    Only criticism was my twin room the beds were adjacent and would have preferred extra space for 2 hikers traveling together.

    Very comfortable. Excellent restaurant. Dinner and breakfast were both faultless.

    Nothing I can think of.

    Location of the hotel was perfect, our room #4 had a balcony overlooking the harbour with views of the cliffs and open water. Arriving a little early for our check in the staff member lovely gal from New Zealand checked with house keeping on the status of our room and she showed us upstairs to the room with gorgeous views. Bed was very comfortable, bath room was a wow factor when you opened the door SO large water pressure and temperature was great. TV worked well without needing a PHD to program and watch. French doors opened up to a spacious deck which has two wicker chairs for watching the sea and sunset. The morning breakfast was outstanding with a great selection of hot choices and very nice pastries, again the staff were excellent and the chef out did them selves with attention to detail. One last item that I enjoyed at low tide was the sea cave located on the left side of the bay which you could easily venture into about 50’ with interesting graffiti carved into the smooth rock some appearing to be very old. All I came say if you stay here “ENJOY “

    Food and drink a bit pricey but you pay for what you get so overall we were very happy. Parking was a short distance from the property which was not a problem for us.

    Beautiful unspoilt location by the beach. Well maintained. Very friendly and professional staff. Dinner and breakfast were of a a high standard, well presented and served.

    There was a mechanical contraption outside the bathroom window that made a constant noise the first night we were there. Subsequently it was only there in the day. Was this the reason the window in the bathroom was sealed shut?

    It would be better/nicer if there was more choice/flexibility for meals, rather than just fine dining. Thus, for lunch you have to have a full on two course fine dining meal, which certainly didn't suit us. We prefer a light lunch and then an evening meal. It would have been nice to have been able to have a light snack lunch served from the bars. And on Sunday evening we didn't really want a full on two course fine dining meal, but there was no alternative.

    The location is excellent, close to Port Issac, only 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive, but not in Port Issac. Port Gaverne is a picturesque and nice location in a small inlet. The hotel is well located looking out to sea. The rooms are not large, but they are clean, comfortable and well appointed. The balconies for some rooms are nice touches. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bar is cosy and nice. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is dog friendly.

    We got locket out of our room at one point as door handle was broken but it was attended to.

    The food is pricey but excellent. It had such charm. Open fires and tasteful nautical interiors. Best breakfast we had in the UK. Staff were lovely. We had a dip at the cove which was heaven. This was our favourite place along the Path.

    All good.

    I stayed at this hotel years ago and returning for just one night I was pleased to see it largely unaltered, albeit updated in terms of some of the decor. It feels old and interesting but warm and comfortable, we stayed in November when the real fires made it welcoming and cosy. Breakfast and lunch were very good, some of the best fish and chips ever, and we live in a fishing town! It was quiet when we stayed but still had a nice relaxed feel, didn’t feel ‘empty’ as some places can in the low season. Staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to come again if up that way.

    There were quite a few steps to get to our room - but I hadn’t asked for anything specific.

    It was a smaller size, so didn’t feel too busy or crowded. The hotel is about 50 yards from a small pebbly beach where we could watch the waves roll in. Everything was clean, and it has 2 open fires.

    I think it’s hard to say what could have been better. I suppose if you are tall, you do need to duck on the stairs! But honestly, it was a great stay and delicious food.

    The staff were warm and welcoming. Service was excellent. Dinner was delicious!! Veggie option was thoughtful (starter) and tasty (main) - risotto was one of the best I’ve had. Meat and fish options were plentiful - ended up having cod followed by steak, both of which were cooked perfectly. The room was clean, bed very comfy and a tidy bathroom, nice tough having a small balcony. Breakfast lived up to expectations as well - both meat and veggie option, a true Cornish delight!! We will definitely stay and eat here again. Would recommend to friends and family.
