My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The location was unbeatable, right on St Mawes harbor, offering stunning views and easy access to fabulous walking paths. The rooms, although lacking any views, were surprisingly comfortable and proved to be a cozy sanctuary. The service was top-notch, with the loveliest staff members making me feel truly welcome. However, the dining experience fell short as the included breakfast was a bit underwhelming. The hotel's facilities were excellent overall, adding to the enjoyment of my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room with a lovely view had a single bed which proved invaluable in the end and balconies overlooking the water. The staff members were lovely, although the drink waiter didn't arrive until the main course started, which was a slight drawback. The location was perfect, right on the harbor in St Mawes, providing access to fabulous walking paths. The dining experience, while not included, offered delicious grilled dishes. Overall, a great value for money experience.
