Trenython Manor

Great location clean and great breakfast

booked this hotel for our 46th wedding anniversary after seeing the write ups on the quality of the food and hotel. The hotel write up says “wake up to sea views and a hearty breakfast included on both mornings of your stay, tuck into the continental buffet or order cooked items from the menu, will it be full Cornish or eggs Benedict? Our talented chefs will create a three course dinner for you to enjoy in the intimate oak panelled Dakota restaurant also included in one night of your stay expect delicious dishes where local and seasonal ingredients shine” I must point out that this hotel was taken over in September 2024 and I think most of the information on their website is related to the previous owners the delicious food was not forthcoming we had booked that romantic weekend which included rose petals in the room, chocolate bottle of Bubbly & breakfast on both nights with three course dinner on 1st night The breakfast was most disappointing I've never seen such a bland looking full English in all my life as per the photograph and it was all cold and I ordered it with the eggs poached to be on toast so the yoke would seep into the toast and my wife ordered egg Benedict, both our eggs came up solid! The evening meal which again nothing related to previous write ups on the hotel. The main courses on offer were pasta arrabiata, sirloin steak but that was an additional £10, duck with noodles and hoisin sauce, cheeseburger and fish and chips. The duck and noodles came up with a duck leg on top! Whenever I've had that in any other high class restaurants the duck always comes up shredded in the noodles not dumped on the top. The waitress we had who's now gone off to Bali was outstanding, the maitre-d' for breakfast and in general I must say was very poor. While staying you could NOT run up a TAB! Every time we ordered a beer, wine or anything you have to pay at time of ordering.

Booked a Villa and it was amazing. 2 bedrooms all clean and suitable for my family. There is a kitchen which we were able to cook on oir 2nd day. We were able to book slots for their pool and use the jacuzzi,steam room and sauna. We had breakfast the first day a bit pricey but I guess thats a standard price for this kind of hotel. All the staffs are amazing,nice and accomodating nothing is a bother. The lady in reception ,in the pool and Richard on our check out are all assets of this place. Highly recommended and we would love to come back if visiting Fowey again. There are lots of places to go nearby.

Stayed at Trenython Manor for two nights as a birthday getaway. While the location is absolutely lovely — close to several charming pubs, restaurants, and beaches, and only about 15 minutes from the Eden Project — the stay itself was a bit of a mixed bag. Due to limited availability when booking, we ended up in a family room. It’s great for those with kids, featuring a double bedroom and a separate room with bunk beds. However, there were a few drawbacks. The bathroom was functional, but the bath was very shallow, and the towel rail was constantly hot — which felt quite unsafe, especially in a family-oriented room. The bedroom doors were heavy fire doors that I found difficult to open, and we were located on the second floor — which, because of the high ceilings, felt more like the third or fourth — with no lift access. The room was up in the rafters, likely part of the old servant quarters, with slanted ceilings that aren’t ideal for taller guests. The old-style windows barely opened, and one rattled in the wind, so we had to wedge paper into it to stop the noise. The view was mostly blocked by a high wall right outside the window, which was a bit disappointing. Also, there was a lack of bedside power outlets. That said, the TV was great for unwinding, with access to all the major streaming apps. Parking is limited right outside the hotel and is intended only for loading/unloading. The main car park is a short walk away, which wasn’t too bad for us, but worth noting for anyone with mobility issues or lots of luggage. The leisure facilities were a definite highlight — pool, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi were all clean and enjoyable, and they even have mini spin-dryers for your swimwear. Just note that guests need to book sessions in advance. It wasn’t an issue for us (midweek and off-season — we even got to extend into a second session), but I imagine it could get crowded during peak times. The hotel advertises two pools and two jacuzzis, though we only saw one of each. I also had a massage at the on-site spa, and the therapist was lovely and did a fantastic job — a real highlight of the stay. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot with great amenities and an ideal location for exploring the area. However, a few room-related and access issues did take away from the overall experience. With a few updates, this could be a fantastic place to stay.

The building is beautiful and location fabulous but the human element did not come up to expectations, we went for a birthday party as a large group, all staying in the hotel, the meal was pre booked but took a long time to serve waiting a good half hour for sweet to arrive, we had a fab birthday party but that was down to the guests and not the hotel, the food was average and I had expected more The room was good, large with a super king bed & the bathroom was also big with a double basin & double shower but a bit more attention to cleaning would be wise with thick dust on top of the shower fittings, there was also only one bath robe in a double room, we also didn’t realise that you have to request your room to be served every day rather than just coming back to a tidy room which I would expect in a room priced at £220 per night, the breakfast was average much like the other meals and we booked in the restaurant on the 2nd evening hoping that the previous nights meal was due to serving a large amount but we were very disappointed for a second time, we chose lamb cutlets off the menu only to find that they were off the menu replaced by roast lamb which was overcooked and dry and at £26 per portion was also overpriced but we didn’t want to drive into town as we wanted to have a drink The pool & spa area was good and seemed well managed but the atmosphere in the hotel including the dinning room was silent and no soul which did nothing for the flow of conversation, I expected a lot more from this hotel, the party was brilliant but the booked music was asked to finish early as there had been a complain but if they want silence in the building they shouldn’t book parties We will not be returning

What a lovely place! To be fair, the hotel looks tired in places, but the ambience and history make up for that. The staff, Abi and Ash in particular, were amazing and managed hospitality between them on a busy Saturday night. The pool area and changing rooms were immaculate and the pool was a good temperature. The surrounding grounds are beautiful and lovely for a walk and there is masses to do if you travel a few miles out from the hotel. Will we be back? You bet!!
