Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers warm and clean rooms that have been professionally refurnished to a very high standard, representing exceptional value. While a bit dated, the comfortable bed, excellent bathroom, and provision of bath sheets stood out as positives. The location is ideal for exploring Cornwall, with friendly and cheerful staff catering to all needs. The dining experience was delightful, especially the variety and service provided. Facilities were well-maintained overall.
The hotel had clean and very comfortable rooms with a nice big bathroom and provided water, coffee, tea, and biscuits. The service was professional and went above and beyond to be helpful, even at late hours. The location was perfect for exploring the local area, especially near attractions like the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan. The dining experience was nice with a good selection, although it could offer more local products. Overall, a pleasant stay but the bed quality was disappointing.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were fantastic and very immaculate, offering a good size for a comfortable experience. The service was exceptional, with extremely efficient and helpful staff attending to our needs. The location was perfect for exploring other areas of Cornwall, making it easy to access beautiful towns nearby. The dining experience was decent, with a variety of options available. Overall, it was a great value for money hotel with friendly and attentive staff.
