Nice room, friendly staff, good food, but too remote location... If you have no car.
Pros:

The hotel is very comfortable, with friendly staff, a nice room, and good food.

Cons:

This hotel is located a few miles outside Falmouth, near the village of Mawnan Smith, and public transportation is difficult, so I had to take a taxi a few times. Walking to the village center at night is too scary due to the narrow road and traffic. Yet this hotel is much, much more pleasant than Falmouth's Merchants Manor House Hotel, where I had a terrible experience.

A homely vibe in beautiful surroundings - good for the soul!
Pros:

There was a problem with the room we booked, so we were immediately upgraded to another one with the most amazing sea views, which was appreciated. The hotel is in a great position, a short walk from a fabulous beach. It is well-appointed, beautifully decorated and very comfortable but still retains a family-run vibe, that makes you feel at ease the moment you arrive. All staff we met were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent, and they were more than happy to cater for my wife's dietary requirements. The fact that it is also dog-friendly was good for us (as we had our little dog in tow), but having a separate area for those dining with dogs is a great idea. We may have a dog but certainly don't expect those who don't to spend any time with it - especially when eating! We were unable to use the hotel restaurant in the evening as the chef was indisposed, so booked into "The Cove" restaurant down on the beach, which was a great experience. Overall, I can easily see why Trelawne gets such excellent reviews. We (sadly) only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again.

A super hotel; extremely clean, amazing sea views, great location
Pros:

Lovely breakfast in a very nice breakfast room. Nice to have some communication with the lovely breakfast serving team after initially arriving to pre-ordered food laid out ready.

Cons:

I understand how it helps the hotel to have pre-ordered breakfasts, but I, personally, don't like this. I feel it does not give a personal touch, to fill in a paper form the night before. You don't always know what you feel like eating until the morning, and it feels more personal to be greeted warmly when arriving down for breakfast. I have no problem with choosing a time slot for breakfast. I very recently stayed at Haytor Hotel, Torquay - they have a similar number of rooms, I believe. They serve an outstanding breakfast every day without pre-ordering. It is one of the features that draws me to them. There is immediate human contact when arriving in the breakfast room, rather than arriving to food already laid out and looking for your own table. It feels a little more personal, and slightly less institutional.
