Wouldn't stay there again. Not worth it. Would pay a bit more and stay somewhere else. When checking in the receptionist didn't know anything. Every question I asked she seemed to want to answer something different - not actually answering the question. Not the first person you want to see when you first come to a place. Was she on work experience or something? Anyway the supervisor who was there the next day was excellent.

Nicely positioned hotel for what we needed. Comfortable room though a little warm at night as the supplied fan wasn't up to the job. All staff very accommodating. The pool was a little cool for us. Loveley seating in the reception area watching Fistral beach .Overall a nice hotel and the 2nd visit for us . Parking difficult as the whole road was full due to half term.

We emailed hotel and requested an accessible bathroom with shower due to husbands spinal surgery and was given an inaccessible bathroom. He could not get in the bathroom at all due to its small size. WE had to use communal shower in pool area. Room was cleaned daily. Reception staff and restaurant/bar staff were all fantastic. Hotel location is great for beach views.

Lack of parking for blue badge holders

Not disability friendly no priority parking for blue badge holders rang beforehand to book a parking spot was told I couldn’t Although staff did eventually find a parking spot I found the parking experience distressing There was a parking space for disabled not in a suitable place as it blocked the entrance and space was limited I did complain to hotel but there was no commitment to improving things

Beautiful location, friendly staff who are trying their best to help, the room was clean, and the food was nice. Things that need improvement: the lift is very small, jerky and making sounds that made us feel that it might has got stuck every time we used it, so we avoided it despite the fact that we had a 70+ years old person who does struggle with stairs. This is the only hotel we came across with in the last few years which doesn't have USB outlets and air conditioners. In a way it was our fault for bringing just the leads with us. Luckily, the receptionist was able to find a plug with USB, which we could borrow. The main discomfort was the absence of the air conditioner. The weather was quite hot, so we could really feel it. We did open the window, but not too wide as it was not very straight, so I was worried it will break if I try to open it any wider. Our room looked at the back, so there wasn't much breeze coming in. It did not help that when we tried to use the shower for the first time, only boiling hot water was running no matter what we did. It turned the whole room into a sauna until a security guy got it sorted. It was already evening, and he happened to be around the reception, and was very helpful. Overall, I think it's a very good hotel in a stunning location, and nice staff. If you use it in a cool weather, have your USB charger with a plug, and not too worried about the lifts, you will have a wonderful time. We just seem to be a bit unlucky this time.
