Wonderful location. Great staff. Friendly and attentive and basically 'yes' was usually the answer. Comfortable room and lots of little details that added to the enjoyment of the stay. And dogs are genuinely welcome - quite a few staying and no one remotely minded. That really added to the relaxation. Oh, and the menu, though short, was beautifully cooked. Breakfasts great too. And the views from some rooms, from the terrace and from the breakfast room are to die for.

Just be aware that there is some building work going on and if you want to cross the river via the ferry which is just outside, it's basically a tenner a day.

The Old Ferry was lovely, a charming old pub with friendly staff, who made us made feel more like friends than 'guests'. The breakfasts were more than ample with a wide choice and nicely cooked. There was a comfortable, suuny guest lounge with a great view of the river. A delightful place to stay

The only slight drawback was that to get to Fowey itself, you had to catch the ferry and the last one back was at 7.45pm which meant you had to eat early in Fowey if you didn't want a long drive back to get round by road! One other thing was that the bedrooms were up fairly steep stairs which I found quite hard work as I'm quite old with bad hips, not very suitable for the disabled!

Bedroom was lovely and modern/ chic with amazing view of river. Hotel veryquirky mix of old traditional downstairs and ultra modern upstairs. Breakfast was very good as was evening meal.

Parking was seriously stressy in small carpark as other users were not very considerate in their parking. Not ideal trying to get your car in very tight awkward space in rain. Hotel is advertised as dog friendly which I have no problem with but felt some people took it to extremes. Not sure if a very large dog should be sitting up at a table like a human being eating from said table and trying to move carefully with hot coffee and get your own breakfast while stepping over several large dogs lying across floor. Its a fab hotel but maybe a bit too dog friendly for us.

A lovely Dog friendly inn, room was lovely and clean - nice shower and the facilities in the room were spot on. Really good breakfast in the morning with friendly staff, loved making a fuss over the dogs. Plenty to choose from from cereals, yoghurts and fruit as well as the hot cooked breakfast options. A lovely pub steeped with history.

Our only snag was being the other side of the river to the main town - the chain link ferry stopped quite early in the evening, we had a dinner reservation the other side on the main town area and we could not stay that side for as long as we wanted to - we were only in town for one night. This is not their fault of course!!

The hotel is in a great location, with views over the estuary and Fowey. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room we had was a good size, comfortable with excellent facilities. It was so spotlessly clean and the bathroom was very good, great shower. The food at The Old Ferry was good, reasonably priced, the breakfast has a wide choice , and you can order a cooked breakfast. The hotel is situated on a very steep hill so may not be suitable if you have mobility issues, There's a small car park which we didn't use, if you're lucky you can park on the street near the hotel, but we parked on the street at the top of the village which was a fair walk back to the car when we left. It's a great place if to want to explore Fowey and Polruan or are walking the coastal path.

Maybe a bit more choice for the evening menu would have been nice, but what was on it was good and well cooked.

Staff: Welcoming, friendly and efficient. Room: Immaculate. Whilst compact, very VERY well laid out and equipped, plentiful tea and coffee, the blackcurrant cordial a nice touch. Offered the use of a small fridge for dog food and drinks - outstanding! Shower deliciously hot. Honesty cupboard and fridge for snacks and drinks. Bar - a traditional Cornish Pub, Great ales and a distillery (!) Dinner well presented and plentiful. Parking is available, but get there early to secure a place!

The cooked breakfast whilst delicious was a tad light on quantity compared to others we have had in the County (my fav meal of the day). That said, it was well presented, very tasty, cereal, extra toast and fruit available, with Tea, coffee and juices.

Very welcoming. Exceptionally friendly owner and staff. Our room was very comfortable with nice rustic style and gorgeous views. Although this room was with low ceilings ( anyone higher than 5.8’ unlucky would fit) but we were fine. And this is the only one room in whole property with such low ceilings as I was reassured :) Lovely food in the pub. Very nice breakfast. They gladly catered for me with my dairy free request because of my allergy. My sincere gratitude for that. If you up for a walk there’s a national trust walk near by - The Hall walk. It’s a remote location but ferry to Fowey, the other side of Fowey river is just a few meters away from the property and only about 3-4 minutes sailing. It’s only 35 minutes drive away from Eden Project. You might consider to stay here overnight before visiting Eden Project. The place is amazingly pet friendly 🐾

We started our stay at the Old Ferry Inn with the owner obligingly sprinting uphill to show us the parking space and helping us personally with our luggage. After a short rest in our beautifully furnished room with a modern bath we had drinks paired with good food and a beautiful view over the harbor. Our whole stay was pleasant and we could not have wished for a more friendly personal. It's a secluded place to relax and enjoy. Currently the owner is getting some work done and we will be returning at some point to see how this will be finished.

Beautiful location. Lovely clean rooms. Fresh milk for tea. Honesty bar. Good food although limited menu at night. Friendly staff. Breakfast staff and kitchen staff were amazing. It's just what a pub should be. No glaring lights or rowdy music. Beautiful views from terrace. Sadly had to cut holiday short due to illness.

Parking not great. Ferry finishes early from September so no chance of eating late in Fowey but to be fair we were warned

Wonderful location, the room was very spacious for a family of four and the views were exceptional! Great staying somewhere with so much history. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we all loved Archie, the dog!

There was a smell of mould in our room so had to keep the room ventilated. The bathroom also had spots of mould on the grout and seal.
