Good Hotel Guide Review

In ‘one of the most idyllic spots ever’, this dog-friendly hotel ‘near the end of an extremely narrow lane’ overlooks pretty cliff-top gardens filled with larky sculpture and Wonderland whimsy. The playfulness extends to zany public spaces inside, where wall sculpture might include a full-size pair of legs or part of a table and chair. Bedrooms have colourful wallpapers and fabrics, perhaps with a nautical or woodland theme. ‘Room 20, overlooking the gardens to the sea, had a terrace, a hot tub and plenty of space.’ The food gets a big thumbs up, although readers who stayed for a week thought ‘it would have been nice if they changed the menu a bit more often’. On Sundays the lunchtime roast appears again at dinner. Typical dishes might include Looe plaice Grenobloise, loin of venison or, if you will, haddock and chips. There is praise for the ‘enthusiastic staff’ and the easy way they accommodated dietary restrictions. A breakfast of smoked haddock, St Ewe eggs or a full Cornish supplies the ballast for a hike on the South West Coast Path, while later in the day, you can try the hotel’s own-label gin on the terrace.
