Reviews and Ratings
I had a decent stay at the hotel. The beach access was definitely a highlight, plus the private entrance to the beach was fantastic. The service was generally friendly, though there were some staff members who could improve their hospitality skills. The room we initially booked had some issues, but we managed to get our money back. Overall, it has great value, but some aspects need attention.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely stunning and the rooms are luxurious, but there were a few issues with cleanliness and the dining services. The staff was friendly, but service could be more attentive. Overall, it’s a nice place to stay, particularly if you’re looking for a great beach view, but it comes with its drawbacks.
I found the hotel to be in an absolutely stunning location, overlooking a beautiful bay, which made my stay special. The rooms were a bit cramped, but they were clean. Unfortunately, I encountered some issues with service, especially upon check-in when my room wasn’t clean. Dining was small but had some delightful options. Overall, while the location and cleanliness of the rooms were strong points, the service could definitely use some improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its highlights and low points. The location is simply stunning with beautiful sea views and direct beach access. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the room left much to be desired in terms of space and comfort. The facilities were nice, but the dining experience was chaotic, which was disappointing. Overall, I enjoyed my time here, but it didn't completely meet my expectations for the price.
I recently stayed at this hotel and was impressed by its beautiful location near one of the UK's prettiest beaches. The service was friendly and helpful, but I felt the dining options, particularly at breakfast, could use improvement. While the room was comfortable, it didn't quite provide the sea view I had hoped for, and the bathroom was a bit cramped. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are areas that need attention.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, enjoying the stunning beach location and clean, comfortable rooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making my stay memorable. However, I did find the breakfast options a bit uninspiring, and the room service could have been more attentive. Overall, it's a great place with a few minor issues.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with a stunning beach view from my room and helpful staff throughout my visit. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and close to St Ives. While the dining options were tasty, I felt they could have offered larger portions. Overall, a great experience with a few minor downsides in dining.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, which is a major plus. The rooms were a bit smaller than expected for the price, but they were clean and comfortable. The service was hit or miss; when they were attentive, they were great, but there were moments of neglect. The dining experience could use some improvement in variety, but there were some standout options.
I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was a nice experience with some wonderful views over the bay and comfortable rooms. However, there were a few drawbacks like the noise from construction nearby and an unpleasant interaction with the hotel staff regarding dinner arrangements. The dining was quite good but could definitely improve, especially for coffee lovers like me. It's a decent place, but there’s room for enhancement in service.
I stayed at this hotel expecting a comfortable experience, but I was a bit disappointed with the room size as it felt unacceptably small, almost like it was split into two tiny rooms. On the upside, the friendly staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant, and the location was fantastic with beautiful beach access. The dining experience wasn't great either, especially breakfast, which left much to be desired. Overall, it's a mixed bag with some lovely aspects but some significant downsides.
