Lovely little break 😀

We had a small room but we didn’t mind because we were out most of the day. We found the menu limiting but ate out. The service very good. The views from the garden were excellent and staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful stay.

the hotel has a fantastic location - is secluded and quiet. The location on the coastal hiking trail is just great. The rooms with a view of the bay are highly recommended - here you can also bridge a day with bad weather. The food is good and the portions adequate... We would love to come back...

Amazing stay

Stayed here at the end of an explore of Cornwall and it was the best place to stay! Tucked away in a very pretty corner of the world. All the stay were amazing super helpful and polite. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the ocean and lighthouse. When we arrived we were told about a small private cove you could walk down to for a swim in the sea which was a great experience and the hotel even supplied beach towels ! The hotel has two restaurants one for fine dining and a normal one. We tried the normal restaurant and the food was really really good too! All in all amazing would stay again it’s in a lovely place
