I had a Spa day booked at this Hotel, included in the package was a 2 course lunch. I have to say the Spa facilities were lovely, the therapist that did my facial was superb! It was a really enjoyable experience and well worth the £45 that I paid. Unfortunately the only thing that let the day down was the... More

We have just returned from a romantic break today, on our arrival the receptionist forgot to ask when we would like our champagne, so it wasn't until my husband checked with reception what was in the package that it was noticed that she had overlooked this. We couldn't check what was advertised on the Internet as it still isn't working!!... More

My partner and I stayed here on 6th and 7th Feb., following 3 nights in Sennen Cove. My partner had booked two nights as a surprise on our way home to South Wales via the Social Living website and had paid for an upgrade to a sea view. When we got to our room she was extremely disappointed and a... More

I read some reviews of this hotel prior to our stay there. I was a little alarmed by the negative comments. I can only conclude that some of the negative comments were made by people who had stayed at a different hotel from my wife and I! We just had a wonderful 3 days there, great service, great food, thoroughly... More

We were aware of the ongoing refurbishment programme but decided to perservere as it was a treat for my wifes birthday... More

We enjoyed our break here but it was a rather mixed experience. As other reviewers will have noted, the rooms are extremely variable in quality and so great care needs to be taken in ensuring you get a fully upgraded room. I would not desribe the room as especially clean, as there had been water through the ceiling - given... More

Booked on a winter special Dinner Bed & Breakfast package for one night. Beautiful hotel in great setting with stunning views. Upgraded to a sea view but was slightly disappointed with the dated decor and mouldy wallpaper, not one of the contemporary rooms pictured on the website! Food was very good but we were disappointed that there was an extra... More

Room 115 exceeded our expectations, bar the recommendations/points to follow later. A beautifully appointed room, the balcony, the lounge, the stunning bedroom & sumptuous bathroom, all first class. From the point of arrival, perfection was personified. We were greeted by a very professional but down to earth lady, joking about your building work but making us feel most relaxed &... More
