Vivien is quite a character as several other reviewers have rightly said. She's not just a charming and entertaining host with awesome marmelade making skills, she runs a superb B&B. The bedroom was beautifully decorated, breakfast was superb and the location is extremely good - it is on a very quiet road just a 5 minute walk from the town... More

A very different B&B. Vivienne is warm and welcoming and has a vast array of local knowledge. The breakfasts are very good and cooked to your liking, the eggs fresh from the gardens hens. Our room has very little hot water, certainly not enough for a bath. We didn't mention it as on arrival I asked what time the "heating... More

The Artist's House is fairly suburban in appearance and location on the outskirts of Fowey. The hill down to town is steep (on the way back certainly!) and car's don't really work in Fowey. It is quiet and on-street parking wasn't a problem. The room was small but had a decent sized en-suite. There wasn't much storage. The windows need... More

We stayed at Vivien's home for three nights at the end of July, and it was definitely the most fun B&B experience we had this trip. We stayed in the Harbor Room, which was immaculately maintained and which contained everything we could possibly need - including cocoa for a late night snack! The room is decorated with Vivien's textile works... More

We recently had a fabulous four night stay with Vivien at Artist's House B&B. Both rooms were very comfortable and included many thoughtful touches (shower caps, wooden hangers in the wardrobe and fresh flowers). Vivien was very welcoming and tremendously helpful with directions to various places, suggestions for day trips, assisting with some much needed washing and even arranging a... More

We would, and probably will, go back. Vivien made our stay comfortable and effortless. Superb breakfasts with home-made bread and jams - and great conversation. Vivien is a mine of useful and interesting information about Cornwall and how to get the best out of it. Our room, although not huge, was perfectly adequate and above all the bed was comfortable....

I echo the sentiments of previous guests. Vivien is a treasure, her own artwork and that collected on her travels covers the house, which has a warm friendly feel second to none. Breakfast was simply superb, cooked as you like it when you want it. Our room was clean and had everything needed, with all the individuality only a B&B... More

We stayed 3 nights with Vivien at her B&B and would have loved to stay longer. An artist and native of Cornwall, Vivien is a delightful hostess, fun conversationalist, and had great suggestions for activities and sights. Her B&B is situated in town up the hill from the harbor above the old church and blissfully peaceful. Our room was great,... More

Very different from the formal, 'vacate by 10' type of place. Vivien, the host, is delightful, interesting and friendly. The house is eclectically decorated, full of her gorgeous textile artwork and the breakfasts are delicious, just the right size and cooked to perfection (eggs provided by the 'girls' out the back). Homemade bread, marmalade and jams top it off. Work... More
