Trenython Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in a lodge which was clean and fully equipped. There was even a washing machine, although I would have preferred a dishwasher (but that is a personal choice). Staff was friendly and meals very good. I would recommend a lodge for a longer stay and a room in the stately manor for a few nights. Definitely a positive experience!"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a nice clean and modern room which gave us plenty of room. The staff were very helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. We were there to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary so would have liked a sea view room but we couldn’t run to the expenditure of that. Maybe another time. Breakfast was also perfect. We will definitely go to Fowey again as the views over the river was amazing. Thankyou for making our break so enjoyable."
