RESTAURANT REVIEW ONLY five for dinner while staying nearby. Everything was excellent. We had a range of starters and mains including fresh crab and mussels and Ling all locally caught. Service was v good. Wine was great. Would definitely recommend

Room noisy. Needs decorating. Shower useless. No chef. No nexplanation or response from owner. Staff nice and as helpful as can be expected on problem of lack of chef. Owner should value his guests and staff more. Car park like a dirt track. Saving grace was the view.

Sadly our experience of this hotel was not great at all, but what is mostly sad is the potential of this place is huge and it just isn't living up to that. I could forgive the rooms being super dated however they were absolutely not clean. There were sequins on the floor (I assume from a previous guest) and on the bed side tables which you would assume should not have been there if they had been wiped down and cleaned. Surfaces were dusty, there were a couple of black curly hairs in the shower and the bathroom is mouldy.

We stayed over the weekend and unfortunately the chef was sick one morning so we were unable to have a cooked breakfast (which is included in the room charge). We weren't too worried about this however it was disappointing that they didn't bother to take that cost off the bill at the end. The view is lovely and the staff are fantastic and super friendly however overall I would not return to this hotel, especially for the price we paid.

Stunning sea view from the front of the hotel, which is its saving grace. Lovely evening meals served by a relaxed staff. The bedroom was clean and comfortable but the furniture very dated. The downstairs would benefit from being decorated.

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely hotel overlooking the bay so beautiful views. Nice seating area outside with a bar close by. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. You can walk to the nearest beach and harbour but it is fairly steep so you may need to use a car if you stay here.

Had most drlicious dinner at The View restaurant at The Porth Avallen. Small bite duck burgers which included salad garnish. Also had most delicious large glass of Merlot.
