Amazing stay
Pros:

Stayed here at the end of an explore of Cornwall and it was the best place to stay! Tucked away in a very pretty corner of the world. All the stay were amazing super helpful and polite. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the ocean and lighthouse. When we arrived we were told about a small private cove you could walk down to for a swim in the sea which was a great experience and the hotel even supplied beach towels ! The hotel has two restaurants one for fine dining and a normal one. We tried the normal restaurant and the food was really really good too! All in all amazing would stay again it’s in a lovely place

Lovely little break 😀
Pros:

We had a small room but we didn’t mind because we were out most of the day. We found the menu limiting but ate out. The service very good. The views from the garden were excellent and staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful stay.

Pros:

Infissi obsoleti; arredi e letti Ikea; insonorizzazione inesistente (tanto che si sente chiunque parli in corridoio o nelle stanze accanto); inservienti delle pulizie rumorose e che aprono la porta della camera alle 8 am …non proprio standard adeguati all’immagine prestigiosa che si vuole vendere!
Location impagabile!

Be warey.
Pros:

Be wary of breakfast charges, paid £18.00 for bowl of cereal and a slice of toast! It is not clear at all that anything you have for breakfast is £18.00. Also charged £13.75 per night for my Collie dog but absolutely no dog provisions made, not even a water bowel,. Really poor.
So back to the Polurion Hotel, better in every respect.

Pros:

It was my first time here, I didn’t like my room as there was very little light in there and just seemed very dark, I didn’t pay for a view but was disappointed as there was no view at all which made the room dark and depressing. I also think that the breakfast should be included in the price. The food was very good and the breakfast was lovely. The staff were very friendly.
