Location This hotel is in a spectacular location, above a lovely cove and a sandy beach in beautiful Kernow. There are paths leading down from the hotel to the cove. This is paradise for walkers. Check-in and out Efficient and helpful. Bedrooms We took two sea-view bedrooms. The beds were large and comfortable, there was plenty of storage space, a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. The only negative was soundproofing. Bar and restaurant Due to travelling with dogs, we ate all our meals in Vista restaurant which has superb views over the bay. Firstly, the food is punching about its weight for a 3-star hotel. Food quality and presentation at dinner and the cooked breakfast was very good. The continental offering at breakfast for Vista was very basic and poor quality. The service, however, left a lot to be desired at times. They seem to rely on young, local staff – which is great provided they have an aptitude for the work and are properly trained and managed, and there is enough staff to do the work. Many of the young staff showed great promise, given the right support and guidance. Leisure facilities Guests are limited to a 30-minute session in the pool and indoor hot-tub. I didn’t find this to be a relaxing experience. To sum up, it was great to see the Kernow flag’s prominence in this area and that the hotel is in touch with its local community. Unfortunately, not the type of hotel that we would stay in again for a number of reasons. Its 3-star rating is justified.
