Met expectation
Pros:

Room, no fan so window always open. With hight of bath there should be a grab rail for the shower.

Cons:

Bloody Toaster - haven't found one of this type in the many hotels world wide that toast properly. Need to have a device with a simple dial (user friendly) for done, well done.

Toller Aufenthalt, schönes Hotel, freundliches Personal und bequemes Bett.
Pros:

Sehr hübsches Hotel in super toller Lage. Das Zimmer war klein aber als Alleinreisende ausreichend, es war alles vorhanden was man braucht und das Bett war super bequem. Frühstück klein aber fein. Essen ansonsten auch sehr gut. Personal super freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Schönes Hotel mit toller Aussicht
Pros:

Schönes Hotel mit toller Aussicht und hervorragendem Frühstück.

Sehr schöne Zimmer und schöne Lage.

Cons:

Leider hatte das Restaurant bereits geschlossen, obwohl wir bei der Rezeption nachgefragt haben, ob wir noch was zu essen bekommen und diese sagte, dass es kein Problem sei.

Das war etwas unglücklich. Wir sind dann aber noch nach St. Ives gelaufen (10min) und haben dort ohne Probleme ein Restaurant gefunden.

Sehr sehr kleine Dusche.

Insgesamt etwas teuer.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location
Pros:

Nice room, comfortable bed and we appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities and the pre dinner gin and tonic. The breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and everything was delicious. The restaurant is a lovely space, very tastefully decorated overlooking the sea, a wonderful spot to enjoy breakfast. The hotel is in an excellent location overlooking the sea. All of the staff we came across were very friendly and helpful.
A few more hangers in the wardrobe would be useful.
We didn’t have a view, our room looked out onto the road. If we visit again I will definitely book a room with a sea view.

Cons:

We had a large bathroom with a shower over the bath but I feel a better design could include a walk in shower and more storage space for cosmetics etc. In the current arrangement the shower gel and shampoo are completely out of reach if taking a bath.
The lack of a hotel car park is a bit annoying but understandable however the valet parking arrangements are very good, the guy parking your car is very obliging.

Für eine Übernachtung prima. St. Ives ist ein hübsches Städtchen.
Pros:

Tolle Aussicht über die Bucht. Das Hotel liegt gut. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Frühstück ganz ok. Für die Durchreise ist das das Hotel definitiv gut. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt, so denke ich, eher nicht.

Cons:

Flur war extrem ringhörig. Zimmer wurde nicht gut gereinigt. Es lagen noch Klamotten und Zubehöre wahrscheinlich von den vorherigen Gästen im Zimmer.
