"Das Cottage ist teil einer kleinen Schaffarm. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Cottage ist sehr modern jedoch gemütlich eingerichtet mit jeglichem Komfort wie Wasch und Spülmaschine. Es liegt etwas abseits und der Weg zur Farm ist etwas rau aber wenn man eine ruhige Lage sucht ist man hier goldrichtig. Eine absolute Empfehlung wenn man das wundervolle Cornwall erkunden will und einen gemütlichen ruhigen Rückzugsort zur Erhohlung sucht."

Moxy Plymouth

Moxy Plymouth

8/10 Good
"The location is outside of the town center; however, the entire city is very walkable, although it seems spaced out. We arrived early, and the staff was a bit standoffish at first; however very warm and friendly once we interacted a bit more. We were able to leave our luggage with them and walk around the city before check-in. Once checked in, the room was very clean and spacious. We received a welcome drink, and they had food options until 10 pm. It was a great hotel, and we would recommend staying and would stay again. It was about 10 pounds parking per night for parking but they gave it to us for free!"

10/10 Excellent
"Clean rooms, lived the Earl Grey teas. Breakfast was very good, my wife often ordered from the menu. Staff were attentive, reception always smiled. Grounds were clean, the pool looked inviting, would have definitely used in warmer days. Although the room was very clean the shower was all open plan with the bedroom, which was strange. The sink could have been deeper made shaving difficult. All very modern but not practical. But none of that spoiled our long weekend. Would go again especially as its do close to the Eden Project."

"The location & views can not be beat. It was a 7 min walk into Fowey Town Center from the hotel. The breakfast was good. The views from the bar & restaurant are stunning. We also booked a corner room with a wonderful view. If arriving by car it is best to see if you are able to book/reserve one of their assign parking spaces, directly in front of the hotel, as far in advance as possible. They only have a few parking spaces. Otherwise, you must arrange parking off site. The hotel is full of charm and staff are friendly. We would love to return."
