Overall, my stay at Havener's was lovely. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, the room was clean and well stocked (biscuits, tea, coffee, bath robes, etc.), the location is perfect, the town views are charming, and the food, both dinner and breakfast, was delicious. This was easily the most luxury feeling accommodation of any place I stayed during my two weeks in England. I highly recommend Havener's and would not hesitate to stay here again. Things to be aware of: - It's an old building with single pane windows, at least in the room I stayed in (1). As a result, all exterior sounds are clearly audible. Despite this, and because of the operating hours of businesses in town, I never found this to be problematic during normal sleeping hours (e.g., 10pm-7am). A set of ear plugs was provided, though I did not have a need for them. - Access to all rooms is currently only possible via a set of stairs. However, if you can manage the very steep streets throughout Fowey, the limited number of steps shouldn't be overly problematic. - The mattress in my room was not terribly comfortable. It certainly wasn't the worst I experienced during my trip to England, but also noticeably a spring mattress with limited padding. If any one thing were to be improved about the room, this would be it. - Due to the age of the building and settling over time, room #1 slopes considerably downward in the direction of the bed's head. This could lead to a headache during the night.
