Beachy Haven

A lovely property, great rooms and communal areas. I love the idea that it operated as almost self catering, without traditional hotel services. It was calm and quiet, very relaxing stay, would definitely come again. Fantastic little village and beach within walking distance.

What a little gem this hotel is, there is no restaurant, but has a communial room with facilities to be able to make food. This didnt bother me & my boyfriend as we could get up and go out to eat as & when we liked. Room was massive and so comfy, window sill was so wide i could sit in it reading my book and looking at the sea. Maria who runs this hotel on her own is a amazing, nothing was to much trouble, very knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was too much for her. I would personally stay here again.

Extremely rude young lady when we arrived to check in. We were 40 minutes early and she abruptly told us she would charge us extra for being early. We asked her could we sit at the bar and get some food and were told they weren’t doing food so walk into the little village. The hotel advertises food and drink so that’s false advertising. You walk into the hotel and there’s a horrible musty smell so we walked straight back out and booked into a nearby Inn

Ideal for a quiet and peaceful get-away.

Great position and views, the road was quite a steep climb down and back to the Beach/Harbour. Very peaceful which was just what we were looking for. Excellent service from a very friendly and welcoming staff.

Hotel is nice and clean, Queen bed room was spacious, lovely seaside views, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was good but the menu was a bit traditional and could have done with more options such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc. Gorran Haven is a beautiful spot, beautiful surroundings, just be prepared for very narrow roads around the village but the hotel car park has plenty of room.

Llawnroc Hotel - peaceful & enjoyable stay

A few days away for a special birthday and it was indeed special. Really well appointed room with balcony (morning suntrap) and sea view. Very friendly and helpful staff with special mention to Jo and Lisa who went out of their way to help us. Excellent breakfast. Only one disappointment was that the restaurant was closed. However would thoroughly recommend staying at this hotel and visiting the small village of Gorran Haven which has an amazing community spirit with volunteers running a local bus service or manning the fabulous coastal path cafe.

Lovely welcome and Harry was extremely helpful. Superb view over the cove. Dinner and breakfast delicious (altho we asked for items to be omitted at breakfast but still got them!). Hanging space in small cupboard very small but we were only there 1 night (sadly) so wasn’t too much of an issue.

Lovely hotel in a super position overlooking the village and sea. Upgrade to sea view essential or a view if the car park! Rear of hotel a bit grubby. Breakfast excellent, dinner not so good, had to send meals back as they were overcooked. Room clean and tidy, noisy refrigerator. Overall very good but not “superb”.

Wonderful place

This place was in the middle of nowhere so starting to get worried. We walked in the doors and immediately were amazed. We arrived after the restuarant had closed down and were starving. The gentleman who checked us in checked with the chef and he said no problem, they would make us something & bring to our room. That is exactly what they did. The food there was amazing and the staff was super friendly and they all went above and beyond to help us along the way.

The Llawnroc Hotel is a gem. Situated in a small village on the coast it is a better than 4* hotel with very comfortable rooms and very good quality dining facilities. Staff are all very friendly, helpful and relaxed. I ate dinner there twice and the food was excellent. Breakfasts consisted of both cold buffet items and hot dishes cooked to order. The hotel caters for both vegetarian and vegan diets. My room was large and had all modern conveniences including air-con, safe and fridge. The town of Gorran Haven has a few small beaches and only a small number of shops and other facilities. However it is very pretty and offers lots of walking options. It is also well situated for access to the main Cornish tourist locations. I loved my stay at the Llawnroc and would happily return there.

I would not recommend this hotel at all.

We did not stay at the hotel due to having both caught Covid. We asked the hotel with plenty of notice to either refund our booking because we were to unwell to travel, or to hold our finances so we could rebook when free of Covid. They absolutey refused us either option. So we paid out for two days stay but did not go there. This is why we give such a low star rating. I would now not recommend anyone use this hotel. Such old fashioned way of doing business in a modern era.

From start to finish this was a bad experience, on arrival it was not clear where to go when you checked in - the phone number was incorrect on the door when we called and reception had moved. No iron in the room, had to get one from reception which proved difficult - we were then woke up at 8am by another guest to get the iron. No toilet roll in room, had trouble getting the shower to the right temperature due to dodgy handle. Key card was not allocated the right nights so had to ring reception to get back into room late at night on the 2nd night. Also didn't get a key to get back into the building, we had to use a hidden lock box in the bushes which was very odd. The building was lovely and you can definitely see the potential, just lacked any real service or offering - shame to see such a lovely building going this way.
