Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had immaculate rooms with lovely views of the harbour, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It's located just outside the Town, offering a quiet stay with easy access to amenities. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of Cornish dishes, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel has everything you need, a great view, and a comfortable bed in the beautiful dining room. It's clean, airy, and offers an excellent view of the harbor. The service is extremely helpful and goes above and beyond to make your stay special, although there could be some improvements. The location is fantastic with scenic views and private parking. The dining experience is good, with welcoming staff and a clean environment, even though there might be room for more variety in the hot food items. Overall, it's a solid choice with some room for enhancement.
