Fowey's upmarket trend
continues at this exclusive quayside hotel. Natural fabrics, rattan chairs and tasteful tones
characterise the interior, and the rooms are a mix of estuary-view suites and attic pent-
houses. Very Kensington; not at all Cornish.

A bonkers B&B that's gone for dec-
orative overload: the four rooms are full of tongue-in-cheek touches, from neon pink
flamingos to skull-print wallpaper. Owner Angelique Thompson holds regular soirées, and
runs a retro clothing boutique downstairs.

Everyone's fa-
vourite brekkie stop in Fowey, this friendly cafe is a riot of character, from the bright fur-
niture and polkadot bunting to the vintage action figures on the shelves. Wolf down a Fat
Buoy brekkie or a classic fish-finger butty, washed down with a mug of good old English
tea.
