Comfortable room with nice pub downstairs. Right on the South West Coast Path.

Central location in Hayle of walking the Coastal Path

I hesitate to criticise, but want to be honest about how we found the place. Even from outside the property looked tired; grubby windows, dusty cobwebbed entrance porch. The room behind the reception was piled with paperwork. Not really very welcoming. The staff at the bar where we checked in were friendly, but we were presented with a bill before being given our keys. The decor might be described by some as quirky and old fashioned, we found it dated and tired. The art work throughout the hotel ranged from bizarre to creepy; the pictures on the first floor landing were really quite scary. It is a mish mash of styles and we didn’t really appreciate having large tasteless female semi nudes in our rooms. Some of the portraits appeared to have deliberately whitened faces giving a ghost like appearance. On a positive note the bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. However rooms were tired looking with wood chip on some walls and old noisy (and smelly) fridges. The bathroom in my room was functional, but the shower screen kept sliding in front of the taps, there was a large sticky mark on the side of the bath that had been missed during cleaning. My friend couldn’t get her shower to run hot. There was no 4G available in the Hotel and the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all in our rooms leaving us with no signal at all, probably just as well so we couldn’t access other reviews and information about the place! The corridor outside my room and my room particularly felt quite ‘creepy’ and as we looked at information about the hotel whilst dining elsewhere, it became apparent that there are suggestions of ghosts, even their website acknowledges this! Returning to the hotel after dark we felt really spooked in my room so I ended up sharing with my friend for the night and we left early the next morning without having breakfast ( which irritatingly needs ordering the evening before).

Breakfast

The poor Internet connection.

location

very shabby, dubious artwork in bedrooms (not suitable for children staying)

This is the third time we have stayed so that says a lot. Great food and price includes a generous breakfast. Lovely staff who are very friendly and yet leave you in peace. I love the shabby chic look and the hotel is full of antiques and oil paintings. The location in Hayle is very picturesque and convenient for public transport or if you hire a car from Newquay airport it is not far from Penzance or St Ives. The ' White Hart' has character and is frequented by the locals for the notorious Sunday roast but has a fantastic vegetarian menu also.

The ensuites are spotlessly clean but there are no power showers. A small gripe really because there was endless hot water.

Breakfast was good staff very attentive nice setting bit quirky which added to stay all round stay met all my expectations also parking across rood was a bonus old fashioned hotel which in my opinion suits the area of Cornwall honest and pleasurable stay **** stars for me .

More choice of low alcohol cider and beer needed internet needs improvement but generally very happy

Chosen for closeness to Hayle hospital. Ideal Very friendly staff.

The location suited our needs Breakfast and dining area was better than rest of hotel

Bedrooms were absolutely awful , like a hostel . Disgusting fittings and finishes - stained curtains falling off pole and not meeting in middle , bath with a scum line round , broken tiles on bathroom floor , whole of bathroom was a disgrace . And this was the most expensive hotel on a trip of 7 hotels and most Deffinately the worst . DO NOT STAY HERE
