"It was a nice family holiday for us at Treganna. Breakfast buffet was ok, the green spaces inside the estate excellent. Our apartment was clean, unfortunately no one showed up from house keeping in the first 4 days. I was expecting more frequent cleaning when I am staying 7 nights in a hotel. Location wise it has easy access inside the estate to walk down the beach. There are many excellent restaurants around at St ives. It was a peaceful nice and clean hotel. Thank you"

"Our room was huge but our friends room below was tiny. Loved the lift, very good and staff on the whole excellent. Now the things that let it down, event on lowest floor yet staff having to run upstairs to another bar for soft drinks??? Unsure why at some point you wouldnt just bring some downstairs. Pizzas on buffet looked cheap and not the quality the hotel excudes elsewhere. Oh and no veggie sausages at least 2 days in a row. In 2026 to be told the Chef apologises and is trying to source some - yeah even lidl and aldi do linda mccartneys, heck most cornershops stock them, be honest, people appreciate it more. Overall pricey but a lovely hotel, love the outside deck and that its dog friendly, harder and harder to find high standard accomodation thats also pet friendly. Overall a pleasant stay, and helpful staff, events service could be higher with minor tweeks but the cocktails were good and those serving drinks and canapes were friendly and professional. Do not let pizzas out the kitchen looking like that, heck splash out and throw some salad on the plate or something. They looked shop bought even if they werent which should tell you what you need to know. I can get a stonebaked pizza for £10 with toppings from a truck. Maybe we just got them on a bad day but still at £300 per night for a standard room, you do expect it to be at least as tasty as a basic takeaway pizza. Continental breakfast selection was good, everything you'd expect including very tasty overnight oats."

"​A wonderfully cozy pod with everything we needed for a comfortable stay! It was very quiet at night. Having the parking space right in front is super convenient. Location-wise, it’s about a 15-minute walk to the town center, with a bus stop right outside the pub. While breakfast isn't available, there are complimentary tea and coffee setup in the room. Highly recommended!"

"Room was spacious and clean, but tired. Shower is a stand in a bathtub situation. Windows very dirty, and bed was a big, but needed a little TLC. Fine, but 2/3star at best. Breakfast was good, cooked breakfast very good. Service was impeccable. Bar service slow as the Batman appeared to be in the restaurant also. Accept this is Penzance, not Paris, so I’m satisfied, but not blown away, for over £200 a night."

The only issue I had was the striped carpet on the stairs. For some reason, it was really disorienting.
