Stilvoll mit atemberaubenden Blick
Pros:

Super Lage, traumhafte Aussicht. Wir hatten Deluxe Zimmer mit Merrblick. Sehr komfortable Bezten. Sehr gut renoviertes Bad. Extrem freundliches Personal- ochvwsr zum schwimmen in der Bicht direkt unterhalb des Hotel schon um 6.45 Uhr wach und bekam freundlicherweise und obwohl die Kaffeemaschine noch nicht hochgefahren war einen Kaffee aus der Personalküchr

Cons:

Zimmer bei Außentemperaturen um 30 Grad mit Meerblick sehr warm, Fenster lassen sich nur teilweise öffnen, aber das ist bei einem so schönen Haus aus den fin de siècle absolut verzeihlich- es gibt große neue klappbare Holzfensterläden, die helfen abzudunkeln

Gorgeous location, not cheap but worth paying for the view.
Pros:

Gorgeous views and lovely public spaces. Our room was spacious and comfortable.breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

The bathroom was very small in relation to the size of room - the basin overhangs the toilet. There was scaffolding over the front of the building which wasn’t flagged up to us beforehand. Our room’s view was unaffected but others will have been as was the view from the public spaces and access to the terrace. We were not told that the breakfast stations in the two dining areas were different, wondered where the toast and croissants were!

Great location, poor sleep, good and poor experiences with staff
Pros:

The location of the hotel was fantastic with great views and location to the centre.

Cons:

Due to the heat the lack of air con in the rooms was a problem for us, a fan doesn’t cut it when you’re paying £300 a night, for example most premier inns have air con.

Pros:

very confusing as breakfast was included , however we found out only on the second morning it was only continental breakfast. this was not clear. the hotel wanted to then charge us for the breakfast . not good.
also the room allocation was poor , possibly the worst room in the hotel.

Cons:

hotel trying to charge me for breakfast on checkout . after the first morning giving me a menu. i then pick a full english . then the second boring i have the menu taken away and staff telling me my rate doesn't cover full english . this is unclear as when i booked i looked at the room and price and if breakfast was included. and it was . then on checkout they wanted me to pay for something i thought was included.

Lovely stay in Fowey
Pros:

Ease of check in and very helpful staff. Our room was palatial. Bar terrace had a lovely view over the sea and estuary.

Cons:

Car parking was completely sold out meaning having to use the public one down the road. Only minutes by foot away though and not a great hardship. Noise from trucks doing pre-dawn deliveries and at one point an emergency water repair team working at 2am were a nuisance though.

Bellissimo albergo in una delle baie più belle della Cornovaglia
Pros:

Nonostante non sia semplice da raggiungere data la poszione terrazzata in un paese con strade strette e tortuose tipiche della Cornovaglia, l'albergo è in una posizione eccellente con un'incantevole vista sulla baia ed il villaggio di Polruan. Consigliamo vivamente le camere fronte baia.
Ottimo il ristorante.

Cons:

Tutto bene. Forse una maggiore empatia da parte della reception, a volere essere pignoli.

Pros:

Location superb. Views spectacular. Staff fantastic. Food very nice.

Cons:

The room was spacious and clean but very stuffy. The windows would only open ever so slightly and with no air con, made it a bit uncomfortable in this hot weather. Will definitely revisit but would aim to get a different room with bigger windows!

Lovely as usual.
Pros:

Location excellent. staff attentive

Cons:

Parking always a problem but have managed 3 nights before. This time only 1 night and we had to move to St.Finbarrus. Big inconvenient at ages 80/82.
Menu could have had a bit more variety.
