Good for the location

A one night stay in south Cornwall having stayed in north Cornwall previous nights. Beautiful clean room and bathroom but something missing to make it outstanding. Lovely decoration but lacking in pictures or plants and home comforts. Inn/Bar it's self seemed dingy and uninviting. Location wonderful.

Our stay was great overall. Our room had a bathtub which is always a big plus. Perfect location in the middle of Lizard, with plenty of shops nearby and Lizard point within a short walking distance.

Comfortable room. Easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Host Mary was exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful (gluten free food, booking taxi etc.). We are a retired couple walking the South West Coast Path and would stay here again.

Best Hotel on the Lizard.

Clean and tidy with nice furnishings. And nice and friendly staff. Even had a live band in the bar on Saturday night which played us music to fall asleep too. Would 100% stay again at this hotel.

The room was fantastic and can’t be faulted. However what makes this hotel a cut above the rest is the staff; they go out of their way to be kind and helpful. Literally nothing is too much for them They are all truly wonderful Highly recommend this hotel in the stunning Lizard

Perfect

Perfect - the Housel room (the rooms has names and not numbers) is very nice, and the Lizard town itself is stunning and a must visit if you are in the area.
