Would happily book again.

Staff friendly and very helpful. Lovely atmosphere, lovely food and stunning scenery.
Will definitely stay again.
Truly excellent overnight stay. Great pub and superb room, beautifully appointed with everything you need.
Staff were lovely and welcoming.
Amazing cooked breakfast in the morning as well.
Absolutely nothing to find fault with.
I went for my birthday & chose the hotel for the location, stunning views & closeness to the Minack theatre. Stunning location, right on the beach, the staff were very attentive and couldn't have done more and all in all made it a very special stay for my birthday.
The location was absolutely stunning! Watched the sunset over the cove. Staff were welcoming and kind. The room was just lovely- so many thoughtful details. Highly recommend!!
Lovely relaxing stay. Room exceeded expectations and the having the pub downstairs was so nice for a drink in the evening after being out walking all day.
Had a lovely stay at The Old Success Inn. We booked a room with sea view and were not disappointed. The breakfast was really good and kept us going well into the day. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was really good. Only issue was the bathroom fan was really loud, however forgot to tell them this when checking out, so hopefully they will read this review. Overall thought the stay was great.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Old Success Inn. The location was fantastic, the room was beautifully designed, the quality was brilliant and I adored the small touches like the complimentary Korev and the Robert’s radio gently playing as we arrived. The staff were friendly and professional and made our short stay thoroughly enjoyable.
We were able to check in early which was a nice touch, as were the complementary drinks and snacks. We ate outside in the afternoon and the burger was delicious. The bed was a bit on the soft side for my liking but I had a wonderful night’s sleep. Breakfast was lovely, but it is cooked to order so factor that into your timing. All in all a wonderful stay, will definitely be back
I loved my stay here. It was one of my favourite stays on my trip.
Tom was brilliant at check in amd was available to help when i needed.
My room No1 was stunning, beautiful decor, and views of the bay.
Sennen Cove is dreamy and i highly recommended it
Room was lovely overlooking the beach , shower was very weak , very busy inn and food was good , even staying you were not guaranteed a table to eat or drink except for breakfast
