The Old Ferry Inn - A historic riverside inn with scenic views, traditional dining, and proximity to coastal trails
Overlooking the Fowey Estuary, The Old Ferry Inn provides cosy accommodation in a 400-year-old building with river and sea views. Rooms feature private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and some offer scenic river or sea views. The on-site restaurant serves traditional homemade meals with a modern twist, while the bar offers Cornish real ales and ciders beside a log-burning stove. Guests can relax on sun terraces with views of Fowey and Polruan or explore nearby trails like the Hall Walk, a circular route with panoramic estuary views. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and activities such as cycling and hiking are accessible. The inn is 29 km from Newquay Cornwall Airport, and free public parking is nearby. A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Old Ferry Inn.
Pros
The historic riverside location offers scenic views of Fowey and the estuary.
The on-site restaurant serves traditional homemade meals with a modern twist.
Proximity to coastal walks like the Hall Walk, known for its panoramic views.
Free Wi-Fi is accessible in public areas.
Cons
The nearest airport is 29 km away, requiring transport for arrivals.
Some rooms may face quieter streets rather than the river.
“The Old Ferry Inn strikes me as a cozy, thoughtfully updated retreat. Its location on the River Fowey certainly provides guests with spectacular views, best enjoyed, I imagine, from the terrace. The staff's friendliness and the comfortable rooms, particularly the beds, seem like highlights, contributing to its inviting pub atmosphere.”
