The room was fantastic and can’t be faulted. However what makes this hotel a cut above the rest is the staff; they go out of their way to be kind and helpful. Literally nothing is too much for them
They are all truly wonderful
Highly recommend this hotel in the stunning Lizard

Comfortable room. Easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Host Mary was exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful (gluten free food, booking taxi etc.). We are a retired couple walking the South West Coast Path and would stay here again.

Perfect - the Housel room (the rooms has names and not numbers) is very nice, and the Lizard town itself is stunning and a must visit if you are in the area.
