Best Western Fowey Valley

I haven't stayed at a Best Western hotel before, but if the standards across the chain are as high as they are here, I won't be bothering with Travelodge any more. This is a great little hotel in a good location for exploring Cornwall. The rooms are spotlessly clean and well appointed, the staff are polite and helpful, and it has great food too, what's not to like ? less

We have just arrived home from a weekend away, and we stayed at this hotel for our wedding anniversary as a break. We were able to take our dog and have had a relaxing time. The hotel provide separate rooms for visitors who take their dogs and provide a blanket,treats,food and water bowls and a list of dog friendly beaches to visit. The room was airy, bright and comfy bath and shower,tea/coffee facilities. Parking. She was able to come into the bar while we ate and had a drink. The food was very good, meat from the local butcher, breakfast ample self service. Lots of lovely places to visit ,Charlestown very pretty, Fowey, Liskeard Truro all easy distance. Perhaps a small fridge in the room would help to keep soft drinks in! You could not fault the staff , James and Jordan very helpful. All the staff are a hug3 credit to this little gem of a hotel and the management should reward them. We will b3 returning and will take other members of our family too.... less

Not your usual Best Western - in seeing it I thought I had made a mistake. The layout is a bit quirky but it was much nicer inside than it looked from the outside. Breakfast was beautifully cooked the first morning and not so good the second. The room was up to standard although the bathroom was chilly with a very cold tiled floor. I didn’t have any luck with the WiFi although I was pleased to see phone charging sockets. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. Lostwithiel is well worth a visit. less

We managed to book this 3 night trip on a winter sale. The Deluxe room (8) was pleasant enough and very clean - likewise the rest of the hotel - but perhaps not as “deluxe” as other Superior rooms where we have stayed previously: a king sized bed and walk-in shower were welcome, but the dressing gowns, slippers and coffee machine not wanted nor used. As with every UK Best Western we have stayed, the staff were all very friendly. The only real criticism I could level at the hotel, would be the lack of wi-fi in our room. Apparently, there had not been a complaint regarding this before and it was working fine throughout the rest of the hotel. We were offered another room, but, having unpacked, we declined this offer. So, we had no signal at all while we were in our room and had to tether to our mobiles, but unfortunately, the EE signal wasn't good either. Also, I don't know if it is the same in their busy periods, but we found the meal times a little restrictive, 6pm-8pm Friday & Saturday and 5pm-7pm for a carvery on the Sunday. That being said, the food we had in the restaurant was very good and the staff were more than willing in dealing with my difficult dietary requirements. Even the cooked buffet breakfast at the weekend mornings was pretty good; far better than buffet breakfasts we've had elsewhere. Overall I would rate this hotel higher than an average, but not quite very good, for which the TA ratings don't allow; I suppose a "Good" rating would be more suitable. less

This was our second visit to Fowey Valley Hotel. On our previous visit, the heating was unable to be regulated, but on this occasion there was nothing I could fault. Food, rooms and service were great. Will be visiting again. less
