We had our Mini honeymoon here before new York! We just wanted to say thank you so so much for our upgrade ❤️
Everything was unbelievable, we can't wait to come back and stay with you again.

We would like to mention the young girl on the front desk who showed us around, fantastic!

Also to the two lads who did our hot stone massage! Fantastic 😊

Pros:

Tolle Lage, tolles Spa, tolles Frühstück

Cons:

Dass Babies zeitlich unlimitiert mit in ein Becken im Spa mitgenommen werden durften (habe diesbezüglich extra noch nachgefragt), halte ich für hygienisch bedenklich und ein wenig grauslich, da man sich gut vorstellen konnte, was im warmen Wasser da passiert ....

Pleasant Stay but a little overrated.
Pros:

The staff were amazing! Very friendly and attentive.
We also loved the AquaClub. Very relaxing and added luxury.

Cons:

We found the hotel room to be small, hot and dated.
We had a larger suitcase and it overtook the room. The furniture was dated. Pillows were very soft and uncomfortable and the room had no air-con and was uncomfortably warm.

Exceptional few days. Very pleasant staff in all areas of the hotel
Pros:

It is a unique location within Newquay and probably Cornwall.

Cons:

Soft comfortable chair in the room. A rattan dining chair does not hit the 5 star level.
