Location is Exceptional.
Pros:

Location, pricing and the room itself was exceptional.

Cons:

Breakfast could have been better. Key ingredient missing from order as it had run out. Would have been better to know when ordering so it could have been changed, not once it was served!
Staff were friendly enough.

good but too expensive for me to return solo
Pros:

It was very clean. The staff were great. They were very helpful. Bar and outside seating area great overlooking harbour. Great location. Room generally nice but small and bathroom very small. I was alone so size ok but may be different if there were 2 guests.

Cons:

Food could have been better. Breakfast buffet selections not great As a historic building I know it cannot be helped re size and sloping floors but no bedside table annoying . No room made up unless you specifically request . In heat wave could have provided fans . I paid 758 pound for 3 night b and b so did not feel value for money I understand Cornwall prices but that comes out at 274 a night b and b which is a lot. Also quite far from car park in terms of moving luggage. I know you can bring car down to off load but streets narrow and busy. Also breakfast would have been nice earlier than 830 especially when travelling a long way home an early start is nice . Could have done with a small table on balcony

Lovely view, room ok.
Pros:

The view was amazing.

Cons:

The bed was very small in the room which I appreciate was on the booking. The bathroom was tiny, luckily we fitted but if my parents were to stay here my Dad wouldn't fit in the shower so I think this needs to be stated on the room description. The room was quite pricey and we paid extra for breakfast, the breakfast was ok and unfortunately did not include coffee from the espresso machine. Buffet options were also disappointing

Fabulous!
Pros:

Lovely place to stay. Great food. Wonderful friendly service. Happy with the room (slight slope as older building gave a humorous slightly tipsy effect). Good bed.. Slight view of the sea from the balcony. Nice area to have. All good thank you.

Cons:

Woke at 5am to the sound of all the bottles, but otherwise very comfy and slept really well.

Very pleasant stay at this hotel right in the centre of town.
Pros:

Room was very charming and clean. Bathroom is very small but suited our needs for a 2 night stay. Cooked breakfasts were good. We also had dinner there one night, which was also good.

Cons:

Could have more fruit options at breakfast. Had a banana one time and nothing the other.
