Top Cornwall Hotel Reviews

St. Mellion Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Always a comfortable stay and views across the golf course are scenic. For us visiting families , it's an ideal position. The bar is quite boisterous at times with large groups of golfers meeting up before and after tournaments, but of course it is a busy golf centre. The facilities at the health spa are excellent swimming pools and changing facilities are spacious."

The Lugger Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with restaurant downstairs, useful for bed and breakfast and getting dinner in the evening. Nice staff, had a nice sized room. Lovely sea views from front of property. Easy access by walking 10 minutes or less by car to Penzance train station and the town. Great if you want to explore the area, st Ives 25 mins by train and st Michael’s Mount 3 miles are nearby with great transport links by bus and train."

The Atlantic Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel well situated for Fistral Beach and for access to the town. Our room had a great view of the sea. We enjoyed the breakfast service with the polite and attentive staff. The housekeeping was a little hard to come by - you need to request it which is fine but nobody told us! However the rooms were very clean. This is an old building which was not designed with AC and whilst we had a fan to keep noir room cool I think it could be inconsiderable in very hot weather. Check out at 11am seems a little early but there is a lounge you can stay in."
