The Godolphin Shortlist*
Marazion, Cornwall
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘If hotels had personalities, this one would be a cheerful extrovert.’ Across the causeway from St Michael’s Mount, this bright, south-facing restaurant-with-rooms shares the energy of its ‘young and enthusiastic’ staff. ‘Tactfully modernised and enlarged’, it is decorated with uplifting coastal colours and local artwork. ‘Smart, modern’ bedrooms face the village or the sea; the view over Mount’s Bay is worth the upgrade. ‘Our sea-view balcony was sunny from lunchtime on.’ Caught-that-day seafood is a highlight of the short, ‘fresh, tasty’ menu served in the breezy restaurant and beachfront terrace (‘a pity the menu doesn’t change more regularly’). Breakfast includes a full Cornish and a veggie shakshuka.

If hotels had personalities, this would be a cheerful extrovert. It faces due south and has been tactfully modernised to make the most of the light which streams in. It is run by a young and enthusiastic staff who genuinely seemed to care for their guests. The only criticism I would make is that the menu is limited and, apart from a fish special each day, unchanging.

Magical sunset views from the bistro. Excellent cod and chips. Breakfast less successful but the fresh fruit plate was enticing. Service was swift and friendly. My room was comfortable and spotless.

My partner, our dog and I had a fabulous week. The room was excellent, of good size with a larger than normal bathroom. The food, including a super Christmas lunch was fresh and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive. A smart hotel in a beautiful setting, with a professional management and staff.
