Bedruthan Steps Hotel Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

A return visit today for my birthday lunch. As before everything was perfect. The food is fantastic - really fresh and a seasonal varied menu - something for all tastes. The staff are really knowledgeable about the food and local wines and the service is great. I even got a lovely complimentary birthday dessert. Will definitely be returning again for my birthday next year.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Darcy was absolutely fantastic as our waitress, very attentive and friendly. Would visit again.

Had a birthday dinner her and Darcy our waitress was brilliant- organised a desert with happy birthday on it. The food was delicious and came quickly. I would recommend the crab linguine and the hummus starter

We thought £15 was a bit steep for a continental breakfast (£6 extra for the hot part) so we expected it to be absolutely amazing - we were very disappointed. Their website states "slow-rise sourdough from the bakery oven and warm croissants", the reality was bread that was so stale you had to toast it to make it edible, and stale croissants and pains au chocolats. I complained to a member of staff to be told that they buy their pastries in frozen then heat them up in their ovens, she went back to the kitchen and they sent her out with - another box of stale croissants - it was absolutely appalling given that they claim to have their own in house bakery, there was however no aroma whatsoever of any fresh baking taking place. The rest of the breakfast fayre was also sub standard for £15, the only freshly prepared fruit was melon. The only fruit juice was cloudy apple, I requested orange juice and was told it would come from a box, I would have expected freshly squeezed oj for a £15 continental breakfast. I find it perplexing that they say they have an in house bakery, yet appear unable to serve any fresh bakery products at breakfast. The in house bakery opened up at 9.30 am but none of those products were available at their breakfast, even the croissants were different. You have to question the management's decision to economise by putting out stale bakery products for breakfast, particularly to customers who are paying hundreds of pounds a night to stay there. We were offered no customer recovery whatsoever when I complained and we decided after this awful breakfast offering that we will not be visiting the Bedruthan in the future, although we have been frequent visitors in the past.

We had a wonderful lunch here. Beautifully presented and very tasty. One of the best meals we had all holiday. Service was excellent. View amazing. Plus dog friendly! Loved it. Highly recommended.

I feel after all the amazing reviews on here, maybe I’m being a little critical, but we are disappointed. The building needs demolishing. And whilst everything is ‘nice’ it’s not amazing. The rooms are large, but cheaply furnished, and if you have the stunning sea views, you don’t have a window to open for air, or air con. The location is simply stunning. The Wild Cafe. Ok, average food, both for the children and for dinner, but the worst thing is it’s filthy. Now, we appreciate this is a hotel for families, that’s why we are here, we have a two year old, but we ate dinner, amongst other couples, and the floor was littered with the detritus from the children’s tea time, and I mean littered. Nothing a dustpan and brush wouldn’t have cured but as we left they were setting up for breakfast (this was 9.20pm) and the floor was still covered with food. The bathrooms are abysmal. We had expected a better standard if I’m honest. And I’m sure management will argue that this is sold as a child friendly hotel - in which case where was the toiletries for children. A potty. Plus socket covers for the plug sockets right next to the single beds. Not one touch when we arrived to indicate they had a precious small guest staying. As I said, it’s nice, but it could be so much more.

We headed there for Sunday lunch to celebrate Mother's Day. The roast option was fantastic and so much nice food, it comes out for the whole party on a board and you serve it yourself. Special praise for the vegetarian option for one of our party they had their own version and a very large portion of really good food. Similar set up for dessert too which was delicious. Stunning location and views with a window table and friendly staff this is a great place for lunch. The only minor criticism is the children's menu, good selections but seemed to be inconsistent as our youngest (3) had a burger and the portion was massive and our eldest had a pizza which was tiny! Looking at other kids we felt the pizza lacked the quantity of all the other kids options. Overall though it was great and we will be back.

An evening meal which was very well cooked and worth the money. Good service and knowledgable staff.

Slightly confusing t hat Bedruthan Steps Hotel is actually in Mawgan Porth, but fantastic views in this lovely modern hotel with lots of different beautifully furnished bars and lounges. We went early in the season but found the staff welcoming and friendly.The quality of the lunch was good except the "Cornish Steak" which was very tough and mainly gristle, a one off I would hope!

This is the second time we have done this offer and we love it. The whole hotel is so relaxed yet there are always lots of staff around to help with any problems. It is a family orientated hotel but they do offer tranquility rooms for adults only.

Modern restaurant with attentive staff. We were shown to banquette style seating but asked for a table with chairs and were accommodated immediately. It is possible to eat from the Wild Cafe menu in the Herring. Bread served first was amazing. Food is fresh and well cooked. A glass of wine is quite expensive, compared to a bottle. No house wines.

It is amazing to eat excellent food and have a view!I sat watching the beach at Mawgan Porth as a gale blew in and soaked an already wet landscape. But I was in the restaurant at Bedruthan Steps and enjoying a delicious curry cooked with seasonal vegetables. It was made all the more tastier as I watched that gale blow. The restaurant is a lovely place to be on any day but I had been there on sunny days - never on wet, windy autumn days. The curry was replaced with a chocolate torte which melted in the mouth.The food, ambiance and restaurant are amazing - best to experience on a lovely sunny day where you can shed the pounds you have eaten with a stroll on the beach. But this was a unique and new experience for me.

Excellent restaurant, the lobster was exquisite as was the steak that I had to go with it. Beautiful surroundings lovely atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

We went in for the last meal of our one week stay. I must say, the quality of the food was very high. The parsnip soup starter was of a very high standard, I never thought I would be impressed by parsnip soup! I had the duck for mains which was excellently cooked, though I wasn't too keen on the sweet potato (maybe cut into pieces or a sweet potato hash brown type thing) as it was almost whole, and a little undercooked in the middle for my liking. Everything else on the plate was excellent though. Treacle tart with clotted cream finished off the meal nicely. The setting is very relaxed, and the restaurant offers panoramic views of the sea. There is also a good choice of wine and ale, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Maybe not a place to take children, which the restaurant upstairs would be better to accommodate.

The high point is the view although I'd say this place is to be avoided unless you have kids. Service is poor, food is too, but it's so well kitted out for kids it's the sort of place it's acceptable to sit with your own rabble without feeling awful.Watch out if you have allergies though and double check everything as we ended up with cheese on a dairy free pizza.

After having a walk along the beach we decided to go and have Sunday lunch at the Bedruthan. Staff were really friendly and although it was really busy they found us a lovely table with a great view. The Sunday lunch was amazing, we shared a huge dish full of pork, beef, loads of veg and the most gorgeous roast potatoes I have ever tasted. Pudding was just the best 3 different puddings to share. We decided it was the best Sunday lunch we have ever had out.Definitely worth a visit. It's such a great hotel. we have also stayed here before and it's so relaxing. Great for kids with the ball pool, adventure play park etc, indoor and outdoor pools. Well worth a visit....

I was passing the Bedruthan Spa and Hotel one evening and popped in on the off chance of a table for dinner (two adults and two children). The staff were really welcoming and accommodating. The food choice was great and we had by far the best meal whilst on holiday in Cornwall. Service was superb. Really attentive without being intrusive. Good drinks selection. Tables really well spaced out and great views. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

We had a fantastic one night stay here. Everything about this hotel is first class. The staff are all professional and friendly and the hotel itself is modern and to a very high standard. Nice touches in the room such as fresh milk in the fridge (why don't more hotels do this?!) and fabulous Cornish made soap and shampoo bars. The room was clean and decorated to a high standard. Throughout the hotel there are lovely sitting and relaxing areas and we particularly enjoyed sitting in the quiet lounge watching the rough November sea. The food in the restaurant was to a very high standard. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and we would go back without hesitation.

The Really Wild Cafe is a favourite dining spot for this area - always great, always welcoming, dogs welcome in bar & on terrace with amazing views.Dined here for several lunches, dinners, Sunday lunch, tapas & wine & for my sons birthday with a bunch of his buddies. Fabulous staff, design, food & laid back atmosphere. Good value for money & fantastic views all round!The outside appearance of the hotel belies the interior....love it

We booked to have lunch at the Wild Cafe on Sunday 12th June, when we arrived we ordered some cold drinks whilst waiting for the rest of the family. I was very disappointed as we had to wait for 30 mins for our drinks, we could see them ready on the bar for at least ten minutes as well. We decided to go for the roast dinner as it was very good on our last visit. However this time round the food was served warm and following that the puddings were very small and tasteless. The coffee we got served was spilt all down the cup and in the saucer.I feel disappointed with the whole meal and think it was over priced for what we received.

We stopped off here for a quick lunch in the Bedruthan's Wild Cafe. We were down for just the day in April for a funeral so needed something quick, preferably with a view! We both had sandwiches which came with a nice coleslaw and salad. Lovely views and great service! If in the area in future, we would happily visit again!

Haven't been here in a while for lunch so thought we'd have some lunch, we chose ham, salmon sandwiches with skinny fries on the side the food was really nice I liked the side sald as well. my only gripe was that the bread was supposed to be granary unfortunately it wasn't it was whole meal but still ok the staff were friendly and efficient the view was lovely the menu is limited but reasonably priced

Cheery welcome and attentive staff at the Herring. Well cooked and presented meal. Extra vegetables and individual dessert designed to please one dinner. Generally good value for money. Potentially stunning views in the summertime.

Lovely hotel with a short walk to a fantastic beach. Food in the Wild cafe was perfect.The staff were amazing and made my little sausage dog Cilla very very welcome. We will definitely be back, Thank you again!

Excellent menu, choice of food and service catering for all dietary requirements. Fabulous sea views over Mawgan Porth.

Despite booking last minute & turning up early for our table they did their upmost to sit us straight away which was great!Although the food (we shared the Sunday roast) was really great it's the service I would particularly like to commend. Very attentive & despite what seemed a busy service for them... All done with big smiles! Great view from a bright, open & airy restaurant. Great food & great staff. Certainly recommend :)

My family and I enjoyed a fantastic family break at this hotel over half-term. My wife, my in-laws, and me are all veggies and we were prepared a superb menu to choose from at all meal-times- the staff were great and really couldn't do enough to help.Our girls (aged 9 and 12) enjoyed the pool and the spa, so despite the typical February Cornish weather, they had lots to do.The perfect family break.

Food was fine. Bit weird savoury dishes, felt the chef was trying to be clever but not quite pulling it off, but all nicely cooked and presented. Lovely puddings on our last night that we were able to have brought to our room to eat in front of the TV! Restaurant not that great to sit in for ages, but might have been because it was cold outside and curtains drawn.

Been suggested by friends - went for part of half term. Almost too many kids in one place despite that being the benefit of the hotel. Lots of smug parents wandering around for some reason? Staff are outstanding and food very good. Best for 5-8 year olds in our opinion....

Both my husband and I booked an evening meal in 'The Herring' restaurant during our stay. We were greeted by very friendly and helpful staff. The menu was varied as we were able to order from both menus ( The Herring & Wild Cafe ). We both had a soup for starters which was very tasty and came with a beautiful bread board. My husband had a medium rare steak with a peppercorn sauce for his mains, which was cooked perfectly and very succulent. I ordered a fish meal of pollack and shrimps which was divine. The service and food throughout our evening was first class and we will definitely eat there again on our next visit.

I'd stayed at the Bedruthan's sister hotel, the Scarlet, before and was happily surprised to discover that the decor and buzz at the Bedruthan was more than a match, with views that are better. Outstanding service and great food.

We were very fortunate to spend the weekend at the Bedruthan Steps Hotel. It's always a treat but this time we had the weather to go with the beach! - When we arrived it felt like we were in Spain. We spent the afternoon on Margan Porth Beach and the evening at the hotel with a fantastic meal in the busy restaurant. Our room was a Chalet/Villa style with two bedrooms and a panoramic beach/sea view. Everything about our visit was fabulous the only thing we didn't get to do was visit the Spa and Huge Jacuzzi! - This is always a treat but we are coming back before Christmas so we can enjoy it then. Our Waitress and all the staff were friendly relaxed and on the ball. A great place to stay with a family!

Excellent seafood pasta and a nice selection of wine by the glass. Great views from the adult-only restaurant. An extensive selection for breakfast, and so nice to have an expresso.

This restaurant ticks all the boxes for us, plenty of glass giving great sea views, modern décor (retro), sound absorbing panels or clouds depending on which restaurant, adult only areas ie, no dogs or children, good, well presented food and really helpful and friendly staff - what's not not like? Pity it's not nearer our home or we'd be there all the time. Haven't stayed overnight yet but looking forward to some good winter deals.

Lovely ambiance and a superb view together with friendly and accommodating staff make this a gorgeous eating experience.

Ate in the Herring restaurant twice during our stay. This restaurant is adult only and a lovely setting. The service was great, and the menu extensive. Food and wine was very good.

I booked on the phone a few weeks in advance. Luckily I went in the day before to have a look, as they didn't have my booking for 10 down - we'd have been very disappointed if we'd turned up and there hadn't been any room for us. The staff were helpful in picking a good table with a view for my parents who were celebrating their 80th birthdays. We ate in the upstairs restaurant (same menu as downstairs and probably better views as it's higher up) because children under 14? aren't allowed in the 'posh' restaurant. Nice varied menu. Not too expensive. Childrens choices too. Good wine list. The waiter was a little too 'relaxed' but friendly and polite. Unfortunate that two of the dishes we ordered had missing ingredients when they turned up and the staff didn't really seem to care.

A very pleasant place ideal for families with fresh local produce and an excellent service provided by friendly staff.

My family and I have both stayed at the hotel and also just used the restaurant and Spa. Food is very good and not especially expensive. Service has improved and I like having lunch in the wild cafe. The place is very child friendly and to be honest is heavily used by 30 something's with young kids. Well worth a visit though even if like me my kids are late teens now. Booking on line is really good and we asked for and got a good sea view every time.

We had dinner here one night and we had really good service from the wait staff however the food was very mediocre. The choice of food wasn't overly exciting. We had better meals while holidaying in Cornwall.

We usually go to the sister hotel ( Scarlet) but, as we had our grandson with us, decided to try this hotel. Very friendly staff, lovely food, stunning views.Very family orientated.

Treat yourself most definitely. Take a leisurely drive along the gorgeous beautiful road, through Watergate bay and onwards to Mawgan Porth and stop off at the Bedruthan Steps Hotel for Sunday lunch. They have such a special way of serving your food, the roast and veg comes out in a large serving dish and you have the delight of delving in and finding the delicious contents, beetroot done to perfection, roast pork and crackling, yummy roast potatoes done in duck fat, and crispy tasty Yorkshire pudding. To top this off you get a to share plate of not one but three sweets and if you love Rhubarb crumble you will not be disappointed....it is mouthwatering. Add to this excellent food experience the amazing breathtaking view out to the ocean and your treat is complete.........and the service is absolutely first class

Loved the flavours and size of portions as well as the familiy friendly facilities including bouncer for the baby and plastic plates and cutlery for the toddler

Definitely the best breakfast buffet I have ever had. We went for a friends 18th birthday breakfast and were treated so well. The variety on the buffet was like no other and all top quality ingredients. Make sure youtry the various stewed fruits and curds!

Our family had a lovely lunch here. The views were fantastic from the restaurant. The staff were professional and it's very kiddy friendly.Would recommend it.

I had been wanting to stay at this hotel for such a long time, I was delighted to find out about an offer from their newsletter. From the outside you cannot imagine how lovely it is inside. Staff super friendly and kind, and it is all genuine and not over the top. The spa is fun and relaxed , again with good servicem I adored the breakfast overlooking Mawgan Porth, beautiful even with the rain and wind. The basic rooms are big with lots of storage. The only thing I would say is there is way too much furniture in the room and some items could be removed to give it more space. The deco is perfect and I love the natural soap and shampoo bars. I also wish there wasn't such a price difference on the sea view rooms. We were only booked to stay for a night, but I was enjoying myself so much, I didn't want to leave. So we popped down to reception to ask about room availability. They were wonderful and found an excellent rate for us to stay an extra night in the same room. Overall great and a wonderful big complex to explore and get lost in. I look forward to a return visit and the service really makes it. Better than a five star upmarket London hotel by far!

Just popped in to the Restaurant with friends for a quick lunchtime snack. Members of the party had a range of food which was considered OK. After ordering we had to wait rather too long before the food arrived. I had sweet potato and apple soup which seemed to be based on tomato and was unusually sweet but tasted OK. Fresh home made bread accompanied the dish but I had to ask for butter. Wife had crab bisque soup - bowl of soup which looked just like mine but with a little pot of white crab meat. But at £7.50 it was top price.Others had tapas which seemed to be fairly generous portions and was said to be tasty. The pulled meat burger was accompanied with a reasonable portion of chips and was finished off completely. But at £12.00 was not cheapWhat this restaurant has is a great play room for children which is just down the corridor form the restaurant. We were able to take our coffee in there to watch the kids play but in paper cups.The view from the restaurant of the wonderful Cornish coast which adds another star to any such place. Unfortunately we saw rather a lot of heavy sleet.

We visited on a beautiful day and the location is at its absolute best in the sunshine.The food was delicious, generally staff were efficient and attentive.As a bonus the children loved the outdoor play areas and then a visit to the soft play area inside.The restaurant downstairs, leading out to the grounds is very well designed, but all diners were seated upstairs in the Wild Cafe.We live only 20 mins away and its a joy to visit off season, one day I'd like to stay overnight to really see what this place has to offer!

Pros:Location, view & serviceCons:FoodThe staff, rooms, spa & location is lovely. Just what we wanted for a short couples getaway. However the food in the restaurant was such a let down. My lamb was dry & tough. It was replaced by the very efficient waitress, but I didn't really have a second option to choose from.The next mornings cooked breakfast (& I was still hungry from the night before) was greasy and the bacon was tough & rubbery. My wife & I left with a very mixed view of the hotel & it's restaurants.

Popped in as I was driving past and grabbed a late lunch, menu has changed a bit since last time so tried "burger of the moment" (lol). Had a venison burger which was awesome, best burger I've had in ages so I'll forgive the name and will be back with some friends

My husband and I visited today to use spa vouchers that we were given as Christmas presents. The staff in the spa were lovely and the spa itself was wonderful. We then both had spa treatments very relaxing and rounded off the day with a tapas lunch which was part of the spa deal. The meal was very tasty and filling and the service in the wild cafe was friendly and very efficient. We live locally and would certainly recommend the spa and tapas to anyone. It was a shame to leave to go home! We also met one of the owners Debbie who introduced herself what a very friendly nice woman she is.I for one can't wait to go back for another visit!

Went to have lunch on Saturday, and was told to wait for 15 mins, me and my partner politely sat in the waiting area, 30 mins we waited, then asked if we could have a table, told to wait, someone would come, an hour and 15 mins later we left, staff where rude and unpleasant and just didn't care, it's not like we where rude or anything just wanted some lunch, felt insulted and because by that time everywhere else had closed, missed our day off treat and ended up having a baked potato and cheese, which to be fair was very nice, with a bit of salt to season... Just can't beleieve they totaly ignored us, Shame was looking forward to it. Nice views, just very unkind service, could have just said no, rather than ignore us for over an hour.

Enjoyed a much needed cup of tea after a walk with the dogs on the beech. This hotel allows walkers and dogs in and makes them very welcome.

We booked this as a spa/meal deal. The Spa was fantastic and we will certainly be returning for this.The Meal, we had to wait along, long time for our first course and then for our second. The waiting team brought us extra complimentary bread and an extra glass of complimentary proseco and this with there professionalism saved the meal. My other biggest gripe for a restaurant that is attempting to offer high class food was the obvious finger marks all over the plate.(Picky I know)If you visit here as part of the deal then I am sure you will enjoy its value but as a stand alone experience we will not be visiting the restaurant again.

Down in Cornwall we decided to try a different restaurant from our usual Watergate Bay meal and read a review of the Bedruthan wild cafe restaurant. Arrived with a warm and friendly welcome from the staff, we could not fault the service we received. I am sorry to say the food wasn't half as warm or welcoming!My partner ordered Pollock fritters, which sounded light and fluffy on the menu, so we were disappointed when to large deep fried torpedo's arrived filled with mash potato and very little fish. I ordered the Makeral which was tasteless. The mains arrived (mine short rib beef his roast chicken) and my partners was cold and had to be sent back which took the entire length of time I ate my meal in to arrive back, even though we were told it would take 2 minutes. 1 glass of wine and a beer and £90.00 later we left thoroughly disappointed and would never return.Great shame as the Menu sounded delicious, but there isd no point telling a story if you cant back it up with flavour.

We were on a break in Cornwall and my fiance wanted to show me the Bedruthan steps so we decided to have dinner at the Herring. The decor and ambiance were nice but the food was very disappointing. I ordered lobster which was a special. But what I got was a scrawny anaemic piece of lobster served with an extremely spicy sauce which luckily I had asked for on the side and overcooked glass noddles. My partner felt equally hungry upon leaving the restaurant as his lamb dish was rather minimalist. Luckily I did not pay for my main as I complained. They seemed to be having an off-day based on the glowing reviews but I would not risk it.

Wow!! Fantastic evening for my daughters 11th birthday! We only live up the road and had never ventured to the wild cafe before, but after several friends locally, recommended it to us, thought we would give it a try. So pleased we did! Our daughter was made to feel so special, the staff were all really attentive, happy and made us feel most welcome, also amazing birthday drinks were created for her which she loved. The food was great, with a good range of choices which our group of 7 varied ages all enjoyed in a relaxed unrushed environment, and as for the sunset over the sea well... I would recommend this to anyone wanting a truly memorable evening!!

The Herring restaurant is a great place to eat. Firstly, the views over the sea are sublime (especially during sunset). The service is impeccable, the waiters and waitresses were all very engaging, and couldn't do more to help. The menu is limited, only 6 mains were on the menu during my stay, but the duck I had was fantastic. The rest of my party were equally pleased with the food. The prices are high (£20 for a main), and that's probably £5 too much. Desserts were far too expensive (£10), even though the chocolate mousse was lovely. The best parts of the restaurant is the friendly staff, lovely view, great food and the only thing that is slightly negative is the price, which is perhaps a little too high. During my stay at the hotel, there was elderflower champagne available, which was one of the best drinks I've ever tried, and it's even made on site!

Not sure how my parents found out about this place, but we called in and booked at The Wild Café (they also have one called The Herring, not sure if it’s better) after having a look at the impressive sounding menu. The service was wonderful – a friendly Polish lady served us throughout our evening and she was funny and chatty. I ordered haddock fillet in mussel and saffron broth which was good, the fish was done to perfection. However, my parents weren’t overly fond of their dishes – my dad called his pork dish “hugely disappointing”… whoops!However, the wonderful puddings saved the evening. My parents had cherry panacotta which they liked (I tried some, it was indeed yummy) and I had some raspberry and chocolate cranachan which I’d never tried before but would definitely have again after tonight. The service and pudding saved the evening, great shame about the main courses!

Our visit to the spa was perfect lovely and enjoyable however after visiting the wild cafe I will never return. I was do insulted by 1 particular staff member it changed my out look totally food was limited but service disappointing

The view was amazing from our table and the service brilliant. Very friendly and helpful staff.I booked in the Wild Cafe which was nice on a previous lunch at the restaurant. However, I should have really gone to The Herring restaurant as the vegetarian menu was much nicer! My husband had a lovely meal but as usual the vegetarian options were limited and uninspiring. When you pay about £80 for a meal in my opinion the main meal should be more than a bowl of pasta!We went to the cocktail bar for a drink and watched the sunset which was very enjoyable.

Walked in on Good Friday and could immediately feel the tension disappear. It's the type of place where the kids have freedom and fun with masses of activities for all ages (ours are 10 and 13). Straight to the outdoor pool for sunbathing and an April swim - surprisingly warm - and even caught a bit of a Cornish suntan. From superb dining (veggie kids brilliantly catered for) through to spa and indoor pool, tennis, pool, jungle tumble - even teenagers joined in- we had a superb time.With time for papers, books and relaxing, adults sit with shoes of and feet up in comfy sofas. Beautiful surroundings inside and out all topped of with cocktails by the magic mixologist Ian who surprised us every evening with wonderful concoctions. Adults dinner at The Scarlet took fine dining to a new level. With sadness we leave and look forward to planning our next visit down for a Cornish treat. Can't recommend highly enough!

We loved this hotel ... It's the most amazing hotel for children and adults alike ... Amazing entertainment for the little ones .. We had snakes and lizards one night a magician another ... They are entertained while we get to enjoy a pre dinner cocktail from the bar .. Made impeccably..,my husband and children had surf lessons with the fantastic instructor ... They are now addicted and surf weekly! It's just wonderful .. When we don't have the children the scarlett hotel is a fabulous retreat .. It's the sister hotel across the road ..l suggest you book the children in to a kids club .. Wander across to the scarlett read the paper and have a coffee while enjoying the calm and tranquility .

Liked everything about the hotel, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The spa was so relaxing and we had such lovely treatments. Food first class.

I had a fantastic time here and was very sad to leave. The facilities were exceptional I made full use of the spa and restaurants and was constantly impressed. The room was large and well equipped and cleaned to a very high level.

My boyfriend suprised me with a day spa and lunch. We had the tapas menu, we had large portions and a massive brownie sundae included. Very tasty food overall.

i was expecting an impressive sandwich for £7.50, but what i actually got was a skimpy piece of ham slapped in between bread that was on par with a lidle own brand, i did get a handfull of burnt crisps with it tho. on the plus side the mustard wasnt too bad. sort it out. gaz.

I booked lunch and a spa day for myself and 3 girlfriends, it was a special birthday too. We arrived for lunch, the dining room is spotlessly clean and has the most amazing views over the beach. Food was delicious and the service wonderful, and they remembered it was my friend's birthday without any reminder.The spa had some the most helpful staff I have ever met, thoughtful and courteous. All my friends and I felt it was the best spa experience we had ever had. We had the most relaxing and fabulous day, thank you all the staff at Bedruthan steps hotel, I can't wait to come back :)

Having stayed several times over the last couple of years with the family and loved it we decided to pop in for a light lunch ... it was expensive poor quality and not as I remembered. I ordered a crab sandwich for circa £10 not great poor presentation stale bread we advised the staff it was not great ... fell on deaf ears im sorry to say ... The views are still as stunning as ever and the hotel is spotlessly clean as usual ... suggest changing to a crap sandwich as this better reflects what was served. We had not been back as a family since just after they chanced the dining arrangements to meal credits as we did not enjoy this at all on our last visit and have not been back .Given the cost of accommodation you could potentially take your family to Barbados as we do also for similar money and feel you as the guest should be given a choice to simply have dinner bed and breakfast rather than meal plan credits and daily allowances ...as this is not want guests like myself are really looking for from a break away.

We had heard good things about 'Herring' previously and although the hotel itself hadn't really been our cup of tea previously, we decided to give Herring a go. I won't lie and say we weren't a little concerned as we wanted somewhere special for our last night of our holiday, showing our parents the delights of North Cornwall. We need not have worried in the slightest. The service from the very beginning was excellent. The restaurant ambiance was great, the decor funky and fresh. It was Halloween and the waiting staff had all made an effort. There was however nothing scary about the food. The starters showed great depth of flavour, real delicacy and balance. The mains were all excellent and the portions were generous. We opted for a Fiano which was crisp, dry and a good foil for most dishes. The veal, cod and pork were all excellent but perhaps the pork crackling could have done with just a bit more crispness. The deserts were superb, the Chocolate Fondant well worth the extra 15 minutes and the Brownie, chocolate sorbet were met with a mixture of whoops and groans of delight. In summary it was an excellent meal. We've eaten in some exceptional restaurants, we've eaten in some that perhaps have got a bit complacent or even think that their food is so good that hospitality and the overall experience can be ignored. Herring got it all just right. Everyone happy, everyone full of praise, more than happy to visit again and recommend it warmly. Compliments to Ben Harmer and the Front of House team.

Came as a last minute treat with our 6 year old. Our apartment was big, bright and had the most amazing views. Very clean bathroom and bed was huge. It was quite a way to walk to the eating areas, i got lost on one occasion ! The apartment area did have astrange "damp" like aroma and lots of cobwebs.Children could only eat in the Wild Cafe not The Herring - well they could but not after 6pm. The food was fantastic, the service was fantastic..the breakfast was the BEST ! lots of choice and local produce. The system they use for using your food entitlement is a little confusing, only being able to use it on food and not alcohol, and no soft drinks...it would be far easier without this. Children were not allowed in the bar areas and not in the main restaurant...this is being sold as a family friendly hotel. The soft ball area needed a good clean to be honest.All in all we had a lovely family relaxing afternoon and evening...we were in bed at 8pm as there was nothing for children after 7pm. Wonderful location, close to so many beaches and local places of interest...but was it really worth £335 a night ??! :(

This excellent restaurant serves first class food, the service was very good and not over the top! Compared to some other restaurants we visited on our trip, it was excellent value for money. This is a place not to be missed!!

Both the Wild Cafe and Restaurant have a great menu choice for all appetites, and a perfect view of the Ocean as well, what more can you ask !

Stayed for a week in June, what a fantastic hotel. Although geared for young families also perfect for a couples getaway.Ate most evenings in the wild cafe, not a massive menu but always specials available. Fish was superb. Breakfast also one of the best I have experienced with fresh fruit home made jams, fresh yogurt etc etc. kept us going all day.They charge extra for a sea facing view and some rooms are nicer than others. You can ask for one of the newly refurbished rooms . Lots of little touches like if your baby won't settle they encourage you to come downstairs to the lounge where you will be supplied fresh coffee by the night porter he will even warm the babies milk.This really is a first rate hotel that try to go the extra mile, go on treat yourselves you won't be disappointed!We will be back soon.

Fantastic view across the bay, watching the surfers and enjoying some simple but very good food. My wife and I enjoyed the salads which were most inventive, my daughter had a very tasty smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich on the freshest granary bread ever ( it was actually a round and a half with a scoop of salad) and my son's steak sandwich on a freshl baked crusty roll was perfect. The restaurant is full of primary colours and slightly childish but you can't beat that view - or the value for money food.

I ate in this restaurant for Sunday Lunch and it was very good. The portion was huge, and it was beef and pork. The only thing that let it down, was the veg, most was really good, but they put a kind of mediteranian rattatouie with olives in it, on the plate, and although this was nice, it just didn't go with the Sunday lunch theme, and overpowered everything. The staff were all lovely, and price was great £13.50 for the one course, or £18.50 for two, but I couldn't manage a pud, as the dinner was so large.

Went here as Husband used to holiday at the hotel when a child and always had very fond memories of the place.We ate here as a family to celebrate our anniversary whilst on holiday.We had the set menu (£35 a head I think)Food was nice don't get me wrong there wasn't much of it but it was nicely presented.We had 2 x set menu, 1 x child menu, 1 x bottle of house red and a soft drink. Bill came to (give or take) £100.I really didn't feel the food warranted the price to be honest, I've eaten at Fifteen on Watergate bay and feel that it's much more better value for money.Would I return? No.

great place hidden inside the hotel, the menu has a good selection of dishes. nice friendly place to eat, great decor and a fantastic view. lots of staff.

Herring restaurant was excellent, pork belly starter was the best yet, service was very natural, rally enjoyed our meal (apart from small issue with trying to pay a contribution to our friends meal in the same week). Eat with the family in Wild Café, food good, service not as good as herring and a menu for the kids to choose from would have made their day.

We ate at The Herring and the Wild Cafe. Both meals were excellent and the set menu at the Herring is great value

This hotel is hugely deceptive with a well dressed 70's chic feel restaurant hidden inside a bug ugly hotel frontage, this is a top draw restaurant with a genuinely, friendly, personable team keen to ensure we had an enjoyable meal the menu was not overly extravagant with a focus (rightly so) on local produce but we all enjoyed differing courses through the evening which all hit the spot

We dined here for five nights in early August 2013, including on our wedding anniversary, and were pleasantly surprised, to say the least. Down to earth and delightful staff, and really good food and wine.

The Herring at Bedruthan Steps Hotel was delightful, good food, great wine and lovely service. Nicely styled room

Loved the decor, very friendly down to earth staff, lovely atmosphere, great view. Waitress gave us planty of warning about the perils of the local seagulls, but in order to allow us to sit outside she went the extra mile to find us silver platter lids for our cream tea. Love it here and would highly recommend.

The view with a setting sun set is worth the trip to the WildCafe. Friendly staff and great decor was slightly let down by the food which as it pitches itself as being at the heart of the gourmet coast located between Jamie's 15 and Rick's Seafood Place was disappointing. The food was average, lacking in depth of flavour with combinations that did not quite pay off. Overall enjoyed the visit but would not return.

very good organisation from this hotel for my daughters wedding, at short notice, everything went fantastic. The children were taken care of by the childcare group from the hotel, while we ate in peace. It was wonderful.

We went to the Bedruthan for a wedding and thought the food was great. Lots of our friends stayed at the hotel and raved about it! We would def recommend this to family's as they offer a really good service where you can go and have supper in the evening and if your baby wakes a buzzer alerts you. They also have lots of great facilities for kids. We will definitely be returning.

Having been seriously disappointed with Fifteen at Watergate a few weeks before, we were looking for a good lunch venue around Newquay to celebrate our anniversary. Previous reviews were good so I e mailed cafe to make a reservation and mentioned it was a special occasion. I always thought the hotel looked a bit drab from the outside but had never been in before. The cafe was light with contemporary furnishings and a lovely big window looking on to the beach. Every bit as good as Fifteen so far. We were given a great table by the window and then a couple of glasses of Prosecco appeared, on the house because it was our anniversary. I was gobsmacked! What a fabulous gesture. We opted for the Sunday lunch and it was truly magnificent. Two kinds of meat, loads of vegetables, separate gravy & apple sauce boats. All cooked to perfection. Desert was bread & butter pudding and crumble. Neither of us are keen on bread pudding but I must say it was delicious. It came with custard but I asked for ice cream which came without any fuss. The custard though was real custard with vanilla flecks., lovely. The waitress was excellent and we had a good chat afterwards. The price was a big surprise, about a third of Jamie Oliver's place. I would never go there again but the Wild Cafe is a wonderful venue and I'm still raving about it to friends. Can't fault a thing, long may it continue!,,

I would just like to say thank you to the Bedruthan Hotel & Spa for an amazing Saturday evening meal in the Herring Restaurant. After following you on Twitter I thought I must book up and I am very glad I did. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 course meal. It was his birthday and our waitress Bryony asked if we had traveled far and what our occasion was for dining with you that evening, once I had said it was my boyfriends birthday, minutes later she brings over 2 beautifully presented strawberry champagne cocktails. Which were very refreshing I must say. Each course that came out was superb, especially loved the Cornish mackerel with pak choi, curry paste and coconut (would love to try this at home) it was mouthwatering. After our mains which was also heaven we had dessert. My boyfriend being a lover of carrot cake ordered that and you guys went all out and gave him a plate which said Happy Birthday in chocolate. He was very impressed. We will be returning very soon with friends and family as I can not fault this little place of heaven. Thank you once again. Taor xPS the sunset finished it off perfectly

Company function over two Ayshford so giving a chance to experience consistency. Food very good on most occasions though some flavours in fish dishes overwhelm but a small point. Very good lunches and fabulous breakfasts to suit all palates. Staff welcome and natural friendliness and customer service stand out as well as the location and facilities.

Their spa is the highlight - overlooking the beach with steam room etc. - they wont allow overbooking so you are guaranteed a relaxing experience.

Stayed by chance my flight was missed so stuck at the airport A quick phone call and a room was available quick check in no hassle Lovely clean room with fridge and fresh milk Lunch was good Dinner was even better All staff are very welcoming The arrangements in the restaurant was very good with the young ones in a separate area A great family hotel with plenty to keep everyone busy The ethos on the environment made you feel good tooWhen I started telling people about this hotel,they all knew it too!!!!!I really do need to take my here its sop good

Had a fantastic lunch at Bedruthan last week, freash Crab sandwich and delicious salad. Beautiful decor and an amazing sea view.Highly recommend and will definately return.

Just relaxing in the Bar at the Bedruthen Hotel having had a brilliant meal in the Herring. The food was the best I have tasted for many years. The veiw and service was excellent. Wasn't sure if I should write a review as I would like to book in again and I am sure that the new chief will fill the place in no time.Just one start better than Riick Stine's I am sure he will visit soon to see how to cook the best fish dinner in Cornwall. 14/04/2013George (Delighted)

I booked online for my sons 21st birthday who was visiting from university , arrived and was pleased to have a stunning view of the beach / sea ,,, just a shame it was cloudy so no sunset ! The service was excellent , attentive and friendly apart from waiting to pay for our meal !!! Perhaps they didn't want their well earned payment ? The food was very tasty and would recommend the fish and Chips highly ,,, we had no room for the lovely sounding desserts however my son was rightly embarrassed by some singing waiters and a small birthday cake with candle that was a complete surprise , and a lovely touch ! We live local and will definately be bringing more family and friends to experience this great "cafe "

Absolutely fantastic food, very much liked the fact it was all sourced locally within 10 or so miles thus bringing business to local people.

Fabulous choices and nice to know all the ingredients are local, where available. High quality ingredients and imaginitive combinations.

A February Saturday night and we were one of only four tables in the adults only area of the Wild Cafe. Seemingly run by the same management as the nearby and higher price category Scarlet Hotel, the Wild Cafe offers a different atmosphere and menu.We couldn't see the view as night had fallen so there's a good reason to return for lunch. The attentive staff looked after us well and the dishes all arrived prompt and were tasty.The stylish decor was matched by the music. Recommended.

Great lunch, really innovative lunch with all in one bowl idea. lovely service from friendly staff" bar man really passionate about local wines and beers!

Try it - you will love it. My full review is based upon the hotel itself, but if commenting on just the restaurant I would say it is very hard to beat.
