Lovely hotel in beautiful location
Pros:

We had a very relaxing time at the hotel &
Couldn’t fault anything except maybe the lounge seating arrangements

Cons:

The only small negative, where the blue sofas were situated the occasional round tables were too big and if a couple were sat on them one side there really wasn’t enough room for you to sit the other! If there were smaller rectangular tables there would be more room. Then different couples could sit either side.

Very enjoyable and enhanced by the staff
Pros:

The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient.
The food was excellent and the accommodation complete although a bit cramped

Cons:

The drinks were unrealistically expensive, particularly the ordinary wines
We had to leave for health reasons after 2 days but the manager, although very caring, was not able to cancel the charge for the third day very enjoyable

Pros:

Comfortable room, friendly staff, restaurant with good Seaviews, service and good menue.l

Cons:

Again, as with other hotels with showers in the bath, there was no rail/handle to assist in getting into and out of the bath. This can very often lead to falls risk for elderly or less agile visitors.
There is very little lounge room, the only means being 2 small couches in the small bar area

Pros:

The location was spectacular. Right on the bay with a beautiful view of the bay and Poluran. The hotel was very beautiful. The rooms were very spacious and had many comforts. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel was also very close to the town center and the ferries. Readymoney Cove was a short walk. The main parking center was easy to reach as well. We had a wonderful stay.

Overpriced, hot room, dated, cleaning standards
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

No parking spaces and parking is 5-10 mins walk away up and down a very steep hill.
Room was too hot and the windows don’t open properly.
Hair on bathroom floor at check-in, was not mine.
Shower cubicle floor and grout - brown, was once white.
Breakfast room badly laid out so people are in each other's way and over-crowded - had to wait for a table.
Tables wiped in such a way that any food on them is thrown to the floor in the wiping motion.
Breakfast pastries - raw inside.
They keep asking you to pay for a hot breakfast at every opportunity - before check-in, at check-in, at breakfast.
Staff not friendly.
Archaic lift that does not arrive when called as someone has inevitably left the door open.
Drastically overpriced for what it is. Would not stay here again.

Pros:

View from our room

Cons:

The male bartender, barely a word.
Then proceeded to use the noisy glass washer and clang about with the coffee machine whilst we were trying to have a quiet drink.
We could hardly hear each other speak at times, we left after one drink, no wonder the bar was empty!

Pros:

Amazing view of the estuary. Deluxe Double Room with Seaview was spacious. Great location between readymoney beach and town.

Cons:

Carpet in the room was dirty, rooms not soundproofing. Indoor comunal areas very small and can be very crowded. Would be good to be notified in advance when there’s a wedding happening as can be very loud.
