Stunning location, more so if you are visiting for the Art Deco/1920s experience.

Zoe United Kingdom

It was our first time at Burgh Island and we can honestly say it was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The hotel was utterly magnificent and beautifully restored to really encompass the 1920's. The location is spectacular and so beautiful. All of the staff were really friendly, helpful and so professional and went out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and at home. The food was delicious and beautifully presented by very talented chefs from the superb breakfast to the wonderful fine dining dinners. Getting dressed up for a fabulous evening in the ballroom and joining other guests in black tie and evening drees to dance the night away to a fantastic jazz band was just the best. A really memorable and fantastic experience from start to finish and we cannot thank the staff enough. We will definitely be back and hope to be there for a murder mystery in the future.

Mackintosh United Kingdom

Fantastic location. Art Deco ambiance and design details were exceptional. Ideal break for our special anniversary. The music in ballroom was superb and added to period atmosphere.

Scott United Kingdom

Absolutely excellent breakfast. Room small but fantastic view. As we expected. Food excellent but rather limited choice. Champagne on arrival an unexpected surprise, and birthday chocolates a thoughtful gesture.

Jackie United Kingdom

Everything it was an amazing experience. The staff, accommodation, food, pub, the walks, and the sea tractor; were all excellent.

Jacki United Kingdom

The hotel décor and atmosphere seem to be straight from the 1920s. Exceptional welcome and transport over to the island complete with a glass of champagne. Splendid black tie and 'vintage dress' code for dinner in the Grand Ballroom. Lovely bedrooms and ensuite with views of the sea and mainland. A great venue for couples or groups.

Lizybee United Kingdom

Great choice of breakfast options. Good food served by attentive staff. Very good ambience for the style of hotel. Very appreciative of champagne gift in recognition of a special birthday.

Elizabeth United Kingdom

Absolutely wonderful, such an ambience,one feels transported to an era of sheer elegance...so,in short,everything!

Peter United Kingdom

Art deco restoration. lovely walk around Island with superb views

Pauline United Kingdom

The room was excellent as was the even larger en-suite. The view from the room (Christie) was fabulous. The food was exceptional and served in very well measured portions, breakfast in particular. The staff were determined to ensure we had a good stay - which we certainly did.
