The Esplanade Hotel

The Esplanade Hotel

8/10 Good
"The only criticism I have was the cove restaurant was over priced and the service was slow and we asked for a dessert menu and waited about 45 minutes other people with babies were serviced before us we felt ignored by the staff and then to add service charge of £8.10 was a really bad when there really was no service at all My husband and I were on the 2nd floor and he couldn’t manage all the steps so they did move us to the 1st floor however our room was tiny but I couldn’t ask them to move us again so we stuck with it but would have preferred a bigger room when your paying £150 a night the swimming pool was lovely I think when you have teenagers maybe they need to have things for them to do to like mocktail making or movies for teens or arts and crafts for them etc"

Bedruthan Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful stay for 3 nights in August. The hotel is beautifully located over looking a beautiful large sandy beach. Although there were many kids staying, it didn’t feel over run (other than a few overzealous dads throwing their small kinds over their heads in the indoor pool, which was a little unnerving)! The hotel was built in 1959 and looks a bit dated from the outside. However, inside it has been tastefully refurbished, though in keeping, and the facilities very good were up to spec. The bedroom was sizeable with a comfortable super kind bed and the walk-in wet room had two powerful showers and was lovely. Would have appreciated a shelf for toiletries and cosmetics and had to put those on the floor. We loved the refill stations for milk tea bags, coffee, water etc. which you took back to your room. Breakfast was a feast! Really one of the best I’ve ever had. A wide selection of continental meats. Cheeses, breads, fruits, cereals, compotes, yogurts etc. A full cooked breakfast is extra but not too expensive. We had a. Inclusive package, including car parking and a general spa package. The complimentary daily wellness wake up class at 8am in the studio over looking the sea was wonderful. Without exception the staff were polite, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. The beach walk is quite a climb coming back but well worth it. We were invited to use the facilities at the sister hotel nearby, namely The Scarlet Hotel. It’s newer and is adults only."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was pretty good in general. Room was fine: very clean. Slightly old-school grandparent vibe instead of funky Newquay surfer vibe, and some of the fittings were slightly run down if you looked closely, but that's being really critical. Breakfast was excellent with unusually good veggie choices. Staff were helpful. The beach location was dramatic. It was quite pricey but I suppose that's the cost when staying in Newquay last minute during school holidays."

"Loved it! However, I would suggest avoiding The Chapel for breakfast. We waited 45 minutes to be served and when we were eventually served, we were told our children couldn’t have pancakes 1.5 hours into breakfast being open and with another 1.5 hours to go. The food was bland and cold when it came. I’d definitely ditch the breakfast option to try out a local cafe instead! Apart from that, everything else was incredible!"

"A well presented resort and a well equipped self catering apartment. Located centrally in Cornwall for most days out. The Lookout bar is vibrant and busy most evenings. There is plenty for the younger people to do on site. The few things that require resolving: 1. The balcony seating was soaking wet on arrival. 2. The freezer box in the fridge was full of ice and could not be used. 3. Only one poor quality small loo roll was provided, it certainly allowed you to get in touch with your inner self. Would we return, yes now that we are aware of the pitfalls."

"Overall lovely hotel with beautiful decor and facilities. Everywhere was very clean. The overflow car park still undergoing building works and £27 a day for parking is very overpriced. No toilet roll in our room. Very slow service at breakfast and ran out of milk at and could only offer oat milk. Seemed to be more waiting staff just stood around rather than serving"
