Porth Avallen Hotel and Reflections Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had an amazing stay. Sure, the hotel is dated (I struggle to understand why it’s so dated when it was completely refurbished in 2004 - clearly to a 1984 style guide) but you have to look beyond that. The team here are brilliant. The reception team couldn’t have been more helpful or kinder. The same team run the bar and do so really well. We were made to feel really welcome and cared for. The food was very good, the location is perfect. The wildly eclectic collection of furniture is so bad that it’s nearly good. We found the shower was fine, the beds and bedding were clean, the hotel was well managed and kept. People, not paint, make places and the people here are wonderful. The coffee needs an upgrade if I’m honest but there’s a great speciality coffee place in Charlestown (the hotel should approach about supplying beans here) which is a 10 minute walk down the coastal path. The sea swimming here is safe as the bay is very sheltered and the coastal walks are sublime. Hat-tip to the restaurant and reception staff, they make this place great despite it being a triffle tired.

we have a lovely stay...it maybe an old house that is the hotel but it has a charm and maybe it is a little tired in places most old houses are but it was clean and the staff and the chef are wonderful and very friendly and could not do enough for us...at meal times if we asked for some thing it was got for us and with a smile...you only have to ask.... when in cornwall again we will be back for another stay....

Location was lovely but we found the food to be inadequate, we had dinner the first night only.

Absolutely beautiful and they view 🤩 I travel to their hotel for their wedding guest hair style and help them get ready.

Amazing views, great location, beautiful gardens. Staff are very nice, food is lovely. You are paying a premium for the views. Rooms are very dated and need updating, shower are old and cold. Mould on the ceiling of the bathroom.

We have been welcomed by the owner muttering, whilst on the phone, "wipe your feet on the doormat before coming in". Once we were inside, we smelled the stale scent of carpet and immediately thought some water and soap could help. The main courses were decent but bland, prices were steep but expected. The surprise came with the bill: they overcharged the wine by £16 (they amended it after having told them) and they charged our table £24 for 9 bite-size slices of stale bread and a can of pitted olives from Tesco. We found the overall experience soulless, you could do so much better than this

As locals, we used to frequently call in at this hotel for coffee. However we won't be coming again with a tiny hot chocolate (with no trimmings), from a faulty machine costing £5.50. We have been informed that the owner has recently put the prices up. (A packet of Crisps also costs £5.50). These prices are not on the hotel website. It would be cheaper to go down the road to the 4 star Calyon Bay Hotel or to Costa. My wife also reported that the ladies' toilets had used toilet paper all around the pedestal.

Nice view from the hotel. Great staff

Live local and we decided to go for a coffee because of the view, which is spectacular. As someone with a disability the carpark is hazardous. Going in not a soul around . Wasn't like I thought it would be. Somewhat tired. Tea was OK apart from the packet of biscuits that were over a year out of date. Not very impressed.

lovely views but that's were the good stuff stops , rooms and hotel dated , rooms freezing cold , food and beer over priced , will not be staying here again.
