We were unable to eat breakfast. We were going to the boat to the Scilly Isles. You need to tell them if you need an early breakfast beforehand so they can schedule the staff.

Gillian Canada

I've stayed before, and will happily stay again if I am working in the area. Lovely quiet village but with easy links into Penzance and southern Cornwall. Staff and locals very friendly. Vegetarian breakfast is good.

Susan United Kingdom

Beautiful setting, lovely sea view from our room. lovely village, plenty of parking. staff were really friendly and the food was beautiful. Plenty of drink selection.

Bethany United Kingdom

A lovely. place to stay. The room was on the small side, nicely decorated, comfortable bed, great bathroom. The staff were friendly and polite. Fantastic evening meal would definitely recommend having a meal here. also a good breakfast with plenty of choices.

Tracy United Kingdom

Loved the room and excellent shower. Very friendly staff quick to respond when I needed anything. Ate a delicious meal there as well and very tasty breakfast too. Beautiful location.

Honer United Kingdom

We were welcomed with open arms, even though we were a couple of hours early. The room was modern, clean and kitted out with everything you could need and expect. We stayed for dinner and the food was delicious, with generous portions at competitive prices. The staff were very friendly, attentive and clearly enjoyed their jobs. The evening was rounded off with a visit from the Mousehole Sea Shanty Singers, who had just finished practicing in the Church next door. After much singing, we returned to our room with a broad smile on our faces. Thanks for a great evening!

William United Kingdom

Staff were very friendly, parking was easy and food was exceptional.

Small, typically English hotel in a lovely country village. Very warm welcome and great atmosphere in the restaurant where we had a great evening chatting with the local guests. Nice little comfortable room.
