Crew Quarters is a well-loved cottage praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location in Fowey. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, cleanliness, and the thoughtful welcome pack. While some minor issues with patio maintenance and bed firmness were noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Crew Quarters spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, one guest noted a decline in cleaning standards compared to previous visits, slightly affecting the overall cleanliness score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town and river views. Despite some challenges with unloading due to the tight space by the road, the convenience and quietness are greatly appreciated.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a particularly cosy sitting room and well-equipped kitchen. The mention of hard beds by one guest suggests that while comfort is high, it may not be universal.
The cottage is well-equipped and beautifully decorated, with all rooms enjoying river views. However, the need for patio maintenance has been highlighted, indicating room for improvement in outdoor facilities.
While guests have mentioned a lovely welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.

Crew Quarters worked perfectly for the five of us and a dog. Very comfy sitting room with view of the river, amazing kitchen, likewise with the view and lovely bedrooms. Spotlessly clean which is a big plus for us.

We had a lovely week in Fowey here. Perfect location for getting into town, its only a 30 second walk into town. Slightly tricky with the front door being right on the road, but we were pleasantly surprised that we had no noise disturbances in the night, as the bedrooms were at the back of the house overlooking the sailing club and river. Beautiful views from all rooms! Unloading was a little difficult as its quite tight stopping just past the house, but we managed it, then parked the cars at Caffa Mill (5-10 min walk away) It was lovely watching the boats go by with breakfast every morning. If you are tall, choose the upstairs bedrooms, as the lower bedroom has low ceilings! But definitely recommend, we had a wonderful stay, the house was more spacious than we expected, and very cosy living room. Also good wifi if anyone is working from home!

The house was beautiful, everything you could posibly need for your stay and the most wonderful view of the river from every room. It was the perfect location, right on the high street and accesible to everything. We cant wait to return!
