cornish breakfast clean decor central location

I enjoyed the full cornish breakfast. It was plenty big! the rooms were so clean, and they clearly refreshed the decor in both the bedrooms and bathrooms. the location is super central, though i did park in the new road long stay car park.

The cake selection was small at the café. The muffins tasted a little dry.

lovely view separate sitting room quiet room beautiful furniture excellent breakfast strong paint smell missing towel missing mat small shower

I had a room at the top of the building. It featured lovely views out to sea and a separate little sitting room. The room was very quiet and beautifully furnished. Breakfast was excellent.

The room smelled strongly of paint upon arrival. There were no hand towels or shower mat provided. The shower was very small.

The room was nicely decorated and super clean. They catered for my gluten free needs. I also got soya milk, great. The bed and pillows were very comfy.

Our room and shower room were both very cramped. I bashed my legs and elbows a lot. The space was too cramped for us. It only did the job for one night.
