Travellers' Choice
A classic seaside hotel re-invented. That's the ethos behind the St. Enodoc Hotel in Rock with its emphasis on comfort, design and great food. Positioned above the Camel Estuary with sweeping views across the water, it is the perfect place to relax by the sea. Leave the car and walk the few minutes to surrounding sandy beaches and take the foot-ferry to Padstow. With an endless supply of quality produce in the local area, Head Chef Guy Owen and his team will be focusing on fresh, healthy, modern recipes.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Down in cornwall on monthly business trip Usually stay at the plume in Mitchell but full have also used Bedruthan and Watergate bay quite a bit St enodoc is easily comparable Reminded me a lot, decor wise, to Bedruthan Room (room 222) was big and comfy Not sure there was a lift? Quite a trudge to top floor after all day on the farm :) AC was handy Don’t like showers in baths (but that’s just me) the bathrooms at the Plume take some beating frankly Cornish traditional breakfast was great Service prompt too Didn’t have dinner Competitive room rate

We had a very nice 2 night stay at this lovely hotel. Great location which was ideal as a base for walks. The gardens are meticously maintained and the pool looked inviting even at this time of the year. Car park has nice wide spaces for modern cars. Our room was located on the second floor with fabulous views over the estuary. The room was well furnished, well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The Taste of Enodoc package includes a meal in the Brasserie and a 9 course tasting menu in the Karrek restaurant. The food was excellent at both restaurants but special mention to Eve for hosting us through the Karrek tasting menu which was a fantastic experience

Stayed here for 3 enjoyable nights. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, simply but tastefully decorated and even included a kitchen sink and microwave. The bathroom had plenty of space for toiletries (surprisingly very few do) but the lighting was very poor. We both made use of the heated outdoor pool. One area for improvement would be the speed of breakfast service. Having 2 courses to order and bring from the kitchen will always be slower than the starter buffet + cooked dish to order model but even then it was slower than it should be…..and we were not in a rush. Having said that the food was of excellent quality and there was enough to avoid the need for anything other than a snack for lunch.

Another wonderful stay at St Enodoc. Warm, relaxed, intimate atmosphere, ever-friendly staff, wonderful food (my wife can't get enough of the hispi cabbage) and big, beautiful views from our estuary-view window. Special mention goes to Nadia at the Spa; my 90 min massage may have been the Best Massage I've Ever Had. Can't wait to return. Thanks from Wendy, Bowie the Dog and I.

Great location but very little ambience. Breakfast was good but the restaurant was dull with limited choice. Cost was high and did not quite deliver the luxury the price deserved. Staff were helpful and friendly but the Hotel, just like Rock, had no core attraction!

Dear 89BrianB, thank you for your review however I am disappointed to hear some of these points. I am surprised that you felt our prices were high, we strongly believe that we offer incredible value for our rooms and menus. I am not sure what core attraction you were looking for from the hotel or from Rock but we believe it is one of the most beautiful coastal parts of the UK - but each to their own!

Great staff, friendly and efficient. Lovely food, tasty, imaginative and beautifully presented. This evening a nice whole plaice and delicious pork. Our meals not too large for our appetites. We weren’t staying this time but know that the hotel has comfortable lounges and dining room, with delightful views. Rooms vary in size but are fresh and well equipped. We have been many times and look forward to the next visit.

A fabulous evening of excellence food experience. Martyn , the chef created a super 6 course tasting menu which accommodated one Gluten Free, one no cheese and one no seafood diners. We all had an excellent evening helped by Matt and Meghan who presented the food and wine with aplomb and enthusiasm. We would love to return.

Our third visit and St Enadoc remains a favourite, especially now we have a dog. The hotel enjoys a lovely position overlooking the Camel estuary and is set in a lot of land with ample garden space for relaxation/sitting around. There’s also a heated, well maintained outdoor pool. It’s modern, comfortable and stylishly designed rather than Cool, or luxurious: a proper seaside hotel. Rooms vary in size and aspect so choose carefully: one sea view room at least takes dogs. Food at dinner very good with some imaginative veggie options and half board makes it very good value. Friendly informal service but still professional and efficient.

My wife and I recently stayed at the St Enodoc hotel for four nights. What a treat it was as well! The welcome at reception was very friendly even though we arrived early and were drenched through (and were happy to take our wet walking boots and put them in the laundry room to dry overnight!) We were shown to our nice, spacious, room with estuary view on the second floor. The bed was very comfortable and there was a good-sized desk and chairs to relax on, with a super view over Rock and the Camel estuary. The bathroom was very good with a bath / shower and very nice Land and Water shower and bath amenities. There were plenty of towels refreshed daily as needed. Being able to have a bath after a day of cliff-walking is definitely a big plus. There was also plenty of wardrobe space and hangers - as well as lots of cupboard space. Fresh bottled water was also provided daily as well. The team were also more than happy to provide fresh milk for tea / coffee in your room, given the kettle and mugs that were provided. One final point, given the wet weather we endured, is that the rooms were very warm (no shirking on heating to save costs). There were also really good, sensible, windows to deal with the weather - which included 50mph winds while we were there. For those on B&B packages the cooked breakfasts were wonderful - with beautifully fresh eggs (cooked how you wanted) to go alongside a classic Cornish breakfast (the sausages and bacon were also first class) and a choice of cereals and pastries as well as juices and hot drinks. Even when we needed to be out of the hotel by 8am one day - breakfast starts at 7.30 - the team had us fed and ready in good time - without us feeling as though we had rushed - first class service! One of the best 'a la carte' breakfasts we have had. We were also on the package that included dinner in brasserie. The chef has previously worked in Michelin starred restaurants and the quality showed. As might be expected in a costal location the fish was outstanding - my wife had both the Plaice and Hake dishes on various nights, while I stuck with the meat and enjoyed an excellent pork loin dish as well as a great sophisticated burger and super hot chips. Desserts were also excellent. If this was the quality of the Brasserie - the fine dining mush be outstanding! The other thing that struck us was how much care and attention have been paid to the wonderful gardens. The Hotel employs two full time gardeners and they have done great things - if you like what you see, you can buy cuttings - but then all the proceeds go to local charity. In summary, this was a wonderful place to be based for our trip to North Cornwall, and we would unhesitatingly recommend it - both the hotel and the brasserie.
