Almost perfect!!!
Excellent location, lovely room and nearly all the staff were friendly and helpful. Food is also very good. One down side was there was no mini fridge as stated. I even rang as we stopped at the shop 5 minutes away to double check before buying fridge stuff for sandwiches for the forthcoming days. Told all rooms have them. Spent over £50 on food to turn up and be told our room is the only one without a fridge as it was broken! Wasn’t the best start! If it weren’t for this it would have been brilliant instead of good.

Pleasant 2 night stay
Spacious room overlooking harbour was very clean and tidy. Good range of St Austell beers in the bar and a good choice of breakfast, cooked perfectly. Staff were amazing too, nothing too much trouble for them. A very pleasant couple of nights.
