Amazing stay

Stayed here at the end of an explore of Cornwall and it was the best place to stay! Tucked away in a very pretty corner of the world. All the stay were amazing super helpful and polite. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the ocean and lighthouse. When we arrived we were told about a small private cove you could walk down to for a swim in the sea which was a great experience and the hotel even supplied beach towels ! The hotel has two restaurants one for fine dining and a normal one. We tried the normal restaurant and the food was really really good too! All in all amazing would stay again it’s in a lovely place

the hotel has a fantastic location - is secluded and quiet. The location on the coastal hiking trail is just great. The rooms with a view of the bay are highly recommended - here you can also bridge a day with bad weather. The food is good and the portions adequate... We would love to come back...

It was my first time here, I didn’t like my room as there was very little light in there and just seemed very dark, I didn’t pay for a view but was disappointed as there was no view at all which made the room dark and depressing. I also think that the breakfast should be included in the price. The food was very good and the breakfast was lovely. The staff were very friendly.

Great for healthy living people

This hotel does not have a pool, although it says it does on Hotels.com website Room pleasant and well equiped with fantastic views, bed comfortable but found pillows so hard I went and bought one! Staff were very friendly on the whole, except breakfast waiting staff, who were not very approachable. Breakfast choice was OK, although no cereals or white toast available (only muesli, fruit or yoghurt and brown granary toast)- again I went and bought my own. Fried breakfast was nice though. Not much room for parking, so to avoid a long walk up to the village for parking, (my partner is awaiting a knee replacement so I would have had to drop him off and walk back to hotel on my own - not good at night with uneven surface to lane and little lighting) did not take car out for fear of losing parking space. Although we love the area for the quiet, we don't think we'll stay at this hotel again - mainly because of the lack of a pool, the parking and the breakfast.

Lovely little break 😀

We had a small room but we didn’t mind because we were out most of the day. We found the menu limiting but ate out. The service very good. The views from the garden were excellent and staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful stay.
