Highly recommended
Posted 28 Sep. 2024 on HotelsThe hotel is a very impressive and imposing building, the staff are lovely and the food is exceptional. The way the old jail has been converted to a hotel is really quite amazing. All the fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard. We loved the room and the fact that it had previously been 3 prison cells!
It’s also in a good position for exploring Cornwall.

The jail has been beautifully restored. The lighting looks incredible but it makes the room quite dark if you actually want to get ready. My biggest bug bearer is that there was no socket near a mirror with a shelf to get ready or do you hair. The staff were nice but all undertrained if any training at all.

Our stay was a special treat to end a holiday we were already on in Cornwall for the week ending 22/09/24
Everything was lovely & the hotel was interesting considering it was a prison!!
All staff were helpful, polite & understanding, plus hard working considering they were under staffed in the restaurant,
This I totally understand as I am also in the catering industry working as a Head Chef for gastro pub .
The only problem which could have been a problem was I wasn’t asked if I had allergies when we ordered in the restaurant on the evening dinner ( of which I have !!) I did tell the waitress at the time .
I was asked in the morning.
Also I was surprised there wasn’t any beer choice on the evening only cider of which I’m not a fan of ?
Considering you had a fairly full hotel I thought this could have been sorted , as for the value of cost per night I’d expect this . Plus the parking was an issue as we had to park on the bank drive & unable to park in the car park, we were told the extended car park was closed for work ?
Other than that we had a lovely stay
Thank you

Absolutely WOW. What an amazing place. Room was very comfortable and whole place was very quiet. Lots to look at within the building. Food was great and staff were also very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going back if we are in that area.
The museum next door was amazing too, well worth a visit.
