We have just returned from a lovely trip to Fowey and stayed at the Old Exchange with Michael and Celia. Their hospitality was fabulous and Michael cooks an amazing Cornish breakfast. It is described as large and he isn't kidding...it kept us going all day. He is an amazing character with plenty of local information and stories to tell... as... More

We stayed in the beautiful 4-poster room for a couple of nights in August. The room is very spacious with a large bed and comfortable sitting area (sofa, chairs, etc) and an en suite dressing/bathroom - all very tasteful and comfortable. It's brilliantly located near all the little shops and restaurants of Fowey which is a charming village. The owners... More

We stayed at Foye Old exchange for 3 nights and what a lovely welcome we had. We stayed in the large four poster bedroom what a grat place to stay. The breakfast is excellent and I dare anyone to finish it. Micheal even gave us a quiz on local history after breakfast and this makes a nice change. I would... More

We stayed one night in the Old exchange in the huge four poster room, to find it very comfortable, warm and welcoming. This B&B is full of charm and character. Be prepared for an exceptional breakfast and anecdotes from the owner. Perfect central location for exploring Fowey and the surrounding area either by boat or foot.

We stayed at Foye Old Exchange for the last night of our weeks holiday in Cornwall, having found it just by chance we didn't know what to expect. We were delighted to find it more than comfortable and the welcome was very warm! We had one of the standard rooms as the four poster was already booked, but found it... More

We stayed here one night before setting off the walk the Saints Way (backwards). Great location in a lovely town, and nice, comfortable room. The owners were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was the biggest I have ever seen - it defeated me (but not my boyfriend). Great place to stay.

Stayed for 1 night at the end of our trip around Cornwall. Michael and Celia are both real characters and very nice hosts - and Michael makes a rather large and tasty full Cornish breakfast too. Fowey is definitely worth a visit - take the ferry boat across to Polruan for a full view of the harbour, and dinner at... More

Stayed for two nights whilst attending a Wedding. I was very pleasantly surprised by the standard of accommodation. Fowey..."Foy" as I learnt it's pronounced, is picture post-card beautiful. The B&B lived up to this idyllicc setting. The owners are a little eccentric, the guy's been theTown Crier for 32 years and there's enough historic telephone memorebilia on board to explain... More

We had a fabulous short stay in this traditional B&B. Our room was huge, with a sitting area, and views over the pretty little street. The location is perfect, with a very short stroll to the restaurants and harbour. Our hosts were charming, and were always ready to help. If you want a real taste of Cornwall, stay here!!
