Fowey Hall

A luxury family retreat overlooking the Fowey Estuary, it's believed that the majestic Fowey Hall inspired Toad Hall in The Wind in the Willows. Author Kenneth Grahame was certainly a frequent visitor to this former family mansion, and it's the perfect location for messing about on the river like Ratty and his friends.

Once you've slung your fishing nets in the lobby and been greeted by Bramble the hotel dog, make yourself at home and enjoy the seamless fusion of luxury and family time. Despite the hotel's grandeur and elegance, the patter of little feet is welcomed throughout - and the crèche, play areas, zip wire and games room ensure there's plenty of child-friendly activity. However this is a sanctuary for grown-ups too, with opulent bedrooms, peaceful alcoves by roaring fires, spa treatments on tap and sumptuous Cornish cuisine served in the fine-dining restaurant.
