Good Hotel Guide Review

It feels a bit as if you’ve fallen down Alice’s rabbit hole, at this whimsical, dog-friendly hotel with a ‘spectacular bay setting’ by the Coast Path. In the cliff-top gardens, you might come across a fairy statue or a bench backed with a line of wooden budgies; within, it’s all zebra-print sofas and a cheery grandfather clock waving to guests. ‘The artwork is sometimes witty, sometimes kitsch,’ comments one reader. While it is a fun place, owners Teresa and Kevin O’Sullivan are serious about hospitality. ‘It is what a good hotel should be,’ writes a reader who found the hotel much improved on a return visit. ‘Service is excellent – they’ve got it just right.’ Bedrooms are light and airy with, maybe, a four-poster with diaphanous drapes, and a private terrace; some have a sea view, while others are in the garden annexe. ‘The room was comfortable, the food was good.’ In the restaurant and conservatory brasserie Nick Hawke’s locally sourced menus include a Cornish pork plate, and fresh fish and shellfish. ‘Delicious nibbles in the bar set the scene for locally caught fresh haddock and chips, a dream to eat.’ (Mike Craddock, and others)
