not top of our list as somewhere we would return to

Cons:

reception assistants could have done much more to assist there seemed to be an air of indifference

Excellent location but hotel rooms very tired
Pros:

We chose this hotel as we were visiting friends nearby. Excellent location and well kept golf course. Our room overlooked the car park but it was quiet and did not keep us awake. Basic room in need of redecoration, we were allocated disabled access shower room although not requested. It was larger than average for that reason, the shower was difficult to regulate and the handle kept coming loose. We arrived when the weather was over 30 degrees and as soon as we came into the room we spotted a pedestal fan. The air con in that area was not working which meant night temperatures were unbearable.
Breakfast was good with lots of choice cereals and fruit and hot food.
Staff very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the swimming pool and went before breakfast so not too busy and no wait for showers.

Cons:

No fridge in the room which was needed especially in the heat. Small tv.

Ideal base for a short stay for golfers and non-golfers alike
Pros:

Spacious and very comfortable room with patio overlooking the 18th green. Dining options were ideal with the choice of formal restaurant, brasserie or casual bar each with access to all menus. Although we were not there for golf we enjoyed the views over the course and found the location was perfect for our exploration of the nearby Devon and Cornwall coasts .

St Mellion is 'ok' but needs to be updated
Pros:

It's ok...just ...needs updating. Only stay here when I need to when other hotels are full. Just feels unloved now. Please spend some money updating this place. Or just leave it for golfers.

Cons:

It's just 'ok'. Food is pretty terrible. It's a golf hotel so maybe the golfers are happy but as a hotel guest it is really starting to fall behind everyone else. Unless you really need to be here I would recommend elsewhere. I am sure when it opened it looked amazing but now the carpets are worn, rooms looking worn...food is awful. did I mention the food? Young staff never seem particularly pleased that there are guests to attend to. Breakfast overpriced and underwhelming.

A great stay
Pros:

Breakfast was good lots of choices, and was nice and hot.
Food in the evening again good choices on menu food was excellent could not fault it.
Room was lovely great view of golf course.
Spa area lovely nice and clean.

Cons:

Could definitely benefit from a little maintenance of the mouldy silicone around bath /floor and just a little tidy up in bathroom in rooms . Jacuzzi could do with being a bit hotter in the spa. Other than that it’s a great place

Pros:

Room overlooking 18th fairway.
Nicklaus course in good condition.

Cons:

No buggies on Nicklaus course, paths only resulting in walking further.
Floorboards creaked everywhere, corridors, rooms, balcony.
Bedside lamp did not work.
Carpets torn and dirty throughout the hotel, corridors, room etc.
Tired and dated room.
No smart TV.
No proper coffee machine, just a kettle and sachets.
Full English buffet was cold despite 7.10am. Eggs, bacon, sausages all watery.
Paid extra £100 for balcony room, only to find you cannot smoke out there.
Rooms far too expensive for what they are, not a 4 star.
Superior room no different to standard room apart from price and useless balcony.

Wouldn’t choose to stay again
Pros:

Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable beds

Cons:

Not very nice communal bar area, bland and boring and dated. Breakfast very bland with no personality, could be so much better as the golfing looked incredible so disappointed inside.
