Beautiful building with breath taking views and on top of that all the staff were friendly approachable and very polite. Thank you for an amazing time.
Loved the surrounding area. Location is amazing! Friendly staff. Just didn’t like the shower didn’t have a full door made it awkward showering daily. I would recommend this hotel though
We had a small room but we didn’t mind because we were out most of the day. We found the menu limiting but ate out. The service very good. The views from the garden were excellent and staff were very friendly. We had a wonderful stay.
Such a beautiful, comfortable hotel near the ocean. The views and vistas don’t disappoint. The staff and service was very nice and helpful. Our room very cozy.
Stunning views, fantastic staff and amazing food. We had the full tasting menu once again and it was superb. One of our favourite places for a night away. Love the refurbed cloakroom!
Beautiful location and wonderful coastal sea views. Friendly and very helpful staff. Delicious food fir breakfast lunch and dinner, Easy parking in the car park. Will definitely return.
What can I say apart from magic I loved it here the staff where amazing Molly I think her name was who manager was incredible from start to finish we just had amazing time if u want somewhere chilled with amazing views great food this is for u, also if u love hiking it’s amazing you can work for miles we saw a few seal just below which was great to see. If we come over to lizard again ild 100% stay here..
the hotel has a fantastic location - is secluded and quiet.
The location on the coastal hiking trail is just great.
The rooms with a view of the bay are highly recommended - here you can also bridge a day with bad weather.
The food is good and the portions adequate...
We would love to come back...

Lovely stay with friendly obliging staff .
Great b fast , slightly small choice of evening meal. 1st meal of fish and chips excellent but sadly 2 nd meal of steak , was not a good one , tough and tasteless.
Bed room had lovely views and lounge area , which made us overlook the shabby wallpaper!
Comply nice bed , pillows not so .
Stayed here at the end of an explore of Cornwall and it was the best place to stay! Tucked away in a very pretty corner of the world. All the stay were amazing super helpful and polite. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the ocean and lighthouse. When we arrived we were told about a small private cove you could walk down to for a swim in the sea which was a great experience and the hotel even supplied beach towels ! The hotel has two restaurants one for fine dining and a normal one. We tried the normal restaurant and the food was really really good too! All in all amazing would stay again it’s in a lovely place
