Fantastic food, views, bar and ambience with warm and friendly staff and easily the best place in/around Porth and well worth the 5 minute walk from the beach, although also directly accessible from the beach at low tide. Unfortunately we only stumbled on this late in our holiday during a moment of curiousness but have visited twice already and hope to return

Beautiful location overlooking Porth Beach and beyond. Extremely friendly and helpful. Quiet spot for a Guiness or 2. Thanks to Nigel for delivering the Buggy and complimentary pass and to Amber, Carlos and Susan for impeccable service

Personal amable, y las mejores vistas de la isla y la costa Porth a Trevose Head Lighthouse. La comida muy buena, la mejor crema de patata dulce que he probado.

Horrible, tuvimos que esperar 1 hora para 4 personas con sólo le serviremos en el restaurante y la comida estaba doblado en el precio de la factura. Asquerosa táctica.

I wasn't expecting a good experience due to the previous reviews but it was lovely which is why I felt I should write a review. The chef went out of his way to accommodate our group which included a vegan and three vegetarians. The waitress was absolutely delightful and the service was really fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone. The views are spectacular of course and it was a lovely trip down memory lane having got married there 27 years ago.

Full English breakfast - not quite! Fried egg was swimming in oil. I've never had fried bread in a hotel before, do people really eat this? It's just a cheap plate filler. No fruit or Croissants....so disappointing.

Nice staff but too busy for them to manage effectively. Breakfast was ok but little variation beyond a full English, omelettes etc. Tasted ok but wouldn't go back.

Visited recently, so starters were very very poor, crispy pork was cold and not what I would call a starter with a few bits of rice on some salad leaves, Main meals were ok I mean they were hot enough and tasted ok but we're not how I pictured them from the menu, way below average standard! Staff seemed nice but lacked major professionalism for somewhere charging what they do and were to the standard of a poor harvester restaurant. Desserts were all cold and looked like they were defrosted from Iceland, 100% certain we were overcharged by about £20, guess I should have checked receipt before paying I guess! Overall the price was shocking, service below average food on the whole greatly disappointing. Hate leaving bad reviews but this was really poor.

We were staying in Porth for our son's wedding and our friends were staying in the Glendorgal so we had breakfast with them . We have had breakfast in many hotels and this was the poorest breakfast we have ever had. There was a menu which listed fresh fruit and fruit compote. There were neither of these and when we asked we were told they could not get any so could not make them (there are a lot of shops in Newquay so I found this unbelievable) all they had was tinned prunes, tinned grapefruit and runny yogurt and a few boxes of cereal. The cooked breakfast was ok but nothing special. The staff (there was only 1) was not helpful and miserable. Our friends said their room was tired and could do with updating. It seems that as this hotel is in such a lovely location they think that is enough but it is supposed to be a top quality hotel so we expected much, much more.

Welcoming staff, and stunning views. Food was really good. However, my son's bean burger turned out to be fish cakes (not even on the menu). Staff sorted the problem really well, this is why I am still giving 4 stars

I ate here for 3 nights while staying at the hotel. EVERY meal bar one is accompanied by skinny fries. There are very few meals that are served with any fresh veg and the choice seems to have been put together by a teenager...burgers, fish and chips etc. For more info see my hotel review

Does exactly what it says on the tin - and so welcoming - a must for anyone visiting and wanting to enjoy something tasty!

Stayed here with my partner. We were mostly happy! Arrived and were given a twin room with a land view and said we would prefer a double room so the receptionist moved us without any problems (to a sea view room for no extra cost!) We went swimming and for the two hours we were there we had the pool to ourselves which was nice however the website says that there is a hot tub, no hot tub! And the sauna was out of order. The restaurant was lovely, great food, great service and a lovely view. A little on the pricey side but was worth it. Was nice to see the chef going around the tables to make sure that everyone was ok! The rooms were a little dirty, that's the only thing that let the hotel down really! Cobwebs in the corners, dusty windows and hairs on our spare pillows! We would return again, just hope the unclean room was a one off!

This is a lovely place and over the last 10 yrs been probably 6 times and have never been disappointed the view is amazing .i would recommend on a Saturday if there is a wedding going on to think about closing the restaurant to outside customers. When we turned up it felt like we were gate crashing a wedding not having a nice meal for 2 out... the bar was busy , the atmosphere just wasn't there! No light back ground music. The whole meal i had screaming children running past the table.. the food was average for the price you pay, the waitress was foreign, very friendly...almost too friendly! This place used to have a clean, upper market feel to it. Its used to feel great and like you were going out for dinner and could dress up! it needs some tlc and someone to love it and look after it again! Noone seemed to be in charge or know what there doing..

Had my wedding here last Friday I think every guest that came (100+) said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! Great service from staff especially Amanda! Zack the head chef was a delight to work with and everything was better than myself and bride could EVER imagine

Unchilled Prosecco, steak hanging over the edge of the tiny "starter size" plate, half a plate of salad, garlic bread with no garlic - merely toast with a bit of butter/herbs, tarte au citrone which could have been bought from Iceland for £1. Not impressed. Oh, and upon asking for a fork as well as a spoon for my desert, overheard the waiter say to a waitress "SHE now wants a fork!"

I stayed at the hotel after an unexpected need to fly to Newquay airport. The location (and in particular view) are great, as was the service which was very attentive. Just a shame that the food was so middle of the road. For a restaurant that sells itself as a high end establishment, it felt more middle of the road pub grub (but with small portions and expensive pricing).

We have eaten here a few times as it's in the hotel we stay in. The menu is a little uninspired and it is really to expensive for the quality but the view and location go some way to making it a nice evening.

The menu was small but good. We shared the whitebait, and very glad we did as portion whas huge - and very nicely gooked - not laden with batter like some! My OH had the catch of the day with chips which was delicious and I had a salad - we would have ate there a second night but the menu hadn't been changed so decided not to but I would deffo eat here again.

Came because of previous good reviews & can see why. Not a huge menu but all beautifully cooked. Crisp veg melt in the mouth fish . Not over salted. Lovely sauces. Wine not over priced either.

I liked Everything!!! The menu was full of interesting meals and the staff was even inviting of my suggestions with a couple days in advance in order to accommodate me.

Stayed at the hotel so this was a lazy man's option for supper but turned out to be really good. Food was reasonably priced, not the cheapest by any stretch, but then the portions were extremely generous. The views over Porth beach are lovely and provided a nice backdrop to the meal. Great food and convenient if you have the option to take the short stroll to a room in the hotel.

Beautiful building. Amanda the barmaid/waitress was very helpful and friendly. My family had the ham egg and chips, which was outstanding. I had fish and chips, the fish was delicious and fresh. The puddings were sinful and beautifully made.

Went for a coffee and was told could only have take away as it was 15:40 on a Sunday, my wife and I are both disabled and I have an ostomy and asked to use the loo and was told I could only if I buy something, so it cost me 7 quid for two takeaway coffees just to use the loo....thanks national trust

We stopped for an ice cream while on the search for our car keys which we lost on the beach!! 🤦🏽♀️ The rum and raisin ice cream was AMAZING and no complaints from the kids and hubby with their choices! The lovely gent who served us got his wife Zara to help us with locating the keys which luckily where found and left at the RLNI across but was closed, she managed to find someone who got the keys So thank you so much for your help lovely people and for the ice creams! 🥰 wishing you all the best x
