A really nice hotel and location which we very much enjoyed until breakfast time. Despite paying £300 for dinner bed and breakfast, we were disappointed to be told by the head waiter that we could not have a window seat at breakfast as those seats are "reserved for people staying in deluxe rooms". This was despite arriving for breakfast shortly... More

We stayed for a weekend at this hotel and were very impressed with all aspects. The room had plenty of space for clothes, the bed was very comfortable and the view lovely. The food was excellent and the service in the two restaurants was impressive, as indeed was the service generally. The swimming pool was very good and, although neither... More

We have just stayed for two nights in this hotel. On approach it looks a bit drab but the doorman complete with hat coming out to the car park to assist with luggage soon reassures. We were visiting family so didn't eat here or use the spa. But on check in we found our room was on the first floor... More

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Worth paying the extra for a deluxe sea facing room however beware if you have a first floor room (especially 107) on a Friday or Saturday that the evening entertainment is just below and is very loud. Good choice of restaurants, food is well presented and tasty, excellent service and rooms very clean... More

Nice rooms, comfortable beds, spotless, great views all make this a nice place to stay. Reception staff not over- helpful and a request for a few postcards of the hotel to send to friends was refused unless I paid for them! Don,t think they realise the importance of customer service and free publicity in the digital age! Nice golf course... More

We spent 3 nights at the carlyon bay hotel as a birthday and anniversary treat. Upgraded to a sea view room which was really lovely with views across to the gribben and rope haven. The effort of the walk up to the gribben from menabilly is worth the trek even in extremely windy conditions! Back at the hotel the staff... More

We have recently returned from a short stay at the Carlyon Bay and it was worth every penny for our stay. The location is great, food lovely and service second to none. We felt very well treated and all staff were most attentive. We slept well, ate well and felt totally relaxed - what more can you ask for??

nice restaurant, lovely views, friendly staff and good service, was dissapointed that there was no price on the T.D.H. Menu so did not know how much it was going to be until we got the bill, food was good but desserts are overpriced at 9 pound each, especialy the fruit salad as it was so small. probably wont be going...

Room was a bit on the small side but would recommend a sea view room for extra space. Food was excellent and there was evening entertainment on both nights we stayed. Good amenities and a great location for coastal walks. Good Golf course attached to the Hotel. Would certainly go back.
