Richard
A lovely hotel in an idyllic spot - our room was a deluxe and looked over the little harbour, spectacular to see the tide coming in and out all day (and night of course!).
Food was fine - breakfasts especially good - and we tried the Cornish wines which were just OK. If in doubt stick with the french for the moment, but they're improving all the time. We had a lovely weekend away, the only stress being the trip to and from the mainroads - you don't want to meet anyone coming the other way!

Jonathan
This was the culmination of a self-promise made 11 years ago. Then, we had afternoon tea on the patio, but can’t remember how we discovered Portloe. We said we should stay here if we ever visit Cornwall again. Fast forward to now; an unexpected opportunity to re-visit Cornwall. And it came to pass. Our stay did not disappoint- the quirky corridors to our room, the spectacular views from the windows, the bright and airy restaurant and the opportunity (again) to observe a lone fisherman working on his boat, all day, on the slipway. And, for all you “new” visitors to remote locations in Cornwall, the roads get narrower the closer you get to your destination. Choose your car size wisely, for the times you meet another car head on!
Matthew
Very nice stay! Beautiful location! Beach cottage was amazing, breakfast service was very good. Some minor issues with dinner service but all resolved very quickly by the staff and we had an excellent meal there. Overall would highly recommend!
Rosemary
Staff are excellent & location is outstanding
George
It was a wonderful stay…beautiful views, great food, fun hiking, great tub. An experience not to be missed!!
Alison
Beautiful room in a gorgeous boutique hotel in picturesque Portloe. The views from the restaurant and terrace are stunning. Will definitely be back !
Jayne
The view and location is wonderful and every member of staff was excellent, really friendly and helpful from the second we arrived.
Andrew
Wow, what a location! Great safe bike storage too.
Karen
Overall really loved the Hotel. Lovely view from our room over the bay. The staff were really lovely and helpful. One problem we did have was the menu shown on the website has obviously not been brought up to date. Before visiting we had chosen what we wanted from the online menu (which also stated a 10% surcharge) only to find a completely different menu on arrival with a 12.5 % surcharge. Having arrived after a long journey I ended up having a bowl of soup! This may be useful for future visitors as nowhere else to eat locally. The breakfast, however, was perfect.
Margaret
Fantastic place to stay with glorious views and very lovely staff
Sara

Guy
We had a wonderful stay at the Lugger. My Dad is terminally ill and frail. He spent many summers as a boy in Portloe and one of his final wishes was to return for a holiday. Four of us from 3 generations went to stay.
From the moment i spoke to the team there about the booking to the moment we left they couldn’t have been more accommodating or understanding. Every member of staff went the extra mile to help him.
It was a fantastic weekend to relax and enjoy the hotel and the area with several great meals, good wine and fantastic breakfasts.
It all made my dad so happy and created great memories for us all. I highly recommend and just want to say thank you.

An excellent relaxing stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Amazing service, exceptionally friendly.
Brian
A really fantastic position, The Lugger is a great hotel, with super rooms and friendly staff. Only downside WIFI not good and menu and wine list, somewhat uninspiring. But still very much worth a visit!

Ian
Great for walking but not 5*
Although rated as a 5 star I struggle to see how. Hotel is in a stunning location, there is nothing around it but coast path which was fine for us as that is what we wanted but might put others off. Hotel looked tired in lots of areas, the communal areas seems unkempt and a little grubby, little things around that shouldn’t be such as the half eaten sandwich left outside our room was a good example. Looks like it needs an update for sure, lots of chipping paint and a grubby carpets. It’s not made clear that if you have a terrace room it’s a shared terrace with a few other rooms so didn’t feel at all private, especially as this is also on the road into the hotel too. The shower was dreadfully weak, cracked tiles in the bathroom floor and just looking tired, could hear everything the room upstairs was doing, especially their alarm at 6:30 in the morning…. No robes as stated, pillows are very uncomfortable and hard. Overall it was just ok. We didn’t eat in the restaurant in then end, mainly as it was Easter Sunday and apparently the chef hadn’t done the menu even up to the night before but then it turned out to be the same as the other nights so that was confusing. Breakfast was ok but small. This place could be amazing with a few tweaks and a good general manager with some attention to detail but sadly lacking in my eyes.
Karen
Such a beautiful place to stay it was actually our second visit we spent our honeymoon there 40 years ago in September and certainly wasn’t disappointed. All the staff were great and very welcoming and friendly would definitely recommend
Tony
The staff were excellent position second to none.
Helen
Beautiful location. Lovely staff, delicious breakfast. Clean comfy rooms. Something to note is Uber or similar services are not permitted in the area. We needed a taxi to Truro and all local firms were booked so had to drive. We’d already had a drink in the bar before we realised this, thankfully not enough to be unable to drive but if we had that would have ruined our plans. Also worth mentioning is that a 25 min taxi ride when we got one the following day was £50. We will return to The Lugger but just to enjoy the hotel and immediate location, not when needing to venture away.
Clive

Steven
Valentines stay!
Stayed for Valentine’s which included dinner (up to £40 Per Person) & breakfast. Main was ok but monkfish over cooked & pork under ( fat not rendered enough). They offered to take the fish main off the bill which was £32, as not finished & mentioned not the best. When we checked out the £32 was not put towards the drinks bill but as other than this we had a nice time & staff were great we never said anything. Overall good with great staff & fantastic breakfast. I would say could do with some updating in external areas but still enjoyed our stay!
Garry
Staff made us feel very important and treated us like VIP’s.
Would highly recommend the lugger.

Beautiful hotel, wonderful service
Mr David
Peaceful bolt hole particularly for couples
Lovely old coastal inn. Room small and cosy overlooking the slipway. Evening dinner was good but moderately pricey for wine. Breakfast was excellent and consumed at a very leisurely pace with lovely views. The hotel is on the coast path so beautiful walks for the more energetic. Parking free immediately behind hotel
Sally
One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The staff are amazing. The food was amazing. The facilities were amazing and it is in a stunning location. Not for everyone though as it is very quiet. At least it is in December. We hope to return one day.
Miss Pamela
A really wonderful stay
The Lugger is a wonderful little hotel. An extremely warm welcome with the rarity of the being shown to your a nice touch. An even nicer touch is the turn-down service which includes a hot water bottle and chocolates. The room had everything I needed. A fridge with milk and water was very welcome. A generous fruit bowl was also a thoughtful touch. The general impression is that the hotel genuinely takes care to ensure guests feel welcome and have all they need. Clean and cosy,the room was a pleasure to stay in.
David
Beautiful place and the staff were very attentive and pleasant.
Sally
A beautiful part of Cornwall to escape to for the weekend. The Lugger is in an amazing location - very quaint Cornish fishing cove. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, however we paid for an upgrade to deluxe but felt the room was still quite standard. There is room for improvement- eg lighting the fire in lounge area on a winters night and not using the entrance to main accommodation as storage area for the house keeping staff. We loved staying here but did feel it was overpriced for what you got.

The Lugger Hotel is a delight. Atmospheric, inviting, friendly, helpful, wonderful food, and a location that ensures this is an authentic Cornish experience.
Verified traveler
Short notice booking for a job down in Cornwall turned into a pleasurable trip after staying at this fantastic hotel. The location was fantastic, the meals were great, it was just a shame I had to leave for my work appointment.
David
Amazing and totally beautiful location. The Lookout room is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. I can't praise it enough.
Wendy
Wonderful food, room was delightful and the staff are brilliant, especially the Reception man who was super helpful.
Lynn
The Lugger is located in a small fishing village. The village is charming with renovated historic buildings and lovely gardens.
There are no shops and just 2 restaurants in the village - the restaurant in The Lugger (excellent!) and The Ship Inn (authentic and good).
The hotel restaurant has lovely views of the sea, with indoor and outdoor seating. It's nice to just spend the afternoon with a drink and take the sea view and quiet in. There is also a cozy lounge attached to the dining area.
The location is perfect for walking the coastal path, napping and reading.
If you wish to travel to other locations in either the surrounding area (beaches) or in Cornwall, a car is a must.
You can travel there by train to Truro and take a taxi for about $50.

The location is perfect for walking the coastal path, napping and reading.
If you wish to travel to other locations in either the surrounding area (beaches) or in Cornwall, a car is a must.
You can travel there by train to Truro and take a taxi for about $50.
The staff was lovely and helpful.

Perfect
Great little hotel, lovely staff who wanted to make our stay perfect! The food was amazing, drinks were great and the view is amazing, we even got to see dolphins with breakfast! Thanks so much for a lovely stay!

We really liked the hotel and the breakfast and staff were lovely. They couldn't do enough for you.
Location nothing there not even a shop to walk to felt really isolated and the weather didn't help.
Rained for 2 days and had to park at the top of the hill got soaked

Relaxing and quiet hotel
Lovely hotel in a peaceful and relaxing setting. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food was excellent.

Fabulous location, beautiful hotel and a lovely room with sea view.
However, the dining room, facilitated by inexperienced \"teenagers\" was unacceptable for a 5 star establishment. We originally intended to eat in the hotel for the duration of our 4-night stay but after the first night experience and despite there being no other options locally, we decided to drive 8 miles, rather than eat there again.

One of my favourite places to stay. It is so relaxing.
Natalie
The best
Stayed here to visit family and it’s the most beautiful location and wonderful facilities. I can’t thank Alison enough for assisting me when I messed my booking up and we cant wait to come back for a holiday
Paul
Lovely hotel,great location, bed not all that
A small and friendly hotel, set in a rural, coastal position , away from it all. Old building tastefully redecorated , room was nice with a decent bathroom. Excellent view of the coastal inlet. Caught a glimpse of the local fisherman launching and returning in the morning , right under our window
Only negative was the bed, for such a highly priced room, I would expect bigger and better comfort - breakfast was ok

Cornwall short relaxing break.
Very nice room and clean towels every day. Liked having the little fridge for fresh milk and water. Staff were friendly and helpful.Meals were very good and plenty of choice. The area was beautiful for scenery and walking which we enjoyed. Would love to return oneday in the future.

Lovely yet pricey seaside resort
We spent a night in Portloe and were impressed with the location of the Lugger and the kindness of the check-in staff, who helped us get into our room a bit early so that we could dress for an event.
After booking a 260-pound room at a quaint B&B, I was surprised when we were asked if we wanted to pay another 18 pounds for the very simple breakfast they set out in the mornings. Our room was in the back of the second building, so our only small window was about two feet from the next building, and our bed faced the bathroom door. I understand you can't always get the room with the view, but the rooms are nothing special on the backside. I would normally hope a 5-star hotel would have a few nice details, like a cart for the drinks so you're not balancing the kettle on the bedside table, or a nespresso machine rather than two instant coffee packets.
Overall, it's a lovely stopover, but I'd only return if they offered a steep discount and promised a bit of a view.

Perfect for those looking for a quiet, peaceful, well run, very helpful staff
team. The hotel is uncluttered, rooms simple and tastefully done. Breakfast is great. The location and views are simply stunning.

The staff was wonderful. The restaurant manager shared suggestions for sightseeing the first day we were there. It was a wonderful day and one we never would have come up with on our own. Everyone we encountered at the Lugger seemed genuinely interested us and sharing their love of Cornwall with us.
Viv
Magical!
alan
Location is beautiful
Kelly
Beautiful location
Gorgeous location and room. Breakfast was amazing. The only thing I would recommend is to email guests before the stay to book a table for food as couldn’t eat there which was shame. However the pub up the lane was amazing.
Charles
After big cities, it was fantastic to stop and enjoy the small village of Portloe. The hotel to excellent and the staff and food outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and our whole experience was the best we enjoyed after four weeks in the UK.
Andrew
Hmmm …not what we expected.
Very mixed thoughts about our stay at the Lugger!
Obviously a beautiful location, the food was good… but…
The Lugger is charging premium prices!! Our de-luxe room was very small and stiflingly hot with the view of a wall.
Apart from one lady who was very efficient and kept the whole ship afloat, I’m afraid the staff were woefully inadequate. One waitress was so unresponsive and unfriendly it had to be experienced to be believed.
This was not the experience I was expecting having read previous reviews… perhaps we were just unlucky but we would be reluctant to return.

Exceptional Location, Great Food
The location is quite exceptional. We watched dolphins as we sat on the restaurant terrace.
We stayed in the Look Out which whilst small has amazing views and we would definitely ask for that room again when we return.
The food is very good and reasonably priced for the quality on offer.
I would suggest that staff training could be improved. There was one lady who appeared to be in charge of service in the dining room who was very friendly and good. However the team around her fall along way short of the standard that she delivered.

Excellent service, clean rooms but disapointed no lunch service on Saturday. Overpriced for what is was.
Lisa
Stunning
Stunning room in an evocative location - such a gem!
Wonderful breakfast with beautiful view. The restaurant’s approach feels a little regimented.

Worth the journey
Really nice stay in a wonderful location. Small team of focussed people that seem to enjoy what they do, and made me feel at home. The rooms are well appointed, and the beds comfortable. The food was excellent.
Martin
Very welcoming. Excellent room. Beautifully cooked food. Relaxing ambience

Our 3rd stay
It was lovely as always food staff and hotel excellent can’t wait to go again
Alyson
A hidden gem
Wonderful! We enjoyed our stay at The Lugger immensely, the staff were superb, very friendly nothing too much trouble. A little gem, will definitely return.
Sharon
Quiet little idyl.
The Lugger staff are fabulous! As I am a coeliac they were able to adapt the menu quickly and easily. Well done chef! The hotel was clean and the extra additions of milk in the room fridge and fresh fruit were very welcome. The giant chocolate cookies were enjoyed by my husband! The hotel is in a tiny village with very narrow and steep curving roads so chances of getting big vehicles is a task but well worth it when you get there. During the evening you can sit on the decking and the hotel light up the incoming/outgoing tide which is so very peaceful.
Peter
Great location, service and excellent food . Lovely room with a terrace area . My only disappointment was the table we were allocated at dinner which was in a separate area to the main restaurant and I commented about this at the time. During busy holiday periods perhaps they should consider having two sittings in the restaurant.
Jon
Perfect hideaway
Perfect hideaway. Secluded. Fantastic gourmet food. Best ice cream on planet earth (home made).

Nice relaxing weekend away
Mr Anthony
Great setting on a tiny bay, which is a working crab and lobster fishing harbour. Really want to go back in the winter when a gale blows in.
Vanessa
Very laid back, nice quiet hotel, wonderful views
Jacqueline
Completely unique hotel with rooms dotted around the harbour. Outstanding restaurant with sea views and incredible menu. We had an awesome three course dinner with fresh, local products. In the morning, breakfast was equally satisfying with kippers, fresh, local yoghurt and great coffee. Although this hotel is off the beaten track, we’d gladly take the long journey again. Staff, cheerful friendly and professional. Setting sublime. Lovely coastal path on your doorstep too!
Marion
Absolute gem of a hotel and in an idealic spot too. We had a lovely weekend then and will definitely book again. The staff are lovely, the hotel is immaculate and the food was very good too.
Iain
Excellent hotel in a beautiful location!
Julie
Amazing hotel
Wonderful hotel… we stayed in the boat house with an incredible view
Milda
Very quite and out of the way place, no shops, very friendly local pub (the ship Inn) serving excellent food in a warm and cosy atmosphere.
Richard
Lovely little hotel but restaurant disappointing
Great location. Staff welcoming. Nice ambience. Lovely bedroom overlooking cove at premium price. Restaurant ok but nothing special and expensive for what was on offer. Disappointingly limited seafood options.
Sarah
Fabulous food and hotel. Didn't want to leave.
COLLEEN
Excellent Seaside holiday
We had a lovely time in the self catering cottage. We can't wait to come back.
Mark
The location was quintessentially Cornwall, could not get any nearer to the sea.
The staff were absolutely superb, nothing was too much trouble for any one of them. Very polite and attentive.
I would've liked to have had access to more tap water or a water fountain. Install a machine where guests can buy a Lugger Hotel flask for a small fee, which could then be reused to cut down on plastic PEP bottles.The flask could also then be a keepsake memento of the holiday.
I could've done with slightly more smoked haddock for breakfast, perhaps that's me being greedy though. The food was excellent mind you!!

Lovely hotel and we will visit again. Great location. Friendly staff.

Perfection!
Being repeat customers this place is perfect for a total wind-down, stress free, beautiful food, lovely surroundings and exemplary service. We will be back in February!
Sue
Wonderful
We are repeat customers who absolutely love this place - this is our 'go to' when we need to switch off and relax. Food, service and accommodation is wonderful.

A lovely autumn break
Nice relaxing break with great food
Donald
Parking spaces limited ,and suits small cars best .
But does not take away from this fabulous place with its
great small harbour atmosphere seen out the dining room windows and also many of the rooms ,and the wonderful food .Staff efficient, courteous and pleasant.
We had our honeymoon there 48 yrs go and continue to return for the ambience .
Good interpretation of current COVID guidelines by staff and customers

Superb location and charming service
Another lovely stay at The Lugger. The staff here are fabulous and so helpful with any request. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Paul
Generally good
Generally very good (the food was excellent, except for one rather greasy breakfast), and the staff were brilliant. However I don’t think it deserves a 5* rating.
DAWN
An honest one!
Great location. Comfy bed. Over priced but assume that is because of COVID. Breakfast poor quality…a few tweaks would improve it massively.
