Comfortable bed and great restaurant. Nice elevated location and I'm sure it's nice sitting out front or using the pool in the summer. Easy walk into Penzance. I'm sure sea-facing rooms are nicer, mine looked out over a back yard with junk in it, and with the window open I could hear an extractor fan from the kitchen (I believe), so pay attention to room location!

Great hotel!

The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was great and very clean. The views were lovely and the pool looked great although the weather was not conducive to swimming. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. I especially liked the pastries on the buffet and the cooked breakfast was delicious. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nice Stay - Delicious Breakfast

I stayed in a small single room. It needed more airflow, but a fan was provided, making the room very comfortable. I enjoyed tea on the patio in the afternoon. The best part of my stay was breakfast... delicious!!

Kaisely the Receptionist was very attentive and very helpful and friendly this morning. She took all of my complaints onboard and apologised sincerely for the lukewarm water during my stay. I know sausages and the sausages I was served yesterday were of such poor quality with a texture thats no meat. And there was this incident of someone trying to get into my room without my permission after I responded and said "a moment" Overall though, my experience was good but it could have been better considering it's a 4 Star hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nice spacious, airy and tastefully decorated room with all the necessary accessories and features. The service was excellent and friendly. The setting, with a beautiful view of Penzance and the harbour from the breakfast room, was particularly good. The swimming pool set in lovely semi-tropical gardens was a real joy to be in. My only gripes were: the shower, although providing ample hot water at more than adequate pressure, was nevertheless not easy to control the temperature of; the room TV - a large good quality Samsung - was not connected to an aerial so not terrestrial channels, and Prime Video did not allow logins to ones personal account. I am planning on staying there again 😊
