Plenty of food available in the dining room. Convenient and easy position in the very pleasant area, near to the many excellent local restaurants-particularly in nearby Charlestown as well as Eden Project and Heligan gardens. Plus, 15 minutes drive from Mary's Shell.

The hotel is spotlessly clean, has views of the bay. The king room is brand-new and good-sized. The breakfast options are good hot and enormous with bacon and four other hot options, as for instance. The venue has amazing and fab location close to the sea with a lovely view from the restaurant. The place where you can eat a 10-15 minute walking distance from the property is Happy Gathering.
