Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Comfortable bed and great restaurant. Nice elevated location and I'm sure it's nice sitting out front or using the pool in the summer. Easy walk into Penzance. I'm sure sea-facing rooms are nicer, mine looked out over a back yard with junk in it, and with the window open I could hear an extractor fan from the kitchen (I believe), so pay attention to room location!

We extended our stay!

We spent 3 nights at this hotel. Originally we planned only 2 nights, but decided to extend, because we liked it so much, so we had a chance to try more than one rooms. The location is beautiful, the rooms looked great, the beds were comfy and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Nice Stay - Delicious Breakfast

I stayed in a small single room. It needed more airflow, but a fan was provided, making the room very comfortable. I enjoyed tea on the patio in the afternoon. The best part of my stay was breakfast... delicious!!

Breakfast was below average in my opinion. Good but not good enough for 4-star hotel charging those prices. Also surrounding is too quiet with not much to do. I would recommend staying in St Ives instead. Much more vibrant.

Kaisely the Receptionist was very attentive and very helpful and friendly this morning. She took all of my complaints onboard and apologised sincerely for the lukewarm water during my stay. I know sausages and the sausages I was served yesterday were of such poor quality with a texture thats no meat. And there was this incident of someone trying to get into my room without my permission after I responded and said "a moment" Overall though, my experience was good but it could have been better considering it's a 4 Star hotel

Disappointed with a few key details during my stay. The pool was advertised as open until 8pm, but was actually closed by 6pm frustrating for those planning to use the facility in the evening. The check-in greeting felt impersonal and lacked warmth. Additionally, the room wasn’t up to expected cleanliness standards, with a stained chair and noticeable food crumbs under it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nice spacious, airy and tastefully decorated room with all the necessary accessories and features. The service was excellent and friendly. The setting, with a beautiful view of Penzance and the harbour from the breakfast room, was particularly good. The swimming pool set in lovely semi-tropical gardens was a real joy to be in. My only gripes were: the shower, although providing ample hot water at more than adequate pressure, was nevertheless not easy to control the temperature of; the room TV - a large good quality Samsung - was not connected to an aerial so not terrestrial channels, and Prime Video did not allow logins to ones personal account. I am planning on staying there again 😊
