Great hotel in perfect location
Pros:

The hotel was beautiful located near the harbour just above Rick Steins seafood restaurant. Light airy bedroom with facilities you would expect. Great breakfast (continental) a £10 extra charge per person for a cooked breakfast.All staff were polite and helpful. Restaurant food was great with great views over the harbour.

Cons:

One small elevator which at busy times took ages to call. A very tight car park £10 per day extra. Car park was always full at weekend. Complimentary gin in the room on the first night but not refilled on the subsequent 4 nights we stayed which was the same for the mini bar that was not restocked. The room was very hot the hotel did provide a fan but no air-conditioning. Nasty smell in the bathroom. The hotel advertises afternoon tea everywhere but disappointed to find out they needed 24 hours to book and prepare.

Whilst the location is perfect, it’s clear that the staff require on going training within the food service areas. Recep
Pros:

Location & airy hotel rooms

Cons:

No AC in the majority of rooms which during hot weather is very uncomfortable & does in no way match the room rate at approx £280 / night - however fans were provided & a cool room was provided only after discussion prior to arrival.
Stains on carpet to stairs & hallway.
Slack staff at Breakfast with tables not being cleared. This is an annoying g problem & needs to be addressed asap.

Great location. Great staff. Nice restaurant.
Pros:

Good location. Parking. Nice restaurant.

Cons:

3rd floor Room was cramped. Very hot. No a/c. Seagulls nested directly outside window. Had a gull sticking it head thru the shutters at 4:30 in morning. Not great value for money.

We were relocated to a much bigger room, which was much appreciated.

Very enjoyable but spoilt by the room temperature.
Pros:

It felt very elegant and special

Cons:

The one big problem was how uncomfortable and overbearing the temperature was in the room .Yes it was exceptionally weather but the UK does have periods of high temperatures , the hotel just wasn’t equipped or able to make the rooms comfortable, our sash windows only opened about 6 inches we had a tiny fan that couldn’t keep the room cooler in fact it contributed to the heat . It became unbearable so couldn’t wait to get out of room . It is a pity because it is a lovely hotel.
Investment in better and appropriately sized fans is a must

Enjoyable start and finish to our trip
Pros:

Great location in Padstow. Staff directed us to on street free parking a short distance from the hotel. We were walking part of the south west coast path and car parking is for residents only. It was very helpful as cheapest council car parking is for would have cost £30.00 for a week. Harbour car parking is would have been at least twice that cost so we were very happy with the advice. The car was in a residential area and very safe. Breakfast was good, extra cost for freshly prepared hot offerings but we found the continental breakfast very adequate. Dinner menu quite extensive, very competent staff all round. Would happily stay again

Cons:

Discretionary service charge added to final invoice for dinner which I was not aware of
