Very well designed, but room was a little tired in details largely in bathroom floor tiling. But rest of room was very shic and nicely put together.
The room was at the front of the building and got all the noise from the road and people leaving pubs late in the evening. Ear plugs would be a good idea, guess it would be even more so in summer when warm and people are out later. The heating was on full to get the room nice and warm for my arrival but did nearly burn myself on the radiartor in the bathroom with it being so close to the wc when you sit down it was really warm. Bit of my error too.

Great room, fantastic staff and very tasty food
All good, though parking was a hassle but that’s more to do with the town than the hotel

Very comfortable bed! The room was thoughtfully curated to give a home rather than hotel feel. Neat touches, such as how the radio, tea/coffee/ water is laid out. I stayed in December, the room was comfortable warm, not chilly at all.
Bar and restaurant downstairs if needed.

Very friendly staff. Rooms were boutique and lovely. Amenities within the building were great.
Slightly older building that is not overly accessibility or luggage friendly.

We arrived at 8.30am on the overnight train and the staff were great. They held on to our luggage for us and said we should return around 1.30pm (rather than 3pm) when our room would be ready. The room was absolutely lovely and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with a lot of choice as was dinner, I highly recommend the Cornish mussels in Cornish cider. We had the most relaxing weekend.
Nothing.

I had stayed before, and this stay was as comfortable as the last.
The staff were very helpful. I had asked for a non pet friendly room and it was all arranged before I arrived.
The location in the centre of town means that both town and the ocean are within walking distance.
I guess the smallest annoyance is that the property has no parking, but I was lucky to find street parking just yards away, and am aware that there are town car parks close by, so really a very minor problem.

The real Art on the walls, nicely appointed bed rooms, trendy vibe… good selection of local beers and gins.
Our room looked out onto a wall 3 feet away/ we could have been warned… or offered a different room perhaps. Staff seemed a little under duress..
The food was nt that great.

It was cozy and nice, but in the pictures the room looks bigger. The pictures don’t match reality.

The hotel is vey stylishly decorated. The breakfast and dinner were both excellent, with large portions! The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great and is perfect for taking the ferry to the Isles of Scilly, as it's only a short stroll away.
We stayed for two separate nights. On the first night the room was charming but quite small. On the second night we were fortunate to be given an upgrade to a fabulous large room with an amazing copper bath, as well as a shower.

Nice not to have a corporate style. Good to offer gluten free options.
Breakfasts were expensive (just under £20 for full Cornish and coffee) especially when there were no cereals etc. to eat while waiting for hot food.

The staff was fantastic - my husband was sick so they were able to find an additional room for me, continually checked in about how he was feeling, and delivered food to his room. The location is fantastic - couldn't be a better place to stay - close to the water, close to town with shops and restaurants, close to public transportation. The rooms were clean and each had a distinct personality.

Really cute artistic space. Clean. Friendly staff.
Only issue is bottom flow has no air con so in the summer gets a little warm in the room, but fan was provided. I did not notify the staff of this, which they likely would have provided a remedy.

We loved the ambiance at the place, our room was lovely and very clean. The location was very good. Our room was small as we booked the Small Double Room, just a heads up if that's a problem to you. The breakfast was also great even though it was not included.
During our check-in and check-out, nobody was present so we had to wait for someone to come.

Staff were lovely. Food was great. Bed was comfy, we were in their small ground floor room, but for one night, it suited us well. I did not feel rushed at breakfast or dinner. Its close to the Scillonian ferry, enabling us to walk in a town where taxis are hard to get. Room was warm, quirky and cosy, with 2 windows and a window in the bathroom. Pub opposite looked interesting (the Admiral Benbow) but was closed for our visit, but there is a separate bar snd outside area at this hotel
Shower only had the large rainfall head so if you don’t plan on washing your hair, you end up doing it anyway.

Everything is much appreciated and particularly the lots of small additional and thoughtful touches which are both convenience and comfort. A great job. I must also congratulate you on your wonderful all rounder Chloe, who clearly has significant experience in hospitality and all that entails, and will have a wonderful career in it. A great stay, fabulous dinner, and highly recommended. Well done!

Beautiful decor and building close to the harbour where we really needed to be.
Bed and pillows were comfy. Coffee machine was just what I needed in the morning. Shower was lovely.
Great pub on other side of road, Turks head.
Room 16, lovely although a blackout blind would have been an advantage to get the lay in we needed.
Room 17, lovely room but the nose from the road was terrible and spoilt what could have been perfect.
Overall was a lovely place but the price was too high especially for not having breakfast included or potentially a dinner included instead?! Just a thought.

Room is a bit smaller than expected. but have separated shower and bath tub. Pillows too soft.
Tea/ bottle water/ coffee refill everyday. Even umbrella was provided inside the room. Plenty of cleaning amenities. Even bubble bath.
All others are up to expectation except the fan.
The fan provided was full of dust inside so when turn on dust were blew all over the bed and the floor. We have to clean the fan ourself with the tooth brush provided ..hahaha.

The bath was huge and amazing, with beautiful bath products! (And fluffy white dressing gowns) The dinner downstairs was delish and great breakfast too. The room was super well equipped. Loved it.

The amenities were good - some nice touches like the bramble toiletries. The location was great.
The room was very small (even for a small “double”) and it was also a bit grubby and dusty in places.
