Gorgeous hotel

The staff were very good, room was excellent. Was let down by breakfast on day 2, the restaurant was full despite taking bookings for what time, and they forgot about my food, probably because I was in the great hall on my own.

Underwhelmed hotel

Hotel looks impressive from the outside and main reception however our room was far from it. Very disappointed. Bathroom was a "caravan pod" and tiny. Bedroom had mold up the walls and paint flaking everywhere

Liked: Cleanliness
Reasonably priced single bed stay for 2 nights. Beautiful and historic building. Features of a stately home. The view over the cliffs to the sea was amazing. A single room included a toilet & shower plastic cubicle that was too small for me and I suggest for many adults. The door to the cubicle had to be opened to enable you to sit down on the toilet, before closing again. The lock on the door was a keyed 'night lock', which offers very little security whether you are in the room or elsewhere. Polite and welcoming staff. Comfortable and peaceful bar, sitting areas and restaurant. Lovely coffee. Breakfast included many choices of quality food. The evening menu was traditional and of a very good quality. There was also a Pizza menu until 9pm. I would recommend this hotel but don't expect a modern hotel experience but maybe, that is the point.

A last minute stay, room was outdated and in need of some TLC. Disappointed as no water on a hot day (27c) or biscuits or chocolate drink as this is usually the standard for most these days. I dont think the menu has changed much since we last visited. Love the area with plenty to do and see.

It was a beautiful place and the view was spectacular. However the first thing I saw when entering the hotel was a large picture of Trump, Melania and the owner of the hotel. I did not go to the hotel to see a picture of a convicted felon and it turned me off immediately.

Wonderful location and very unique. Hotel could do with some modernisation although would need to be done carefully not to take away the character of the hotel. Standard rooms are very small, the bathroom is basically something you’d find from a cruise ship cabin infact probably smaller, if you are anything bigger than average you simply wouldn’t fit in the showe, luckily not the case for us but worth noting. Staff are very attentive, views from the hotel are simply incredible

Great location but past its best

Staff were excellent. The hotel is on a great location and has character in abundance and old style charm in keeping with the history of this victorian building. It has grandeur. BUT for the price it needs some tlc. The bar, restaurant and lounge were OK but the stairs and landings look shabby with old discoloured carpeting and flaking paintwork. It looks past its best and needs sympathetic redecoration. My room was also a bit shabby, window was very old and didn't shut properly. Furniture was very dated. Given some refurbishment this hotel xould be glorious again, to match its history and awesome location.

Nice location and scenery. Nice views.

Pretty from the outside. However price of breakfast was far too high for what was received. The service was fine, but disappointed in the breakfast and price. In house dining a bit pricey too even for 4 star.

This is a very old, authentic property with huge rooms with retro fitted, prefab, ensuite. Very compact. Larger than average size people would struggle with this arrangement. Views to the ocean & over Tintagel Castle are pretty special. It’s a fun place to stay, as it is packed full of artwork, wall hangings, hunting trophies. The food was excellent. We had both dinner & English breakfast during our stay. Beautifully presented & delivered by staff. Bakery in town (walking distance) does great food too.
