"What an absolute gem - full of character, amazing staff, spacious, clean rooms, quality furnishings, delicious food, wonderful breakfast - is that enough superlatives?! The setting of this hotel is out of a picture book - I’m sure the smugglers came up the beach to drink at the pub!’"

"We arrived soaking wet and didn't get a friendly welcome from the receptionist . She just told us our rooms were in the cottages near the entrance and handed over the keys sayig all informaion was in our rooms.. No warmth at all... We found our rooms to be groundfloor quite nice and beds were comfortable.. Unfortunately, there was loud creaking overhead as the people moved around upstairs.. It was very noisy and seemed to go on for hours. Also the traffic noise from the busy road was awful! The breakfast was fairly basic but ok. We would not return.... "

"Great location on the harbour. Definitely on the shabby side, common areas could use some redecoration and carpets, but the room was nice, clean and spacious. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were very helpful and courteous. Overall a great place to stay for a few days, we would stay again."

"The staff on the bar the first night we stayed just didn't seem to want to be there. "

"Lovely castle. With great views! Room nice however Bathroom in room was a cupboard which let the room down. Breakfast was nice however overpriced for a limited selection, would be nice to have eggs royale for example. Also staff were very mixed on what was and wasn’t gluten free… a vegetarian breakfast was served instead. Not worth £17.50. "

"Lovely stay. Great hotel and location. Room was fantastic as were the staff. Randomly they don’t sell crisps or peanuts at the bar - which I thought was odd. Still a 5 star stay though."

"Great hotel and a very central location. Staff were lovely, rooms were fab, and the roof terrace bar was fantastic to retire to for pre-dinner drinks. We were certainly able to give our friend an 80th birthday ‘event’ to remember!"

"Staff in the restaurant/spa bar/spa were really helpful and pleasant. The indoor pool was great. Sadly we didn't get to use the outdoor pool as it rained but it did look very nice. View from our room was lovely too. We booked breakfast on one day but found it too much after dinner the previous night. We ate at taste of Cornwall one night. The food was very good but the room was very dark and the music stopped a couple of times and nobody around to turn it back on, so lacked a nice ambience."

"Very good thank you"
