Hotels With Swimming Pools in Cornwall, United Kingdom

We had 2 nights here, 11-13 July. We arrived late, between 10-11pm, and the counter staff was very friendly n helpful. We did not manage to get dinner due to train delays but the front staff was kind to inform us that we could purchase some cold sandwiches and he would make sandwiches for us. 😊 The room price includes breakfast for which we were glad. We enjoyed the breakfast thoroughly. The views from the hotel overlooking the St Ives beach is truly amazing. The hotel grounds were immaculately maintained. You must walk through their walled garden … it is well landscaped and very beautiful. It felt like walking in some professionally well curated botanical garden. 👍🏼

On arrival we were given our room key to which I was hoping to find a lovely harbour view which we booked. Unfortunately I couldn’t see the harbour from my window which was very disappointing so we had to pay for an upgrade for a sea view. The view i have to say was stunning, but the room was needing some TLC. For the price we paid per night the room was unacceptable, being we paid another £60 to upgrade. Where to start… The fridge didn’t work and when i told reception they just said it’s a temperature of a cool box NOT a fridge. (Then don’t say fridge on the web site). Our milk went off. They only provide small sachets of long life milk which I’m not a fan off. The water didn’t come out of the dated shower head properly and being it’s an over the bath shower it was so slippery. The walls were grubby, and the loo roll holder was broken. Severe lack of communication with us ie… no explaining about the bar that’s closes at 5pm and need to order from the restaurant. No telling us about where the spa was or opening times of the restaurant. No telling us about fire exits. The breakfast was ok but no ham or cheese on the continental selection like advertised on their webpage and also on the menu. Lovely view for an expensive price but definitely NOT what i call four star hotel.

I did not stay here I am reviewing the bar restaurant at the hotel which I visited a number of times on my holiday in the area. The bar is wonderful sitting inside or out for its fabulous views of the beach and coastline. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's clean bright and airy. We did have some nachos to share as a snack but whilst they were nicely presented, hot and crisp, the ingredients were not fresh. I don't mean they were past their best but the salsa was obviously from a jar or the like and so was the guacamole as it had the texture and appearance of light green custard rather than being made from avocado. It just tasted savory rather than tasting like guacamole and the cheese used was very mild grade, not being very tasty.

Swimming pool was very cold, we spent less than 5 minutes in the water it was very disappointing. (Cant comment on other spa amenities as were closed covid-19 problems) Breakfast was great and the spacing of seating was good it made us feel comfortable and safe. Evening restaurant was too brightly lit and felt very uncomfortable, not the kind evening setting we were expecting (maybe our own issue) however we ordered dinner to the room and were really happy with the prompt arrival of our food and the quality. Great location and great setting, would recommend and revisit in the summer.

1. The hotel is on a small slope on the edge of Penzance City. It takes only 20 minutes to walk to the city center. In fact, it is very convenient for travel. It is also very close to Penzance Railway Station and the port. It takes 15 minutes to drive to see Mount Saint Michel. 2. The hotel provides a lot of snacks, the sea view room has an excellent view and is worth recommending. If you want hot food for breakfast, you need to charge a little extra, and the quality of other meals is also good. 3. If you come by car, you need to call the hotel to book a parking space, about 4.5 pounds a day parking fee. 4. The hotel's cancellation policy is to cancel 14 days in advance. 5. The corridor of the hotel is relatively narrow and there is no elevator, and it may not be convenient to have too much luggage.

The hotel is in a suburb, the suburb of Bodmin, next to a highway service toll station, but there are few food at the toll station, just McDonald's, Subway and a Coop supermarket. If you want to go to Bodmin town for a meal, you can't do it without a car. Because it takes more than 2 hours to walk. So in theory, it should be normal to take away food. We bought food and prepared to eat in the hotel lobby, and then the front desk staff came and said that you can't eat, our place provides meals, and you can't eat takeaway food. To be honest, this is the first time I heard this reason. I'm not sitting in your restaurant, can't I eat takeaway in the lobby? I've stayed in many HIXes in the UK, and I came across this one, which was arrogant and acted like it had a reason. Other HIXes will let you use plates and knives and forks. This one will only drive people away. I thought they wanted me to buy their wine, so we bought it, and after buying it, they still drove people away. It was really annoying. Later I thought he was discriminating. Because the table next to me was eating pizza, so, see.

Five-star recommendation, super location, invincible sea view, breakfast included, mainly the scenery is very good, just next to the train station, there is a small road into the restaurant, the bar and the bar are sea views, there is a large terrace outside, sitting can drink Afternoon tea, sit at the bar and drink at night, watching the seascape outside. The room I booked was small, but it was not bad. It also provided slippers and bathrobes, bath towels, etc. It was very convenient to go down to the beach for a few minutes. It was the most recommended hotel next to the beach, and it was relatively new.

Booked a night away for my daughters hen night with 6 close friends. Wanted a lovely meal and a relaxing stay to pamper her. Firstly the accommodation was beautiful had 2 lodges, extremely clean and lovely views. Sadly, that was the only good experience. Booked lunch, spa and evening meal weeks in advance and paid extra for a late checkout. On arrival I paid in full. Staff in bar on arrival were too busy having a disagreement and didn’t even acknowledge us (we were the only ones stood waiting). After a while got served and had drinks on the lovely terrace. Went for lunch where we waited approx 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We only ordered light bites and no full meals. One didn’t arrive until 30 minutes after everyone else finished. Asked for drinks, took another 20 mins. After this went to pool area.. very nice and clean. Came back to hotel for evening meal, restaurant was busy and was told by waitress probably better to order drinks and food at same time as they had a new computer system and only one barman! Ordered drinks and some water for table. Nothing arrived for 30 mins so I went to bar to just ask for some water. Barman huffed and said only had 1 jug left! I asked if I could please take that myself as we were all thirsty, food then arrived, still no drinks. So I went back to bar after another 20 mins, again grumpy barman moaned as we had asked for 2 aperol spritz and he’d run out of aperol. By that stage I just said we would have anything! Waitress was busy and said other guests needed serving before us, making us feel very low down on the list even though we arrived before them. After we had finished and others had left she realised it was a special occasion and offered us 1 glass of Prosecco to make up for waiting .. between 7 of us! We commented that was a bit tight so she then offered us a bottle! When bill came we were overcharged by £40 for swimming?! I questioned this and it was a mistake by new system! We were going to stay later for drinks, but decided it wasn’t very welcoming, so went back to the lodge and had a lovely evening. At 9am both lodges received phone calls to ask for proof of payment of accommodation as they clearly lost this… on the new system! Not great when we wanted a (paid for) lay in and being accused of not paying! On checkout produced the receipt to the apologetic receptionist (who was the nicest member of staff there). The Manager was called and agreed this hadn’t been a good one night stay for a bride to be and our experience was not as it should have been. She said she would give us a part refund as ggw but as the “new system” wouldn’t let her do it there and then, would contact us the next day to sort this. Yesterday was the first email I had received after 2 months and me contacting them 4 times, from the food and beverage manager, saying they gave us a bottle so that was enough!! All I wanted was a relaxing night for my daughter and friends, not a Fawlty Towers night with rude staff! Sha

Very friendly and helpful staff. Fabulous room with great sea view. Well appointed bathroom with huge fluffy towels and lovely toiletries. Super food….really excellent fish and chips. Great location. All in all, a very special place to stay.

We stayed in a holiday home just down road from here there was 6 off us and ever time we went in it was no trouble and they were very friendly and the food was amazing and very large portions as well and there was and old Wurlitzer in corner with log fire it was just amazing

Good hotel. Personally I think it’s a little too expensive for what they offer. It’s an old hotel and you can definitely feel that. However, some people like that stuff. Staff were friendly and welcoming which after a long journey is the most important. The room was clean and mostly well equipped to support your stay. Shame we got the road view instead of the beach view.

The room design is very special and the accommodation is very comfortable. The attic room is hot during the day when it is sunny. The hotel does not include breakfast, but there is a restaurant downstairs, which tastes very good. There are some specialty shops near the hotel, which are worth visiting. Most of Penzance's accommodations are on the hillside, not far from the hotel from the train station, but it is tiring to climb the slope with luggage. To all major attractions is to take a car from the railway station. There are several Chinese restaurants on the market steet, which taste pretty good.

We only saw the owner the last morning to pay. I had received a message before we arrived, with the instructions and the number of our room. The keys of our room were left on the door and the main door was left open all the time. We don't particularly like this system, but I found this quite often around the UK and Scotland. Also, the owner was always reachable over the phone and everything we requested was done and provided. Our room was big. Breakfast was self service in the room so they provided fresh fruits, milk, yoghurt, orange juice, eggs, bread, jam, butter, tea and coffee every morning. We had a microwave, cutlery, glasses, cups and plates. The negative aspects for us were: - smelly entrance. The carpet looked very old and, together with the smell did not give a good impression - our room was big but too full of stuff. There were blankets and bed nets under the beds and all sorts of paintings, mirrors and bedside tables. It felt too full of things. There was no attention to details in terms of furniture. Mattresses were different in different beds and not great to sleep (however this may be just personal taste). - too much light in our room as the light on the corridor was constantly on and there was a big window on top of the door so it was very bright in the room. Overall, it is a good average solution if you have to stop in Penzance as it is basically on the promenade and only 10 minutes walking from the city centre.

Felt the need to post a review after reading some of the previous comments. We stayed here for one night before travelling to the Isles of Scilly. We arrived by train and the location could not be more convenient for both the station and the ferry. The town centre is also easily accessible and coastal walks in either direction are on your doorstep. Our room wasn’t large but was spotlessly clean and had everything you need. Bed was comfy and shower hot. Tea and coffee making facilities provided. It is on a busy main road but we knew this before we booked and actually found it quieter than expected. It certainly didn’t affect our sleep. The pub next door was no problem either. The price was considerably cheaper than the Premier Inn down the road and included an excellent cooked breakfast. Some people must be extremely hard to please! We shall look forward to staying again.

Facing the sea, the scenery is picturesque! It's very close to everywhere. There is a bus stop just two steps away. There are also buses to various train stations. The hotel's restaurant is a sea view restaurant. The scenery is so beautiful! The pictures can all be seen in the hotel!
