Spent 3 nigjhts over New Year at the Pentire, which overlooks Fistral Beach from the back of the hotel. It is family run, with the owner present every day. There is a very friendly atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble if you have a specific request. There is a lovely pool and sauna. Also a games area.The food is excellent, with a varied menu every day for all meal times. All served by efficient, happy staff. There is a small bar with a very comfortable seating area, and the prices were very reasonable; for both alcohol and tea or coffee. There was entertainment every night and, although not to our particular taste some of the time, there were a lot of people enjoying themselves. Our room was clean and warm but in need of some refurbishment (which, we were told, would be carried out in the next few weeks). A hairdrier was supplied. Tea and Coffee making facilities were replenished every day. On the down side, the room was a bit small for a twin and we are not large people. A light was broken and hanging off the wall above one of the beds. The extractor fan in the bathroom was very noisy and struggling to extract anything. The bath panel was hanging off and only kept in place by a waste paper bin. It was very shabby. However, these were only minor irritations as we had an enjoyable break. Would recommend The Pentire as a good priced, family friendly hotel, where you can thoroughly relax.

This is the second time we have spent the New Year at this hotel, the first was 2 years ago..... A lot has happened in that time, massive increases in costs, food, fuel, etc must bring pressure on hotels, so I was expecting some cutbacks and increases but we were not aware of any..... The cost of staying was up a bit as you would expect but still a bargain.....The drinks were very reasonable and coffee or tea during the day also ...The food at this hotel is exceptional, beautifully cooked with a wide variety and plenty of it.... The waiting staff were great too, nothing was too much trouble and amazingly they appeared to be all English!..... This is a family owned and run hotel and the owners and their family joined the guests for the complete New Year which in these days of chain hotels is a nice touch, great confidence in your product......Just a couple of niggles, our room left a bit to be desired, decoration wise one of the bedside lights was hanging off and not working and the bathroom was dire really, bath panel hanging, off noisy useless fan a bit seedy and generally in need of TLC... The entertainment was not as good as last time.. However the good far outweighed the bad and I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would happily return.

We stayed for 3 nights for Twixtmas break and could not fault the hotel. Every member of staff was friendly and helpful, the food was superb and there was good entertainment each night. Our room was comfortable and clean and we would definately stay again.

I arrived late restuarant closed but was offered a take away ordered in. Guests were among the friendliest i have met staff were great and the room with a sea view was great also.
Breakfast was a good do and a good start to the day.
Will definately return again and would recomend to anyone.
