Relax in the dining room or garden after your journey with a welcome tea or coffee and biscuits while you browse our books, maps, and information. Or you could order a cream tea.

Likes:
the trip into Fowey, to Sam's Restaurant
Dislikes:
too far from town centre, to shop etc, up a long hill,no nearby shops or pubs
Response from Holly House:
We are not sure what the guests mean by saying that the room is basic, because although it is not decorated in an opulent style it is equipped with a flat screen tv with dvd player, a mini fridge tea making facilities with a very generous selection box of teas coffees, biscuits etc, an alarm clock radio and hair drier. There is also a coffee table and two comfortable chairs.
There is a pub and co-op supermarket within a five minute walk

Environmental Statement
At Holly House we aim to be envrionmentally friendly. Energy saving light bulbs are used wherever possible throughout the house.
We recycle as much as possible including plastic bottles, glass, cardboard, clothing,and paper. Vegatable waste is composted and crumbs from the table are put out for the birds at feeders in front and rear gardens. We have robins, blackbirds, wrens, collar doves, blue tits and hedge sparrows and dunnocks nesting in the shrubs and most summers we have swallows in the garage.
We have installed solar panels which supply hot water, double thickness loft insulation and the cavity walls are filled. Sash windows have been renewed with wooden double glazed units.
Our water usage policy is that we do not wash unnecessarily. We ask you if you require your bedding changed if you are staying more than 3 nights. Towels will be changed as necessary.
We use ecology friendly cleaning materials throughout the house.
