North Cornish Coast hotel guide. St Austell hotel in North Cornish Coast, Cornwall

"Simple check in, check out process. Difficult to find using Google maps, parking and access to main parking unclear but managed to get a space at the front of the building."

"The hotel itself was lovely and felt opulent and quite grand - until you got into the rooms. We paid quite a lot of money for what was described as a Superior Double and were told we had been upgraded to a honeymoon suite as it was my wife's birthday. Sadly the first room was awful with paint coming off the walls and no bulbs in the ceiling (the wires were actually hanging down and exposed). We complained and were offered the room next door, which was bigger and seemed better, but we soon realised the furnishings were very poor quality and way past their best. The bathroom was superb but was completely out of sync with the rest of the room. The balcony was out of bounds too as it was unsafe! This was a big room but was most definitely not of a standard that merits the title of honeymoon suite."

"We loved our stay. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, the room was beautiful with great attention to detail. We also loved breakfast, and were so happy there were great vegan options. We’ll be back! Thank you"

"Lovely place to stay, food was excellent the staff friendly. Walking distance to the town and plenty of shops to visit. Views from the hotel are wonderful and king Arthur's castle is right opposite the hotel with nice views from the hotel."

"Everything at the hotel was perfect,nothing was any treble for the staff to help.would definitely go there again."

"The room was clean and the bed comfy. We had a side view of the sea and it was lovely to hear the waves overnight. Breakfast lovely as always."
