My wife and I have just spent a two night package at this hotel along with my brother & wife, having first visited the place some 52 years ago, when a relative owned it. A few things have changed over the years, of course, but many of the old features remain, which is nice to see. Currently it's well managed... More

I have visited the bistro over half a dozen times now and have always left a happy customer. the weekday 2 or 3 course deals are excellent value and the food is always fresh and tasty. To top it all the setting is stunning and has beautiful views to Rame head and Looe bay. I would thoroughly recommend this to... More

We stayed here for a couple of days in order to play a game of golf. When we arrived we were a little taken aback as the hotel looks a little dated. However, the staff were a treasure and couldn't be faulted, the food was really superb [a real surprise and one that is worth a visit in itself] and... More

Upon arrival at the hotel we were given the key to room 18. It had a small double bed with absolutely no space to move around in and so we asked to be moved. Four nights in such cramped surroundings would have spoilt our stay! Lady at reception was super and showed us the tower room! Split-level room with views... More

Whitsand bay Hotel just gets better and better every year. A unique place with views that are worth the stay alone. The fact that the food is beautifully presented and delicious is a bonus. The Phillips family and their ever helpful staff are brilliant hosts, going out of their way to ensure that my family, which includes a 6 yr... More

We recently attended a wedding at nearby Polhawn Fort and stayed at the Whitsand Bay Hotel for two nights. The hotel's location is fabulous with sea views, pretty gardens and a short walk down to the beach below. The hotel lounge is designed for comfort - big slouchy sofas, comfy chairs, and shelves brimming with well thumbed books and assorted... More

Enjoyed a beautifully cooked and presented Saturday lunch here, with family for my mother in laws 88th birthday treat. Beautiful setting, stunning scenery, gorgeous sunny day. Exceptional value with their £10 for two courses or £12.50 for three. No grumbles at all and can highly recommend. More

We found Whitsand Bay whilst on holiday in Cornwall last year and thought that the beaches were fantastic (reminiscent of those in France), a truly beautiful part of Britain that it largely unspoiled and is worth shouting out about. However the same can’t be said for the Whitsand Bay Hotel, which is the polar opposite. The hotel is shabby and... More

We clearly recall your visit and feel it is necessary to add some balance. You called into the hotel to speculatively ask if we had accommodation. As it was August, we were very full with only a few rooms becoming available later that day. You made no reference to the fact that you had a baby child with you. As... More

We stayed here on the groupon deal, paying £10 extra for a sea view room - and that was well worth it - fantastic to wake up to that, even (or perhaps especially!) on a February morning. Absolutely no complaints at all about this gem of a place - we were pleased with our room, the food and the service... More

I recently stayed at the hotel with a large group of friends. This was my third visit to the hotel, but the hotel with its stunning location and views still wow me! As with my previous visits the staff and owners alike were most friendly and accomodating. The food, both in the relaxing bar and restaurant, was superb. I particularly... More
