    lovely stay in a spectacular setting, but somewhat spoiled by sheer volume of the live music evening
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Classic King Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    the music on Friday evening was APPALLINGLY loud. It was uncomfortable up in our room. There is no value in amplifying live music to this extent. And there didn't seem to be any encouragement for visitors to keep the volume down; there seemed to be zero concern for the comfort of people who might want or need to sleep before midnight. There was a raucous group chatting and laughing loudly / screaming beyond midnight. It would have been reasonable for staff to ask them to be quieter at this time of night.

    breakfast excellent rooms were gloriously clean and comfortable staff very friendly check-in and -out very smooth view from the dining area was spectacular

    Nothing but the no parking is a downside, however it’s around 5 mins uphill to the car park which is reasonably priced.

    Great location. Excellent room. Great view. Right in the town centre. Quiet and clean.

    Excellent pub, food and accommodation.

    This is not to do with the pub but parking is an issue. This is right in the heart of Fowey and. There is a car park next to the pub but it’s small and I suspect gets very busy, max 2 hr stay. About half a mile away on the road out of Fowey by the Bodinnick ferry there is a long stay carpark which is much cheaper.

    First of all, this is based on an out of season (March) visit. The accommodation section is separate from the pub and is modern and really clean. It really is very good. There are two flights of stairs to get to the top rooms. Our room was lovely, small but with everything you need and very clean and new looking. I wish we had booked a river view but that was our mistake. The view is superb. The pub is right on the edge of the water. The food in the pub was “pub food” but really good pub food and the breakfast was lovely. All in all we really enjoyed the Galleon

    The rooms are very modern and stylish. The rooms with a view look right over the sea. The hotel is right in the middle of Fowey so you can walk to the pubs and restaurants. The breakfast is always good and freshly cooked. Great view for breakfast and Nikki is a great asset to the hotel. Very friendly and super knowledgeable on the history of Fowey.

    They have recently updated the rooms and is looking very smart. For a pub which is very popular and staff very helpful. Dont think there is anything more they can improve at the moment possibly later with wear and tare.

    Lovely place to stay with river views, have been staying there on a regular basis for the Xmas markets.
