We stayed 2 nights at this lovely hotel in Padstow. We were given a garden room which had lovely views over the estuary. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. We ate in the hotel conservatory the 1st night and the food was 1st class. The breakfastwas excellent and was served in the restaurant with lovely views over the... more

Staff very helpful and friendly. Hotel furnishing needs up-dating. But was clean. Food in hotel restaurant excellent, better than Rick Steins Bistro by far and a more relaxed atmosphere. Would go back. more

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and tidy with a great view over the estuary. The food was brilliant well prepared and piping hot. Wide choice of menus. Ideal location for expoloring Cornwall. well worth a visit. Facilities were comfortable with enough easy chairs in the lounges for all the guests to relax. more

Was therefore pleasantly surprised to be very warmly welcomed by the friendly check-in staff, who got us into our room very quickly and with the minimum effort. The room itself (No.... more

Our 2 day stay was booked several months in advance and we were looking foward to staying in a high standard Hotel with a high standard room, However the reality was very different. We had room 8 on the first floor. The room was tired and worn out and not particularly clean. The tiled floor of the bathroom had either... more

Have just come back from a 2 night stay and can only agree with other comments. Hotel in good location but that's the only good thing going for it. The Hotel needs a lot of money spending on it. The tarriff for Bed & Breakfast I thought was very expensive for the size of our room and the quality of... more
