Just returned from a 6 night stay at the hotel we had a super holiday. The hotel itself was modern chic in a beautiful victorian building. We stayed in an ocean view wing room which we were very pleased with albeit on the small side. However the view from the decked balcony went someway to compensate for this. The hotel... more

On first impressions, our room was great but on closer inspection, there were hairs in the bath, a constant hum of a generator in the car park and a bed that felt like it was going to collapse when you turned in it. Staff were ok, not overly friendly (bit too cool for school?) and it's very family-orientated so quite... more

All in all this is a great hotel. Great location, good stylish chic rooms. Lots of nice attentions to detail; Ipod dock in the room, balcony view of sea etc. Right by the sea and attached to the Surf Academy/ Jamie Olivers Fifteen restaurant etc Has a relaxed feel to it. Staff all kitted out in "White Stuff" clothes as... more

Loved the stay here, the whole room was lovely and the view and balcony outside was great. Parking was easy and very close to the hotel. The staff were a little unfriendly on arrival but just ignored this. Breakfast buffet the next day was superb..with everything you could possibly want and more all included in the price we paid. A... more

My husband and I have reflected on this review for a week, and time has probably mellowed our comments! Booked the coach house accomodation directly for one night to visit Jamie Oliver's Fifteen. If we had not booked the restaurant ( which was lovely) we would have left the hotel .Major problem with lack of car parking spaces caused us... more

We booked this hotel with Travel Zoo, a gourmet break with all meals included, including one at Jamie Oliver's 15 which is a short walk across a car park from the hotel. What has always put us off from going to Cornwall is the sheer distance and it is a bloomin' long way but once you get there it is... more

Just returned from a too brief stay at Watergate Bay and wish we could have stayed longer!From the moment we checked in everything was faultless.Reception staff were professional yet friendly and gave the impression they enjoyed working here.Location was superb with wonderful views of the ocean and beach.Our room (22-Superior Ocean View-well worth the extra)was really comfortable with great touches... more

We (sadly) only had one night here and enjoyed every minute. From checking in, dinner in the Brasserie and breakfast in the morning, everything was friendly, efficient and geared to make your stay enjoyable. Dinner was excellent and the choices at breakfast was great, if very bad for the waistline. This is a child and pet friendly hotel and as... more

Stayed in a ocean view room which is in the new wing of the hotel. Very friendly staff and overall the hotel was clean and quite well presented. However some paint work in the older part of the hotel could benefit from some attention and rooms are quite honestly extremely pricey given the minimalist decor and size, having said this... more
