It's always difficult when you're going away to somewhere when you have read negative feedback - like some of the comments on TripAdvisor. However having just spent a weekend there I can thoroughly recommend The Lugger. Situated in a very pretty Cornish fishing village - where everyone is doing their bit to win the Best Kept Village trophy again, the... more

This is a small hotel, with excellent service, a calm and serene atmosphere and the most lovely setting. The food was outstanding, the room lovely, and little touches made this stay all the more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful and the village is delightful. A nearby pub offers an alternative simple menu for dinner and if you go... more

Top-class hotel and extremely good value for money. We had been driving around the coast that evening and wanted a hotel to stay for the night. We stumbled upon this hotel in the little fisherman village of Portloe very late in the evening. We felt so welcomed at the hotel and were given an executive room with breakfast and dinner... more

This is very expensive and overrated. Portloe is lovely but the hotel only average. No hairdryer in the room, t.v faulty. Breakfast poor compared to much cheaper hotels, supermarket croissants and poor quality fruit. Had to ask 6 times to get a glass of water and the restaurant was the worst we ate at in Cornwall, fish rubbery...when we complained... more

Thank you for taking the time to write a response on Trip Advisor. I was saddened to hear that your experience at the Lugger Hotel did not meet your expectations. In response to your opinions, I can confirm that we have hairdryers in all rooms and if one is found to be absent, then we have many to hand for...

I'm not normally one for writing reviews, but after reading some of the reviews on here I thought I would. The Lugger is in a fantastic location, which in itself makes for a great stay, but that is not all that the Lugger offers. This was our third stay at the Lugger and I can honestly say every time it... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at The Lugger Hotel's Cottage Suite. We arrived just too late for lunch, but were offered afternoon tea and sandwiches, which we ate in the comfortable lounge. This was a good start and the staff were friendly and professional. Small problems occurred the longer we stayed, however, that,... more

However, I was saddened that your expectations of the Lugger Restaurant were not met by myself or my colleagues. The points you raise are valid and I am delighted to announce the following...

We just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Lugger. Comfortable rooms, even mini cafetiere and fresh milk provided, the atmosphere is low key and relaxed. The setting is spectacular, we stepped directly out for cliff walks before breakfast each morning, so we could give full attention to proper poached eggs and light as air fried bread. We had only... more

We nearly stayed at The Lugger Hotel in January 2008, but having read some unfavourable reviews and been less than reassured by the response from the hotel when questioned about this, we decided to give it a miss. However, we were persuaded by Giles Coran's review in The Times that it was worth a punt! On arrival we were warmly... more

We stayed at The Lugger for our son's wedding and we had a wonderful time. The staff could not do enough for everybody. They were very attentive and friendly, what the younger one's lacked in experience they made up in enthusiasm and helped the whole event to go like clockwork. Caroline marshalled her troops calmly and efficiently and no request... more
