Angela
We loved everything about this hotel and the staff were all so welcoming and professional. I can not fault it.
Nigel
We have visited this hotel on a number of occasions and the service, friendliness and professionalism of the staff remains consistently excellent. We also like that management staff are visible, accessible and approachable. The hotel itself is extremely clean and well appointed, the Spa is excellent with a wide variety of treatments. I can highly recommend this hotel.
Thalia
I truly enjoyed my stay here, the ammenities were well kept and clean, the staff were very attentive and friendly, the spa facilities were great, the food was delicious and of course the views were breathtaking.
LEE
Very nice hotel, good food too. Would of been ideal if the leisure facilities where open for longer as due to work schedule i couldn't use them as much as I hoped.
Alise
Would recommend the hotel 100% stuff was very welcome and supportive and actual hotel is very fabulous !
Simon
Great quiet location and very welcoming with good spa facilities
Jeff
Great hotel hence I always stay here
Kimberly
I ended up booking this on a lark, and what great fortune it was! The location, the attention to details, the fluidity of welcoming attentive and informative staff to impeccable grounds, made it a memorable stay. They combine high end service w/ a feeling of being at home, I will most definitely be booking with them again. Highlights: Spa inclusion w/ room stay (sauna, steam bath all pools especially heated outdoor!) location: coastal pathway to St Charles. Nature walks, no cars to everything I wished to visit. Fabulous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yvonne
Staff in the restaurant/spa bar/spa were really helpful and pleasant. The indoor pool was great. Sadly we didn't get to use the outdoor pool as it rained but it did look very nice. View from our room was lovely too.
We booked breakfast on one day but found it too much after dinner the previous night.
We ate at taste of Cornwall one night. The food was very good but the room was very dark and the music stopped a couple of times and nobody around to turn it back on, so lacked a nice ambience.

Room was next to extractor fan didn't get a good nights sleep
Paula
A beautiful hotel in a stunning location, presented with art deco design, high standards of cleanliness everywhere. All staff were welcoming, although we felt Josh & his team in Terrace bar went beyond to welcome. A wonderful vibe with all staff.. room spotless, bed super comfy, spa very relaxing
James
100% spotless
Shoaib

Sarah
Spa and gym lovely. Top tier biscuits available in room
Sandra
Completely mixed experience first of all i will start with the positive
Customer service couldn't be better staff were always friendly and helpful,particularly the male staff member working at the taste on Monday evening sorry i didn't get his name.
Relatively good value for money when you consider all the amenties and the views.
The afternoon tea was incredible!
Garden maintenance was wonderful lots of stunning flowers,outdoor and indoor pool were lovely and warm
Onto the negatives;
The room being somewhat of an old building was covered in dust, the bed wasn't particularly comfartable though i can appreciate everyones firmness/softness level may differ
Curtains covered in stains which you wouldn't expect from a high end hotel and the shower and bath took quite a while to warm up.
The views from the back are stunning but inland you are looking at flooded roofs and cables (would reccomended upgrading for better scenery)
The breakfast was just awful one day the sausages tasted like water the next burned and dry, toast is made fresh but always cold i suggest a make your own toast option may be better, it could easily be compared to a budget breakfast infact i have had better there (the vegetarian option at the taste was a big hit though)
To sum up I'd probably try again with a larger room but skip the breakfast
Location wise carlyon bay beach is nearby and had lots of nice food options, lost gardens of helligan,eden project, charlestown etc also local

Lovely hotel. Comfortable stay, great food
Neil
Loved location facilities all of it
Keith
The property is in an excellent location close to the beach. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the cocktails are some of the best anywhere.
Our biggest disappointment was the room. It was quite small and there was no air conditioning at a time when the humidity was at its highest. There was a fan but that was useless because it was so noisy. We also reported that the extractor fan in the toilet wasn't working which added to the heat, but it never got repaired. When we left i asked if they had rooms with aircon and was told yes they do have some. When paying over £625 a night for accomodation, food and drink, I would have expected at least that!

Nicola
Whats not to love
Always a perect stay, love it here. Comfy bed, great location and great food.
Michael
Lovely property. Well maintained, beautiful landscaping. Room was nice, a little warm but hotel provided fans. Would have liked to have planned a spa day, but they were fully booked. Food was wonderful, especially breakfast. View of bay was excellent. Staff were incredible and professional. Lasting memories for our few days we spent there.
Lisa
Love this hotel!
Glynis
Hotel was excellent
Laura
Lovely and quiet hotel with great sea view. The bed was super comfortable and the staff was very friendly! Some interior and the outdoor pool area could be more modern, in my opinion. The breakfast was good, but could have had more options to choose from. Besides that, everything was excellent! Thank you so much!
Rebecca
The staff definitely make this hotel, they were very helpful/friendly/welcoming. The facilities in my room were excellent, however there was a lot of noise from the kitchen/restaurant downstairs- It only bothered me a little. Overall a positive experience.
abbie
Great staff and my husband had the best fillet steak he has ever eaten.
Situ
A mini break
The room I stayed in had no air conditioning so had a few nights of uncomfortable sleep.
I was not aware at the time of booking that not all rooms had air conditioning in them .
Staff were very helpful & friendly & service was exceptional.

Callum
This is an amazing hotel....heated outdoor pool, spa, 1 min walk from a cliff view, 5 minutes from a beach. The staff are all so nice and friendly the only negative thing i have to say is the shower in the room was terrible.....better off showering in the spa showers
Patrick
Just what a hotel should be like. Great area, great service, food was lovely! Room was good, shower brilliant and very clean overall. Great service, highly recommend!
Stephen
Property was very nice, but I think it would look a lot better if they cut all the ivy-which is all over it at the back there was no glass in the bathroom to rinse your mouth with and there is no shelf to put all the towels on. They are just shoved on top of a radiator overall not what I expected sorry.
Barrie
Stunning views. Excellent facilities. Comfortable beds. Warm outside clifftop pool. Food excellent and good value. Suited my limited mobility as everything conveniently located. Will be going back.
Gillian
I had a single room and it was too hot - needs air conditioning, I couldn’t sleep. Also poor mattress. I was due to stay another day but am exhausted. Plus no refund for extra day!!
Breakfast was normal 2-3 star buffet. Luke warm.

kathleen
Excellent service from staff polite and very helpful, had a single room it was clean and serviceable but slightly overpriced however I would be happy to stay again
sarah
This is a beautiful hotel with fantastic staff …. We can’t fault it at all!
Mark
We had a lovely stay in a standard double room with sea view. The room was very clean and comfortable.
The outdoor pool was lovely to swim in on a fairly cool April day, and the rest of the spa was great too.
Breakfast was excellent - a very wide range of options including freshly cooked full Cornish. The coffee was rather weak, that's personal taste and the only thing I wouldn't have again.
We loved the location. We wandered to Carlyon Bay, and along the coastal path - Charlestown harbour is only 15-20 minute walk to the west. Such a beautiful place for a night away. Very convenient for the Eden Project.
The staff in all areas of the hotel were very friendly, polite and attentive.

Great hotel, amazing location, fab facilities. The staff were all very attentive and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay.
Ray
Fantastic hotel, great food, and our room had the most amazing view of the coastline.
Karen
Beautiful hotel, lovely rooms that are spotless with a stunning view. All staff were lovely and attentive. Enjoyed a great lunch with a view. Would come again
Juanita
Beautiful, elegant hotel with lovely public rooms, ie bar, restaurant. My room had a great sea view. The wall paper was a little dated, but nothing to worry about. When I ran a bath the water was brown - I guess because of either old pipes or recycled rainwater? But it would have been good to have a note explaining it in the bathroom, so I felt reassured to take my bath (I didn't!). Staff were exceptionally nice and helpful on the whole. The views, the walks and the convenient sporting equipment were great, looking forward to using them next visit.
nicholas
Weekend away
Amazing place, friendly staff and great facilties. Even given a free upgrade to sea view room.
Glen
Great but with one complaint.
A beautiful location and a clean tidy hotel. The food was amazing and the staff were very professional. My only gripe was that the walls were extremely thin on adjoining rooms meaning I could hear everything from both sides…. Conversation, kettle, nocturnal activity you name it.
Try to request a room which doesn’t have this as it was really bad.
Avoid room 102!!!

Cornwall 24
This is one of the few hotels that I stay in, where the quality of service just gets better and better, the room was great as is the quality and options on food, very central in terms of Cornwall. Only gripe is the bin on the bathroom had not been emptied from the previous occupant.
Deborah
A relaxing stay.
All members of staff were so smiley and helpful. The chef was very supportive with allergies and worked out a menu suitable for dairy/soya free which was very kind and hopefully next time we can try it out as this time we are out. They cooked a beautiful dairy free breakfast for her. The breakfast buffet was beautiful and all delicious. The spa was amazing, loved the fact that no children were in there which made it a very relaxing experience. It is 10 minutes walk to a beautiful beach. The hotel is gorgeous and we will definitely visit again.

Building work next morning in the room two doors away wasn’t great

Always an amazing stay here, perfect hotel. Grrat location, helpful and friendly staff, great leisure facilities (I especially love the outdoor pool), fantastic food. Its all very good.
David
Excellent all round until check out time when the bill was wrong in two places, not in my favour (unsurprisingly). Sorted but shouldn't have happened.
Dave
Fantastic place
Tina
Great location, amazing view and amenities, outdoor heated pool, tennis courts, golf course as well as spa facilities too.
Getting drinks in the bar was a bit slow 3 staff on duty at the bar, and all standing behind it. but only taking orders once their manager pointed out they needed to. Some guests had table service and others had to go up to the bar. No real reason as to why the difference in treatment of guests. Maybe inexperience more than anything.
Overall lovely place and would stay again.

Some guests had table service and others had to go up to the bar. No real reason as to why the difference in treatment of guests. Maybe inexperience more than anything.
Overall lovely place and would stay again.

Excellent seaside stay
Our first noisy room was changed by the helpful receptionist to a quite room with excellent views. Brilliant breakfast, indoor and outdoor pool, coastal path nearby - it is definitely worth coming back to Carlyon Bay Hotel again and again

Love, love, love this hotel.
I love this hotel, comfy beds, fantastic food, amazing views, love the pools, especially the outside pool. Easy access to the beach and coast path. Staff all very friendly and helpful. I always try to stay here when working in the area, although this trip was purely for pleasure.

Great service, slightly over priced on the restaurant menu but bar menu suitable, steak a little too fatty but enjoyable
Jay
Stunning view
Lovely hotel. In great condition and the staff are friendly and attentive. Won't hesitate to return.
The only negative was that as my room was by the lift an early riser woke me at 5 in the morning. But can't complain too much.
The stunning view of the sea made the trip

Wonderful Hotel
It was wonderful staff kindness! Food was great and rooms were nice maybe little small but still lovely! I had a wonderful time maybe I’ll come back again :-)
Rebecca
The room was lovely and everyone was very friendly when being greeted however when going for a meal group of other couples were very loud and we had to leave the resturant to enjoy the remaining time of the night together. The waiter was brilliant and did apologise but I feel if they respected the resturant our stay would have been better. Also we were informed the gold course would have a buggie we then got to the course and buggies were not permitted at this time. The hotel should be informed of this as this also disapointed us.

Beautiful
What a beautiful location. The hotel could not be in a better location. The team from reception to the grounds keepers were wonderful. What a perfect hotel

A beautiful gem
There are few places you could find more quintessentially English than a Seaside Hotel, The Carlyon Bay Hotel is exceptional, wonderful and timelessly beautiful. You will not find better customer service, spectacular views and a sense of quiet calm.
A little weekend break made very special by the staff, I could not fault a single thing ❤

Excellent October stay
A really nice, pleasant 2 night stay in October. First time staying and a very warm welcome from all and throughout the service was excellent.
Tiny issue being the temperature a couple of times, once at breakfast and in the bar, a little overwhelming.
Cleanliness and appearance cannot be faulted.
Will look to stay again .

Bit tired and definitely caters for older clients

Super hotel, nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they were so welcoming. Facilities excellent, we parked up and didn't leave the local area, walked everywhere. Swimming pool, spa facilities and golf (nine hole and putting green) all included in the cost. Free bits for our daughter were a real bonus, she particularly loved the packed lunch! Hotel entertainment was really good quality as well, casino and having our caricature done were highlights.
Caroline
Very enjoyable stay
We had a lovely stay. The grounds and pool were wonderful. The restaurant staff were polite and attentive and the food was good.
Steve
I liked the area and the views
Caroline
Lovely hotel and grounds. Food and service were very good although housekeeping knocked and entered our room without waiting for a response before we had even checked out or had breakfast at 9am! My husband leapt up to respond to the door and flashed her as she went to enter the room. Maybe wait until people check out to clean the rooms in future or at the very least give guests a chance to respond to you before you enter the room. It was a shock (probably for her too) but it did make us laugh!
Lizzie
Cannot fault this hotel at all. Beautiful surrounding. Impeccable staff that are there for all your needs. Cannot so enough for you. Beautifully decorated and clean throughout. Will be returning.

Beautiful views. Elegant public rooms. Charming staff

Location and facilities over room
Lovely location, facilities, and friendly staff. Limited parking and decor could do with updating throughout. The room was quite small and stuffy (no air conditioning). Although the facilities made up for it, for the room quality, it is overpriced.
