Hi - I am sending you a 5 star review as you deserve compensation for the review by Gema Pinazo ... she left our gallery a 1 star review also, on the same day!
She seems to have had a rampage against several galleries who displeased her, even though she has never met us, or them, we can only assume it is Joseph Pla's agent, who in the four years since we have taken over Tregony Gallery we have never spoken to, met or had any dealings with her at all. We join you and the Imagination Gallery in suppoprting excellent galleries who nurture talent and deliver a great customer service. All the best from Tregony Judi & Brian

Nestled in Fowey, this art gallery is a haven of charm. The Mandi and her team's genuine enthusiasm and expertise create an inviting atmosphere, elevating the experience. Service is impeccable; engaging conversations about art add a thoughtful touch. The swiftness of my painting's delivery was impressive, a testament to their professionalism. Beyond art, this gallery offers an enchanting journey. A must-visit for those craving both aesthetic delight and superb service.

I left this gorgeous gallery with 3 large bags full of goodies from the upper floor. I’ll definitely be returning. The works in there are beautiful and varied and very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely too!

She seems to have had a rampage against several galleries who displeased her, even though she has never met us, or them, it seems ... Spanish, you might know the artist's name? We met you when we collected his work to take to Imagianation Gallery St Ives. See her other reviews - we seem to have come off worst! You can read my reply to her 🙂
I loved visiting your gallery and hope it has gone from strength to strength. See you again soon, though we are now based in Bath... Ian
