Reviews and Ratings
My stay was a bit expensive at $195 for one night, and the room felt outdated and in need of renovation, almost like a pod dropped in. But the en-suite shower was a plus.
The hotel had a mixed experience with cozy rooms but mediocre dining options. The location was stunning, just a few steps away from the breathtaking cliffs. The service was satisfactory with convenient shuttle services available. Prices were reasonable but may not reflect the room quality entirely.
I felt like a royal nestled in this plush room in a castle-like setting. The room wasn't massive but still cozy, missing a few extra touches like bathrobes and cookies on the tea tray. The dining room was neat and well-organized, contributing to the castle ambiance.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, albeit spacious and comfortable with a sea view and a 4-poster bed, was let down by an airplane-like toilet and a bathroom reminiscent of a ferry. The lack of simple amenities like complementary biscuits and quality toiletries was disappointing. The location was undeniably stunning, perched on a cliff with breathtaking views of Tintagel Castle; however, the dining experience fell short with subpar dishes and a lackluster response to complaints.
The hotel is in a fabulous spot on the cliff top, with great views and dramatic coastal walks on your doorstep. The rooms offer fantastic views and feature an old-style quirky 4-poster bed, perfect for a few days away. However, noise from a yappy dog next door and discrepancies from the advertised photos were a slight downside.
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were unlike any other, with an elegant, carved 4-poster bed, comfortable chairs, and a high-spec bathroom, making it good value for money with a good enough size. The service was top-notch, with excellent housekeeping, airport shuttle, and a warm welcome drink. The location was outrageously perfect, offering breathtaking views within walking distance from the town and Tintagel Castle. The dining experience had its ups and downs but overall was nice with friendly staff. Facilities were modern and well-kept, enhancing the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with friendly staff in a lovely old building. However, the small porta-loos in the lobby as toilets were inconvenient, barely having enough space to close the door while on them, and the bathroom floor was soaked after a simple shower. Despite this, the issue was quickly resolved by moving me to another room that was promptly cleaned and checked.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were incredibly comfortable with a beautiful oak four-poster bed, but being close to the kitchen made it uncomfortably hot and sometimes smelled of food. The price for the night with breakfast and dinner was a bit steep, especially considering accessibility challenges for me with the pod in the bathroom due to my disabilities.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit disappointing as they felt like an old camper van unit, but the location was superb for those wanting to explore the coastal path. The dining options were limited and service was slow, but the stunning views made up for it.
