Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered stunning views over the beautiful beach just across the road, but unfortunately, they were poorly soundproofed, leading to a disruptive night's sleep. The service was a bit inconsistent, with friendly and helpful staff but some minor mishaps. The location was amazing with stunning bay views, but noise and smoke from late-night guests were a downside. The dining had highlights like the Cornish breakfast, but some dishes were overcooked. Overall, a place with ups and downs.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great, with easy access to the beach and stunning views, but the service fell short of my expectations. The rooms left much to be desired, as they had an unwelcoming feel and overlooked a brick wall. The dining options, however, were impressive with a variety of delicious choices.
The hotel is situated in a perfect location by the beautiful cove at Port Gaverne, providing a sneak peek of the sea, which is always a bonus. The rooms are quaint, clean, and generously stocked with treats, although the noise from the kitchen extractors can be bothersome. Overall, a wonderful spot to enjoy the bay but with some noise issues to consider.
The hotel's rooms were a delight, although a bit small and warm during the recent heatwave. The service was a mix of very friendly and slightly clinical. The location offered great beer and food but had disturbances from late-night activities. The dining experience had a charming choice of continental buffet or cooked breakfast. The facilities were adequate but could use improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small but had access to a nice terrace, although it was a bit noisy next to the kitchen extraction fan. The service was hit or miss, with some staff not being attentive, but others like Phillip going above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The location was fabulous, offering stunning views over the bay and convenient access to picturesque headland walks. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some delicious dishes but also some disappointments. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs improvements in various aspects.
