St Mellion is 'ok' but needs to be updated
Pros:

It's ok...just ...needs updating. Only stay here when I need to when other hotels are full. Just feels unloved now. Please spend some money updating this place. Or just leave it for golfers.

Cons:

It's just 'ok'. Food is pretty terrible. It's a golf hotel so maybe the golfers are happy but as a hotel guest it is really starting to fall behind everyone else. Unless you really need to be here I would recommend elsewhere. I am sure when it opened it looked amazing but now the carpets are worn, rooms looking worn...food is awful. did I mention the food? Young staff never seem particularly pleased that there are guests to attend to. Breakfast overpriced and underwhelming.

A great stay
Pros:

Breakfast was good lots of choices, and was nice and hot.
Food in the evening again good choices on menu food was excellent could not fault it.
Room was lovely great view of golf course.
Spa area lovely nice and clean.

Cons:

Could definitely benefit from a little maintenance of the mouldy silicone around bath /floor and just a little tidy up in bathroom in rooms . Jacuzzi could do with being a bit hotter in the spa. Other than that it’s a great place

Pros:

Room overlooking 18th fairway.
Nicklaus course in good condition.

Cons:

No buggies on Nicklaus course, paths only resulting in walking further.
Floorboards creaked everywhere, corridors, rooms, balcony.
Bedside lamp did not work.
Carpets torn and dirty throughout the hotel, corridors, room etc.
Tired and dated room.
No smart TV.
No proper coffee machine, just a kettle and sachets.
Full English buffet was cold despite 7.10am. Eggs, bacon, sausages all watery.
Paid extra £100 for balcony room, only to find you cannot smoke out there.
Rooms far too expensive for what they are, not a 4 star.
Superior room no different to standard room apart from price and useless balcony.

Pros:

Beautiful location, the room was very spacious with lovely views across the countryside. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the geese. We had everything we needed for an overnight stay, also made use of access to the spa facilities

Wouldn’t choose to stay again
Pros:

Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable beds

Cons:

Not very nice communal bar area, bland and boring and dated. Breakfast very bland with no personality, could be so much better as the golfing looked incredible so disappointed inside.

Pros:

Sorry for the delay of our review, myself and finance stayed here for one night to celebrate 20 years together and what an amazing time we had, would like to say a huge thank you , as when we arrived and checked into our room we had a lovely card from the staff and petals on the bed , we used the pool and jacuzzi on the day we arrived and on departure, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

The perfect spa weekend
Pros:

I really enjoyed the spa area with the pool, sauna and hot tub, the gym was very interactive and fun and I loved the house that we got.

Cons:

I didn't really like that the parking didn't have enough space for us to park our car especially around after lunch time when everyone is at the pool.
