Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with stunning views from the room but the bathroom was a bit small. The service, especially from the manager, was top-notch, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Port Isaac with a balcony overlooking the harbor. However, the dining options were limited to just pasta.
The hotel offers stunning rooms with basin and toilet, providing a wonderful view of the harbor. The rooms also feature an awesome view and a balcony for an enhanced experience. The service, especially from the manager, is exceptional with a welcoming drink upon arrival. The location is unbeatable, right on the waterfront of Port Isaac, one of Cornwall's most beautiful fishing villages. The dining experience offers delicious cold dishes. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring a memorable stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The harbor-front location was simply stunning, and being right in the heart of the village was a dream. The rooms with balconies overlooking the harbor were a real highlight, offering extra living space and beautiful views. The service was top-notch, especially from the manager who made me feel so welcome with a delightful welcome drink. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, specifically in offering more gluten-free dishes. Overall, a fantastic stay with just a few minor areas to consider.
I couldn't get enough of the amazing sea view from the hotel. The extra living space in my room was a plus too, but having only a basin and toilet was a bit inconvenient. The hotel is right on the waterfront in Port Isaac, one of Cornwall's most charming fishing villages.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The extra living space with a wonderful view of the harbor was a major highlight, although the bathroom was a bit small. Having a balcony to enjoy the awesome view added to the experience.
