Great location and ambience, with a pleasant welcome on arrival. Great view of St. Michael's Mount. Unfortunately the meal was disappointing, as it looked good on arrival. Lots of little service blunders, long wait between courses and dessert after waiting 35 mins was not enjoyable! Bill was incorrect although dessert was deducted. Such a shame as we were so looking forward to our evening. Really important that the food is tasted by the chef. Soup - not passed and Baked hake, was moist but oily and broad beans hard and overly sweet.

We visited Shutters restaurant on our last day in Penzance. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and looks out to St Michael's Mount. The staff were wonderfully attentive and friendly, and the food and cocktails are exceptional (the lemon meringue tart is a must!).

Booked for Sunday lunch. Had a good view of the Mount on a beautiful day but sadly found service perfunctory, one roast beef impossible to cut and then changed for pork which arrived cold. We were offered free desserts to make up for this but the meager vegetables, inability to provide a g and t without 3 attempts and real lack of concern by waiting staff to provide good service was really disappointing.

Came to Cornwall for a little break with 2 friends - Stayed only for one night but I have to say I cannot fault anything. The receptionist, the chef and waitresses were extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast was amazing and very filling. Greta views from the restaurant. I will be coming back :

Always love staying in this place. Views from the room incredible. Room nice and clean however could do with more hanging hooks and an extractor, at least in the bathroom. We came back with soaking wet clothes as it rained all day and our windows very quickly steamed up and never cleared again. We couldn't open the window to get any fresh air in. Food excellent. Loved the breakfast especially the freshly squeezed juices. Lovely. Will certainly be back.
