The Inn on the Shore

Would have liked a choice of cereals and yoghurt/fruit. Would have preferred back bacon instead of streaky.

The room far to small for the money we paid

The fact that We had to leave but will be back shortly.

Noisy water pipes from room next door, sounded like someone using our bathroom.

Strong sauces & especially hidden ones maybe should have been an option offered by the staff.

Unfortunately, my stay at the Inn on the Shore was the only bad experience of my two-week trip around Cornwall. The location is fantastic, but the hotel is not managed well.

The staff made a racket in the private room above the bar after hours keeping me awake.

The wifi, provided by Sky Wifi, was prehistoric. You have to provide your personal details to sign in and the system invariably requires you sign in again every time you open a device. Every other place I stayed in, even the humblest pub, just gave you a password and that's it. Using Sky Wifi is like going back to the 1990s.

On the only night I tried to eat in the hotel, I entered the restaurant just after 7pm. It was full and the one waitress on duty did her utmost to hold things together, but it was an impossible job. One of the barmen provided intermittent support but in fact only confused matters, delaying transmission of orders to the kitchen. After waiting for an hour and a quarter for my main course (a salad) I gave up, the first time I have ever done that in a restaurant.  After some negotiation, the hotel wiped the starter, which I did receive, from my bill. They told me that one of the waitresses had called in sick; OK, such things happen, but you have to have a fall-back and in this case there was none. The following night I ate in Bewshea's by the Beach (across the road) and the contrast couldn't have been greater. The restaurant had ample staffing and everything arrived quickly and with a smile.

I have no criticism of the waitress on duty at the Inn on Shore. She was pleasant and was rushing around all evening. She did her best but was let down by the inadequate systems at the hotel.

I paid £228 for two nights for a very small room at the Inn on the Shore, almost double what I paid at some other pubs and hotels on my trip. Despite the beautiful location, it was not good value.

Nothing to fault on this stay

Rooms dusty, restaurant ran on bare minimum staff. One night they had a promotion on meals and the kitchen and waiting staff just couldn’t cope.

Dårlig service, ikke toalettpapir, rene håndklær, ikke påfyll av kaffeposer og ingen renhold av rommet.
