Old Ferry Inn, Bodinnickback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The Old Ferry Inn was my first stop of the day in Cornwall. It has the advantage of opening in the morning. The pub is situated next to the car ferry over to Fowey at the bottom of the village and a very steep hill. My car struggled to get back up the 1 in 6 incline! A couple of other people were there when we arrived. They were enjoying coffee and tea. Ales are all from Sharps - Own, Atlantic & Cornish Coaster. No real cider was served. The bar is decorated with lots of nautical pictures and memorabilia. There is a separate dining area. But the pub is quite compact, in all. A lovely pub in a handy and picturesque setting. The only drawback is the lack of ale choice and a real cider.

Right by the Boddinick ferry and at the end of the Hall Walk from Polruan so nicely situated and sitting on the patio in the afternoon and evening sunshine the view was perfect.
Excellent pint if Sharp's Cornish Coaster too which at only 3.7% packs loads of flavour.

Called in last week for a pint and spot of lunch. Staff very friendly, food and beer good, nice roaring fire. Locals were also friendly. Out of season and mid week but open and inviting.

Good pub with a nice view of the estuary from the dining room and outside seating.
Decent Sharps beers but the local still cider was excellent and shouldn't be missed.
Right by the Boddinick ferry and something to look forward to on the walk from Polruan.

Lovely pub with a historic feel, and the most enjoyable pub to spend time in on a tour of Fowey/Polruan/Bodinnick area. My girlfriend and I were the only two people in the pub for a good few hours on a Monday afternoon having walked from Polruan to get there. It's a cosy pub offering Sharps' Own and Cornish Coaster, both of which were in top nick. Lots of paraphernalia on the walls in the bar, and a seperate dining room as well as outside seating. The barmaid mentioned that they were missing a set of darts which I took to mean that this was an option, although no dartboard was evident. This would only add to the appeal. Looking forward to a return trip.

A great Pub serving Sharps and its 'own' ale, brewed by coors, I believe. Food was nice and fresh and as not in the centre of Fowey it was easy to park and enjoy both the food and drink.

Nice old pub at the bottom of the hill. Very handy for the Fowey ferry (hence the name!) being about a one minute walk from the Quay. And I would guess most of the pub�s clientele are going to come from this route, there doesn�t appear to be a massive amount in Bodinnick.
There�s a small patio area with terrific views down the estuary. Probably the best view of all the pubs in the Fowey area, although I guess the Galleon gives it a run for it�s money. The amount of outside seating is quite small, only about half a dozen tables at most, so you might be lucky to find anything on a nice day.
They have a sideline selling ice-cream which should keep the kids happy, and I enjoyed a very pleasant pint or two of Sharp�s Orchard cider which I had not come across before.
