Hotels Near Butterhole Beach in Padstow

We have visited this Travelodge a number of times as it is so well placed for the Camel Trail and other parts of North Cornwall and it represents great value for money. Always a friendly welcome. Always very clean and well presented and comfortable rooms. It is a Travelodge so you know what you are getting, but it doesn't disappoint. I had contact with the Manager, Emma, prior to our visit. She was very helpful and accommodating and replied to my queries very quickly and positively. Only an overnight for us from Devon to Cornwall but thoroughly enjoyable as always. Thank you.

The hotel is in a suburb, the suburb of Bodmin, next to a highway service toll station, but there are few food at the toll station, just McDonald's, Subway and a Coop supermarket. If you want to go to Bodmin town for a meal, you can't do it without a car. Because it takes more than 2 hours to walk. So in theory, it should be normal to take away food. We bought food and prepared to eat in the hotel lobby, and then the front desk staff came and said that you can't eat, our place provides meals, and you can't eat takeaway food. To be honest, this is the first time I heard this reason. I'm not sitting in your restaurant, can't I eat takeaway in the lobby? I've stayed in many HIXes in the UK, and I came across this one, which was arrogant and acted like it had a reason. Other HIXes will let you use plates and knives and forks. This one will only drive people away. I thought they wanted me to buy their wine, so we bought it, and after buying it, they still drove people away. It was really annoying. Later I thought he was discriminating. Because the table next to me was eating pizza, so, see.

I did not stay here I am reviewing the bar restaurant at the hotel which I visited a number of times on my holiday in the area. The bar is wonderful sitting inside or out for its fabulous views of the beach and coastline. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's clean bright and airy. We did have some nachos to share as a snack but whilst they were nicely presented, hot and crisp, the ingredients were not fresh. I don't mean they were past their best but the salsa was obviously from a jar or the like and so was the guacamole as it had the texture and appearance of light green custard rather than being made from avocado. It just tasted savory rather than tasting like guacamole and the cheese used was very mild grade, not being very tasty.

Reviewing for the restaurant, I haven't stayed at the hotel but if it is anything like their food and service, then top drawer. Visited around a dozen times for their very unique Sunday roasts. Massive platter filled with your choice of roast meat and a massive helping of vegetables, roast spuds etc. Way too much for two sharing, really! If you are wanting a desert then good luck, I'm stuffed!

I had booked The Bodmin Jail Hotel for my daughter's 18th birthday surprise. We weren't disappointed. From the moment we arrived, we couldn't have been made more welcome. The hotel was very quiet, probably due to being a mid-week in mid-October, so I'm not sure when the hotel is at full capacity whether the same would be said, but for us we enjoyed the peace & quiet of not being disturbed. The rooms (unsurprisingly, given the thick walls) were totally quiet and super comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, the towels fluffy, plenty of hot water and soft bath robes, along with beautiful-smelling amentities. There were tea/coffee making facilities in the room, but my only (very very minor) gripe was that there was literally only 1 decaf tea bag in comparison to about 10 sachets of coffee. I could have asked for more, I know, but I had brought my own so didn't bother. A complimentary mini-bar is a nice touch, too. The staff were lovely. Being so quiet, occasionally it was hard to find someone, especially when we went for a drink in the Champagne Bar in the evening, but all staff members were lovely. I had planned a surprise of some balloons and a birthday banner for my daughter in our room on arrival, and this was handled perfectly, even with the addition of a birthday cake made out of towels - a fantastic touch. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful and served in the beautiful chapel. All in all, we had a great stay and would thoroughly recommend it as an unusual destination. If you book directly with the hotel, you get complimentary access to the Bodmin Jail Museum. Be prepared, though, it's not much of a laugh (given its subject matter) and quite dark and scary, especially at the beginning, so if you don't like the dark, loud noises and being shut into underground spaces, perhaps give it a miss! I'm glad we went, though, as it really gave me an insight into just how horrific our prison system used to be.

Such a good price for the location and the room, we had a sea view and the room was so clean and very modern I thought! Bathroom very small but didn’t really bother us you get what you pay for, we had bottles of water and little shampoo and conditioners and even a hair dryer and fan! Ideal! Perfect location in the middle of town! The Bed was the cosiest bed I have ever slept in, even better than my own haha! Staff very nice especially the male bar tender, super friendly and welcoming!
