We visit Fowey twice a year and make sure a visit to the Dwelling house is always on the itinerary. Excellent service, quality food made to a high standard using local ingredients where possible. and not overpriced... need i say more. Glad it is so far away or my waist line would be expanding at a alarming rate.

A beautifyl tea room with a quaint and cosy feel. Beautifyl cakes and proper bone china cakestands and services - there really is nothing to dislike about The Dwelling house. They make everything in front of you and arewarm and friendly. The only problem is choosing what to have as it is so delicious.

We stopped in by chance for a cream tea and were really impressed. Beautifully decorated inside, modern and relaxed but also very traditional at the same time. Beautiful cakes, fantastic range of teas including some Cornish ones, and really well made sandwiches. The staff and owners were really welcoming and friendly and were very child friendly and accommodating and even... More

There is nothing to fault with this quaint b and b in the backstreets of Fowey. I visited with my aunt and her boyfriend, and my parents, we had drinks and a small snack, but it came to £25, but it was top quality, you could see it being made in front of you. Also, it is a bit small,... More

another quick head up for the dwelling house. Everything I wrote in October 2011 still applies, quirky, charming B and B. Great breakfast, great tea room. This time we were suposed to stay for four nights. After one night we both got a bug and felt rubbish which really spoilt our stay. What I would like to say is a... More

We had a very nice lunch at The Dwelling House while in Fowey for the afternoon, having found it highly recommended online. The sandwiches and quiche we ordered were delicious, tea for 2 was in an amply-sized pot, and our cake afterward was scrumptious - all served with a friendly smile. Highly recommended!

I admit I was swayed by the decor on booking, but everything else matched up to its charm. Adam and Teresa are wonderful people: charming, interesting, and incredibly generous. The breakfasts are a three-course wonder in themselves, and the complimentary cream tea was, without doubt, the best I have had. And I'm a Cornish girl living in Bath, so I... More

This Tearoom is exceptional, all home baked cakes, gluten free is available, the breakfast is a must, service is second to none, dogs allowed in one area...it couldn't be better. They made our holiday, it was wonderful, a step back in time as it is all based around the 50's and very well done too and cannot wait to return.

Highly recommended. We stayed there for three nights in February. Adam & Theresa, the owners, were exceptionally helpful and considerate and provided a first class breakfast. We especially enjoyed making friends with George, the cat, and the roll top bath in the bedroom is an unusual and appealing feature. The Dwelling House is right in the centre of Fowey, near... More
