I attended this hotel for a one night stay The location of the hotel is excellent (straight on to the coastal path to Charlestown. Which is well worth a visit. St Austell beach stunning apart from the delapidated buildings) The hotel staff were friendly. Wes the chef is very enthusiastic and produces an excellent menu using fresh produce which is... More

I couldn't fault the staff at this hotel, they were so pleasant, polite & welcoming and nothing was too much trouble; I would definitely stay here again. The room was nicely appointed and comfortable as were the communal hotel areas; the swimming pool area needs some attention but I loved its rather faded grandeur ambiance and the water was lovely...

Booked at the absolute last minute after rejecting a booking elsewhere we arrived to receive excellent Reception service. My mother was upgraded to a double to ensure she was on the ground floor and at no extra expense to us. My 'double', shared with my wife was a lovely airy, bright, double aspect room (number 53), recently refurbished, and adequately... More

My husband and I were very disappointed with this Best Western as we'd expected more given the general good reputation of Best Westerns as well as the price we paid. It felt like we'd stepped back in time as the room we were given (double with adjoining children's bedroom) was dated and tired looking although reasonably clean. We certainly weren't... More

I was very disappointed with our recent stay at this hotel. Having been to other Best Western hotels I was expecting a high standard. The heating was not working on our arrival day until about 10 30pm. Lots of 'sorry it will be working soon' but no portable heaters in rooms nor the lounge nor restaurant. No offer of compemsation...

Ok, hands up. On this occasion we got it wrong. It was unfortunate that a burst pipe caused a problem with the heating and we had limited portable heaters. The big difference between us and Fawlty Towers is that Basil didn’t care and we most certainly do, so if you would like to discuss your stay further, please contact me... More

We stayed here for two nights in April. It's a pretty average hotel but then it was quite cheap, our room was a bit run down but very clean. Staff were attentive and professional as you would expect from a big hotel chain.

We stayed for 4 nights on a coach tour. We had a two bedded room with all the usual facilities. Our main concern was the room heating. The engineer spent most of our second day putting it right. There were one or two minor inconveniences like the sink plug which would not quite seal the sink so that the tap... More

I have just returned from a 3 night stay in the Cliff Head Hotel with all my family for a 70th Birthday celebration. We found the hotel delightful, in a quiet location within walking distance of a beautiful beach. The rooms are comfortable and many with lovely sea views.
