10/10 Exceptional

We had a gorgeous room over looking the harbour. It was beautiful. The staff are friendly, the room was clean and well equipped. We had bath robes in the wardrobe and a beach bag. There wasn’t any noise heard from the bar below. Parking was tricky but we managed to get a space on the harbour. Would go back 100%.

Staff were lovely, especially the delightful lady at breakfast. Situated right in front of the harbour and an easy walk around the town. We were able to park easily. Unfortunately, our room was not clean, the main light was not working and the shower was also not functioning properly.

The ONLY place to stay in this part of Cornwall!

The ONLY place to stay in this part of Cornwall! On the waterfront, literally, sunset and sunrise from your bed - both incredible in mid October. Wonderful, warm, fun and kind staff. Superb pub quiz. Delicious breakfast and supper. Super dog friendly. Heavenly comfy bed.
