"A well maintained and interesting Victorian Hotel in a beautiful seaside location. Filled with vibrant art works by one of the owners, and large, comfortable common rooms offering splendid views of the sea. The staff were welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. We eat out in Tintagel but the snacks in the bar area were appetising and the cakes absolutely delicious. The owners were out and about interacting with visitors. The rooms were well appointed and clean with comfortable facilities and the nightly cost very affordable. All in all, a destination that we'll undoubtedly visit again when the weather improves."

"Clean rooms, lived the Earl Grey teas. Breakfast was very good, my wife often ordered from the menu. Staff were attentive, reception always smiled. Grounds were clean, the pool looked inviting, would have definitely used in warmer days. Although the room was very clean the shower was all open plan with the bedroom, which was strange. The sink could have been deeper made shaving difficult. All very modern but not practical. But none of that spoiled our long weekend. Would go again especially as its do close to the Eden Project."

8/10 Good
"When I arrived in Newquay I was confronted with Road Works directly outside the Hotel and was forced to make a 3 mile detour just to get to the Hotels front door, I know this is not the Hotels fault but I did find it frustrating. The receptionist was helpful and made me feel welcome, which, in my opinion, is very important. My room was on the second floor and overlooked the afore mentioned Road Works but this did not have any real affect on my stay as there seemed to be nobody working on site. The room facilities were good, with light refreshments available and these were topped up daily. The room was cleaned daily and the bed was remade every day. The bar/restaurant was extremely pleasant, service was efficient and the staff were polite, helpful and respectful. All in all a very pleasant stay and very good value for money and I would be quite happy in recommending this hotel."
