and jams - and great conversation. Vivien is a mine of useful and interesting information about Cornwall and how to get the best out of it. Our room, although not huge, was perfectly adequate and above all the bed was comfortable....
