Great find
Arrived l late after 7 hour journey
Easy to find hotel. Good welcome, spacious lovely room. Good facilities and will return
The room was fantastic and can’t be faulted. However what makes this hotel a cut above the rest is the staff; they go out of their way to be kind and helpful. Literally nothing is too much for them
They are all truly wonderful
Highly recommend this hotel in the stunning Lizard
Lovely breakfasts..staff all very helpful.. nothing was to much trouble... Room was lovely and the kids loved the bunk beds...the whole place hadea really nice feel.
Family wedding on the Lizard and quite a few friends and family stayed here. Every room was excellent, comfortable, clean and the food was great too. Friendly staff all round would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly. Thank you
Comfortable room. Easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Host Mary was exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful (gluten free food, booking taxi etc.). We are a retired couple walking the South West Coast Path and would stay here again.
A lovely, clean, good sized room. Very friendly welcome. If you just want to a place to just sleep for the night, this is ideal. Absolutely no noise from the pub below.
Perfect - the Housel room (the rooms has names and not numbers) is very nice, and the Lizard town itself is stunning and a must visit if you are in the area.
Absolutely brilliant spot to stay at with the lizard a stones throw away, the food was amazing, the staff absolutely wonderful - really recommend this as a place to stay

Well worth a stay
The ideal place to stay due to it's proximity to some very beautiful beaches. The stay was made by the really friendly and likeable staff. The room was clean but a bit tired and the shower cubicle needed a revamp. All in all, I would definitely stay again mainly due to the staff. I would prefer to have mugs for my morning cuppa as the cups provided were tiny!
Beautiful room with an amazing view. Room was great, spacious and clean. Bed so super comfy. Staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was delicious.
