The Old success inn is in a beautiful location. Check in was very smooth and the member of staff was very attentive and explained everything we needed to know. We stayed here with the view to doing parkrun at Lands End and on the website it shows breakfast is from 8am-11am, he was adamant it was only till 10am but made a note we'd be back in time. I since checked and their website does say 11am so be careful here. Our room was in the adjoining out door block. Very spacious and nicely decorated however the mould on the blinds wasn't so pleasant. We had an evening meal in the restaurant, i had the trout special which I have to say was lovely however literally a few hours after going to bed I woke clammy with cramps and spent till 2am with sickness & diarrheoa. I felt better the next day however come the evening i worsened again leaving me unable to eat my evening meal or breakfast and another night in the bathroom. On arrival home I then spent another 3days unwell. It does look like it was from the fish! I did email the hotel to make them aware but didn't get a reply. If this hadn't have happened it would have made our stay far more enjoyable.

I went for my birthday & chose the hotel for the location, stunning views & closeness to the Minack theatre. Stunning location, right on the beach, the staff were very attentive and couldn't have done more and all in all made it a very special stay for my birthday.

Had a lovely stay at The Old Success Inn. We booked a room with sea view and were not disappointed. The breakfast was really good and kept us going well into the day. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was really good. Only issue was the bathroom fan was really loud, however forgot to tell them this when checking out, so hopefully they will read this review. Overall thought the stay was great.

Room was clean and comfortable, well equipped and supplied. Location is amazing, right next to the beach. Perfect views Breakfast excellent, good quality and a huge choice. Best of all were the staff - all very welcoming and helpful, in a natural, non-corporate. Congrats to them all. Only downside was the room - number 15 - which has poor sound isolation from reception and bar. It has windows that are overlooked by the terrace so you have the noise and the lack of privacy following from that. I’ve given five stars because of the outstanding staff but I would only stay here again if I was sure to avoid that room.

Fantastic view, lovely food

We were able to check in early which was a nice touch, as were the complementary drinks and snacks. We ate outside in the afternoon and the burger was delicious. The bed was a bit on the soft side for my liking but I had a wonderful night’s sleep. Breakfast was lovely, but it is cooked to order so factor that into your timing. All in all a wonderful stay, will definitely be back

Love this Inn - charming & luxurious but unfortunately has some downsides which they probably can’t fix due to the age of the building & regulations. Absolutely stunning room, the best bed I’ve ever slept in was simply amazing! Water pressure in the shower along with lack of hot water was disappointing to say the least even when used at random times. Windows are only able to open 3” which is probably some random health & safety law but again disappointing to have an amazing view spoiled. Staff are exceptional and will go out of their way to help with any queries.
