Treated like Dirt !!! I booked the wrong date, I booked April instead of March, they refused do anything. They accepted I had made a mistake but their policy was no refunds under any circumstances. They then Lied to me and blamed Expedia, so I spoke to Expedia. Expedia said it was the Hotel policy not ours. Expedia then rang the hotel and they refused to give me a refund, they said if you can't make it send one of your friends. Absolutely disgraceful treatment. I won't stay here if I were you, they will treat you like dirt take your money and lie to you. We still can't believe they tried to blame Expedia, Expedia were very helpful and did everything they could to help us.

Stayed at the Cove for 1 night whilst walking the South West Cost path. Delightful village. Excellent pub with excellent food and good range of beer. Wonderful sea view from our room right opposite the harbour. Highly recommended.

Beautiful setting, characterful historic Cornish Inn. Fairly basic room, fine for the price. Good choice of menu, food cooked ok with the exception of breakfast. Bacon and poached egg overcooked.

No complaints
Stayed for 2 nights. Spent first night socialising at the inn as we arrived in the evening. Was quite busy and enjoyed some live music. Booked a table for food in advance as it was recommended. Food was tasty but slightly expensive. The second night we socialised elsewhere and only slept at the inn. Breakfast was generous and no complaints about service. Room was clean, shared bathroom was also clean and well stocked. Hosts were welcoming and we were able to come and go as we pleased. Cadgwith is a beautiful place.

Comfortable, friendly environment. Great evening meal, breakfast was top drawer. Double Bed was a bit small, and rooms being above a pub was noisy up till 11.15 ish. BUT a lovely place to stay in a beautiful location.

Beautifully clean. Lovely people. Good food. Now i know we booked the economy room, as that was all that was available, but i didn't realise the bed would be so titchy. We spent a lot of the night trying not to fall out of bed or digging each other in the ribs. And a very odd arrangement of bedside lights. In order to turn the topnone on, you need to stand on the bed

The Hotel location was excellent but i am afraid the food was overpriced and of average quality.We had two nights in sea facing room 6 which we enjoyed but then spent our last night in room 4 which has a SVP running through the room and so you have the pleasure of being able to hear everything that is flushed and deposited through this SVP.The matress was steel sprung and way beyond its sell by date and so our experiences on day three soured our stay.Avoid room 4 if you can.

Visiting Cadgwith.
Cadgwith is a quaint fishing village and the Inn was in keeping with the surroundings. The accommodation was basic but clean. Would prefer en-suite rather than a shared bathroom but understand it’s an old building therefore probably not possible. The food was good and the service friendly. Would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is set in a very nice area at the cove with a walking path along the coastline. However, we did not feel very welcome. First, there is self-check-in and check out, and we did not see any staff at the hotel. Then in the restaurant, they were not wearing masks while they handled the food, yet they did not come to the table with our meals. The waitstaff would drop off the food at a distant table where we had to get up and retrieve it. Clearly, they were ultra concerned for their own safety but not our safety, as their uncovered faces were near our food. Even if the law did not mandate at that time that they wear masks, as food service workers, this should be a no-brainer with increasing Covid cases in the UK. For us, it was not a friendly or warm atmosphere. Perhaps with our American accents, they thought we could be diseased, but we do not live in the states. We live in Europe. That said, the seafood dinner was delicious at the hotel. Breakfast was decent.

The property is set in a traditional Fishing village with lovely views of the sea. However, the pub and restaurant was closed on The evening we stayed and since COVID-19 the establishment has not been opening every day which means there is nowhere to eat in the evening. Therefore , this should be stated before booking. There were several people staying who were similarly disappointed. Explaining they booked and were unable to get a refund once they had been told a few day’s before the pub would not be open. The room was extremely basic with two single beds which were of a size to accommodate children rather than two adults one of 6ft 6ins! This resulted in an awful nights sleep. The bathroom was a good size with an excellent shower. The room was basically clean , yet it was off putting to find a dirty coffee cup and blue tack keeping part of the covering under the sink together. This is especially worrying during the Current climate. Apart from the views, the best part of the stay was the large, tasty breakfast and the very friendly lady who served it.

The warm, welcoming staff, the location and the friendly locals. The room had a wonderful sea view and every morning we watched the fishermen leaving the cove. The highlight of the trip was eating the fabulous seafood dinners every evening. The fish and shellfish could not be any fresher. Helen, her husband and team could not have made us feel any more welcome, I highly recommended staying here.

Smuggling pub right by the water
This is a tremendous pub with a lively bar and an obvious sea-faring history. It is very remote and you need to walk quite a long way from the car park to the village - but it was worth it.

Initially on arrival I was very stressed with how to actually unload my belongings as being a lone traveller with a dog and not being able to park outside the hotel on small streets seemed impossible. Whilst this could have been an issue for some with luggage- however DO NOT let this put you off. Up the road there are some parking spaces as well as the main car park providing plenty of parking accessing the hotel down a footpath. Inside the rooms are clean with essentials you need. I recommend a room with a sea view- room 8 sunrise in the morning is simply stunning. What really stood out to me made my stay was the staff - especially the ladies at breakfast/housekeeping. They were so welcoming and accommodating. The food including breakfast was delicious - as was the gin! Quiz and open mic night gave the pub a real buzz and despite having a room upstairs above the bar I heard very little. I would highly recommend staying here and will defiantly be returning. Great location for accessing a range of local amenities and plenty of beautiful coves and beaches. Thankyou - Frank and I enjoyed our stay very much and will be back soon.
