Review summary
Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the hotel's location, finding it conveniently close to Trevaunance Cove, with its wild sea views and access to activities like swimming and surfing. Many enjoy the convenience of having a reserved parking space. The pub's selection of beers, especially those brewed just across the road, is also a common highlight; however, some guests have found that noise from the surrounding area can sometimes be noticeable. Breakfast is generally well-regarded, often described as freshly cooked and featuring a variety of options served in a sea-facing room, while dinner in the dining area is noted for its delicious, fresh produce.

charmed stay near the sea

excellent breakfasttasty beersgreat locationfriendly staff
I enjoyed the tasty beers from the brewery, conveniently located opposite the hotel. The hotel had a GREAT location, just 100 meters from the sea. It is a surfer's paradise. The cooked breakfast was excellent, and I appreciated the quality coffee. Staff members were friendly and efficient, a real plus.
The room could have been tidier, just a minor point though.

Breakfast service included fresh fruit juice, cereal, yogurt, toast, and pastries. The cooked options were prepared to order, not buffet style. Dinner in the dining area impressed me. Produce was fresh, and cooking standards were high.
