We went to the Old Ferry on the recommendation of friends. One or two reviews on this site did make us raise one eyebrow, but we had a very enjoyable stay there. The situation is superb [best savoured from the characterful lounge] alhough arrival and departure need organisation to avoid tangling with the ferry queue down the slope, and to... more

My husband and I booked this last minute (on thursday arrived on saturday). Our arrival driving through the village was magical, the lanes full of wild garlic and spring flowers. The car park was a bit small and tricky but not really a problem. Our room was cosy and the views amazing. We instantly chilled out. Catching the ferry to... more

This used to be my idea of "pub heaven" so how disappointed I was on revisiting with four old friends recently. We arrived about 9:30 hoping to settle in for a few pints and a game of darts, so were amazed when the landlord announced at 10:15ish he had decided to close at 10:30, despite the fact that the published... more

Recently stayed for two nights, a very comfortable room and spotless bathroom. Pleasant, friendly staff throughout. Good bar menu and a varied choice of specials. One item I am particularly keen to note when staying away is breakfast. This one was very good with a varied choice of juices, cereals, fruits and full English which we had both days! It... more

The location of this unpretentious little B & B is its best asset, with stunning views across to Fowey & of the river. Our bed was very uncomfortable & the rooms all very dated, tired & shabby. Staff did not bother to make our bed properly & the unfriendly, unhelpful attitude of all staff pervaded our stay. The food was... more

This review is dreadfully unfair. If the food & service so poor why did these people see fit to leave a (generous) tip?? Or make the decision to suffer through puddings and coffees afterwards? The rooms maybe out dated, but the building is over 400 years old and would look ridiculous decorated in a more modern style. And having only...

This is probably my 10th visit to this hotel. Yes Its a tad dated in decor and yes the ensuite is not what you would normally expect in style but on average price of £85 per room its good value especially when you have to pay double at least in Fowey. Breakfast for me a great full english, always served... more

I read BRADBURYSTEVE,S review with dismay -the OLD FERRY INN that I have stayed in three times is a fabulous place - big warm rooms - great staff , lovely food , you will not find a better location or value for money in the FOWEY area . The INN did a major refurb of the bedrooms last winter and... more

I read with shock the review by Bradburysteve as it bore absolutely no resemblance to Old ferry Inn (and staff) that I have stayed with every year for the last four years. If you're looking for warm and cosy rooms, exceptional food, friendly staff that remember you (and your quirks) year on year, a great location from which to explore... more

Having recently stayed at the Old Ferry Inn, I can only comment on what excellent value for money it is. A wonderful location, high quality food with generous portions and friendly, helpful staff. We holiday here every year and would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone. We've told all our friends and family about it so we will definitely be... more

The whole experience was as bad as we have had in this country. We booked a 2 night stay having stayed in Fowey during the summer, based on the location. Location is all the place has. The food was appalling, the shabby room a throw back to the bad old days and the service (if you can call it 'service'... more

I personally dealt with the writer of this review and felt I had to respond. The details of this person's stay are inaccurate to say the least. While we appreciate honest feedback and constructive criticism, this account is based on hearsay and in places, completely false statements. This person called us the night before they were due to arrive asking...
