Valentines stay!

Stayed for Valentine’s which included dinner (up to £40 Per Person) & breakfast. Main was ok but monkfish over cooked & pork under ( fat not rendered enough). They offered to take the fish main off the bill which was £32, as not finished & mentioned not the best. When we checked out the £32 was not put towards the drinks bill but as other than this we had a nice time & staff were great we never said anything. Overall good with great staff & fantastic breakfast. I would say could do with some updating in external areas but still enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful bolt hole particularly for couples

Lovely old coastal inn. Room small and cosy overlooking the slipway. Evening dinner was good but moderately pricey for wine. Breakfast was excellent and consumed at a very leisurely pace with lovely views. The hotel is on the coast path so beautiful walks for the more energetic. Parking free immediately behind hotel

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The staff are amazing. The food was amazing. The facilities were amazing and it is in a stunning location. Not for everyone though as it is very quiet. At least it is in December. We hope to return one day.

A really wonderful stay

The Lugger is a wonderful little hotel. An extremely warm welcome with the rarity of the being shown to your a nice touch. An even nicer touch is the turn-down service which includes a hot water bottle and chocolates. The room had everything I needed. A fridge with milk and water was very welcome. A generous fruit bowl was also a thoughtful touch. The general impression is that the hotel genuinely takes care to ensure guests feel welcome and have all they need. Clean and cosy,the room was a pleasure to stay in.
Not many hotels can boast this view outside reception.

A beautiful part of Cornwall to escape to for the weekend. The Lugger is in an amazing location - very quaint Cornish fishing cove. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, however we paid for an upgrade to deluxe but felt the room was still quite standard. There is room for improvement- eg lighting the fire in lounge area on a winters night and not using the entrance to main accommodation as storage area for the house keeping staff. We loved staying here but did feel it was overpriced for what you got.

Short notice booking for a job down in Cornwall turned into a pleasurable trip after staying at this fantastic hotel. The location was fantastic, the meals were great, it was just a shame I had to leave for my work appointment.

The Lugger is located in a small fishing village. The village is charming with renovated historic buildings and lovely gardens. There are no shops and just 2 restaurants in the village - the restaurant in The Lugger (excellent!) and The Ship Inn (authentic and good). The hotel restaurant has lovely views of the sea, with indoor and outdoor seating. It's nice to just spend the afternoon with a drink and take the sea view and quiet in. There is also a cozy lounge attached to the dining area. The location is perfect for walking the coastal path, napping and reading. If you wish to travel to other locations in either the surrounding area (beaches) or in Cornwall, a car is a must. You can travel there by train to Truro and take a taxi for about $50. The staff was lovely and helpful.
