Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room smelt of extreme damp and mold.
There were pigeons nesting outside the window which was dirty and unhygienic.
The backyard area that was for guests was unclean-full of bird excrement, broken chairs no where to dispose of cigarettes even though was advised that area allowed to smoking.
The price was extortionate for this lack of quality was given for any if this stay.

Pros:

The water pressure in the shower was nonexistent and had to pay to use showers elsewhere, when asked at the desk they said it was due to many people using them but I had tried it around 20 times over 4 days and was the same every time

Cons:

It’s just outside of the town so commuting was only a ten minute walk

Great stay in a clean and comfortable hotel in a great location.
Pros:

We were given a very large, clean and comfortable family room. There was a super king size double bed and then two bunk beds in a separate room, offering both parties some privacy.

Cons:

There was a problem with the temperature of the water in the bathroom, as it had a huge corner jacuzzi bath with it's own heater. The hotel kindly offered a shower in an alternative bedroom.

For a single traveller it satisfied my needs . As for the hotel as a whole it would be unfair to give a an opinion as I
Pros:

Stayed on 2 occasions. The first experience was better as they upgraded my room to a double in a quieter corridor. The second stay in the small single room was a little more challenging as there was a main corridor door directly outside my room ,and there was obviously being used for other customers to access their rooms . The door was a little noisy which was a little annoying.

Cons:

I did not see the property in day light so unable to give an option

Good size room and clean.
Pros:

Had the pleasure of staying at this hotel , when the bad storms hit cornwall we were unfortunate to be without power for a couple of days at our home , so we decided to stay in a hotel for a night due to having no heating or able to make food!

A lovely sized room with the added bonus of a fridge.
Hotel was warm and cozy with access to a kitchen on site if we wanted to cook our own food.

Room was clean and nice extras in the bathroom.

Hotel is very close to the town centre so only a short walk and parking is available at the front of the hotel.

Would stay here again if ever in a pickle ❤️
