The Safe Harbour Hotel

Good location. Lovely, friendly staff. Disappointing hotel. Bedroom pleasant but the bathroom wasn’t clean with awkward access from carpark which was not a pretty sight. Breakfast was reminiscent of the 70’s. Old fashioned hotel in need of an update.

This is a great place to stay while you're exploring Fowey. The location is unbeatable; just a short walk down past the beautiful church to the main street and harbour. Our rooms were comfortable with spotlessly clean bathrooms, and the breakfast is plentiful and freshly prepared.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Safe Harbour Hotel in Fowey! The room was beautiful, very comfortable bed and the people were efficient and welcoming! The Full Cornish Breakfast was wonderful! Great pub, too. 3 minutes walk into town. Fowey is certainly well worth a visit! Beautiful little town and fabulous walks along the cliffs!

Remember your Grandmother’s bathroom fixtures? If you’d like to revisit, this is the place. The sink, shower and toilet were circa 1969, as was the carpet and flooring. Basically clean, if you ignore the many carpet stains. Expected to love this place from the reviews, did not. After a long journey, we’d expected to eat at the hotel but the cleanliness of the bar changed our minds. On the whole it felt like the staff had better things to do than to help guests. I asked about buses to the train station and the receptionist said, “well go look on the sign at the bus stop.” When our room was boiling hot, I asked if I could get a fan and the receptionist said, “No, we don’t have those for guests, it will cool down eventually.’ All in all I don’t know why this hotel is rated so highly; made me wonder who was writing the reviews. Fowey is great and we look forward to future trips; when we stay elsewhere.

We made a last minute reservation at the Safe Harbour Hotel because the airbnb we'd reserved couldn't help us with the luggage transport service. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The pub and inn sits atop a hill and our room had a wonderful view of the village and harbor. The bed, linens and towels were great and we appreciated the electric kettle. The shower needs shoring up but we came out clean enough. A good stay in a lovely location.
