Cornish hotel with views
The hotel had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Walking through the entance the view is striking with stairs down to a panoramic bar and lounge area. Our sea view room was completely uninterrupted with a superking comfortable bed. Good sized bathroom with a good shower. Food was good and reasonably priced. We will definitely stay here again

Superb holiday experience in this amazing hotel
My wife and I had an amazing holiday experience. This hotel boasts a beautiful location overlooking the sea and the b dramatic Cornish coastline. The staff are super friendly and simply do everything in their power to make your stay memorable. The food is excellent and the amenities top notch. We will be returning next year as will a number of our friends.

Great location
Great location next to the Coast Path and with lovely views from the restaurant and terrace. Room comfortable clean and well appointed. Staff very helpful but catering a bit chaotic at breakfast and in the evening. Accommodation good value, but drinks expensive.

July break
I booked a deluxe room with sea view , however we received a free upgrade to a two bed house in the grounds of the hotel with it,s own hot tub so I can,t review the hotel bedroom. The house was amazing with wonderful views. Plenty of room for a family to relax and play. Everything was clean and in good condition, king size bed was really comfortable. Staff were friendly, breakfast was good with plenty of choice. We only ate dinner one evening as we were out and about, this was good. We did ,t use the health spa or the outdoor pool so cannot comment on these. Based on my experience I would recommend this hotel.

Thoroughly recommended - an excellent hotel!
This is a fantastic hotel, with a superb location overlooking the Atlantic. Everywhere is clean, the food quality is excellent and the bedrooms are comfortable and well-equipped.
The hotel’s Vista room, apart from having spectacular views from all tables, has some great quirky memorabilia, including two seat compartments from an old fairground waltzer. Personally, I also love the Chopper bike on the wall!
The Afternoon Tea is probably the best we’ve ever had - generous and an excellent selection.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming.
Thoroughly recommended.

Two night stay
We stayed at the Polurrian for two nights and ate in the vista lounge both evenings. Generally the hotel is good, beds are very comfortable and the shower is powerful with plenty of hot water. Nice touch having fresh filtered water and fresh milk in the fridge in the room.
Service in the vista lounge was quite slow although on the first evening staff were well aware of the delays and did compensate us with money off the bill.
The lack of a lift could be a problem for some as the stairs to the 2nd floor are quite a trek and steep. We were offered help with luggage but declined as we didn’t have a lot.
All in all a good stay and would stay again

This hotel is very well suited for families. So the pool was unavailable during our stay. The rooms are spacious if a little tired. The walk down to the beach and the sea views are amazing.
A gin and tonic on the terrace with an incredible sunset was the perfect evening. Lots of choice at breakfast. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Comfortable hotel, lovely staff and excellent food
Firstly I must say that the service and food was excellent. The menu was extensive and delicious. The staff were brilliant- nothing was too much trouble. My spa treatment by Lucy was probably the best I’ve ever experienced.
The hotel is clean and comfortable. The dining areas are well laid out and well maintained. The room was spacious enough although perhaps a little dated, and a little more storage space in the bathroom and bedroom would be beneficial.
The snug was cozy and had several board games, these could do with updating as there were lots of games not complete, that said, although we didn’t use it the games room looked good and was well used mostly by children. Unfortunately the weather was not favourable as the cliff path walks are on the hotel door step and the nearby beaches looked nice. The hotel pool was closed for renovations so hopefully that will be a bonus. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Was a fabulous trip. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. Love the decor in the hotel.
We had a seaview room, amazing view. My only concern was the net curtain in the bathroom covering the window. It was very easy for me to see through, so i assume it would be easy to see in. So with that in mind, there was no privacy in the bathroom. We were above the bar area outdoor tables so it felt a worry. But other than that, the room was a delight. So 5 star apart from that 1 thing.

We had an amazing stay with the hotel set in fantastic surroundings. The room had a great view towards the sea and we were fortunate to have some nice sunshine and a sunset despite it only being February. The staff were very attentive at both the reception and dining areas. Would highly recommend and we hope to visit again sometime.
