Excellent stay at The Dunoon.

I loved my stay here, the location is lovely, surrounded by countryside, the room very comfortable and clean, the staff very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing, especially the Sunday carvery! I will definitely stay at The Dunoon again and highly recommend it.

Very nice inn; falls short as a hotel

A very clean and comfortable inn, but not a truly good hotel. The staff, while very nice and helpful, are not available much of the time, the location is somewhat far from the city center and there is no bus service, only taxis which do not operate all the time…I felt the place is truly an inn—mostly a bar/limited restaurant with some nice rooms to let…For guests with their own cars, I’m sure it is far more satisfactory.

Liked: Cleanliness
I’m struggling to see the value in this inn. We had a family room (four in one bedroom) but the bathroom was far too small for four of us. The shower was the width of a toilet cubicle. In fact the loo is right opposite the shower - nowhere near enough space. The basin is in the bedroom. I wouldn’t recommend this I’m afraid.

Lovely stay, good location but near a main road

Very good value for money, excellent breakfast and very friendly staff - we felt like we all knew the landlady for years by the end of the week! Location is good for St Ives - probably not walkable and get a taxi during busy periods (£7.50 each way). Also a short drive to Penzance. Rooms are relatively small and fairly basic - TV is just freeview, no Netflix as far as I could tell. They do have a small fridge each which is useful although they did buzz a bit. Could definitely use air con, especially on warmer nights it was a bit hot. You can open the window but then you get some road noise. Parking area is huge but a short walk to the rooms. The bar is lovely and the restaurant food is good in the evenings. Overall recommended for families - Balnoon Inn has a very nice family holiday vibe.

Never recommending

The place was ok and manager Chris was nice to you. Sadly they have taken payment twice out of my bank and I have been trying for a week to get this refunded. Every time I ring Chris she says that she will deal with it straight away and will phone back but never does. I will never stay here again and now sadly will not be recommending

Skuffende

Vi ankom til et lukket hotel, 10 min efter kom sønnen, han lukkede os ikke ind, men ringede til sin mor, som ville komme 10 min senere, hun kom så 40 min senere, allerede der fortrød vi at vi skulle bo der 3 dage, dårlig start at vente 1 time på personalet. Værelset størrelse var ok, men intet tryk i bruseren og skyl i toilettet var tit umuligt. Dårlig Wi-Fi og signal til tv. Morgenmad var jævn kedelig, personalet var der bare, ikke serviceminded. Der var snusket i vindueskarmen hvor vi spiste. Husk man må have hund med på stedet, der var gøen Indtil kl. 22-23 om aften Vil ikke anbefale det sted. 3/10 stjerner
