Guests say
The Watch House in Fowey is praised for its excellent location with stunning river views and convenient parking. Guests enjoy the property's value and proximity to local attractions. While the decor and maintenance are noted as needing attention, the charm and comfort of the property, along with its reasonable pricing, make it a popular choice for repeat visits.
Several reviews mention the presence of cobwebs, dust, and unclean areas, indicating a need for a more thorough cleaning routine. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues.
The location is consistently praised for its excellent views, easy access to Fowey, and the bonus of having a parking space. The vibrant local scene adds to the appeal.
The property is described as comfortable and relaxing, with a great view and reasonable equipment. Some guests mention old and uncomfortable beds, but overall comfort seems satisfactory.
Facilities are adequate, with some guests finding the property well-appointed. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as non-opening balcony doors, blown lightbulbs, and the need for refurbishment.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

This was our second visit to the Watch House, previously we left a 5 star review, but things have changed.1. Cobwebs with dead flies in apex of the large main room window and velux window over the kitchen area.2. Cobwebs with flies on wall of main bedroom.3. Blown lightbulb in main roomThe furniture is not new but I don’t expect that, especially at the price we paid.The problems stated are such a shame as this is a very reasonable priced and well equipped holiday home and amazingly has a car parking space.

This was our second stay at The Watch House. It is great value compared with many other properties and also has parking. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will be available to book next year.There is so much going on in the car park, cars going round and round looking for a space and boats being launched from the slip way. It's hard to get out of the chair and go elsewhere.The Salty dog café situated by the slip way offers a variety of food at reasonable prices.Fowey has plenty to offer, water sports, fishing, crabbing (not sure if the parents enjoy it more than the children) and plenty of places to eat.Good location with plenty of places to visit within an hour to two hour drive.
