Lunch on their own 'quay' in the summer takes some beating, lighter lunch options.

Ok, so I'm the first review of this place but I have to do it... it was a great hotel experience…read more First, it's set on a lovely location on a bluff overlooking the sea in St. Austell, just perfect for a cool crisp walk on the beach over the rocks with fresh sea air making you feel alive. Second, the staff is wonderful and super friendly at the desk and everyone you run into is unbelievably pleasant. Third, it has a spa and a golf course so while I was getting a surprise facial and massage, my guy played a round of golf (that's a win-win in my book). Lastly, the best cream tea I've ever had. Literally. The scones were soooo fresh and the clotted cream and jam were of the highest quality and you can sit in this stodgy room overlooking the sea feeling very posh. Just a great way to spend the morning after a great stay. First class all the way, Carlyon.

This hotel was extremely disappointing beginning with our arrival. The rooms are small even with…read morethe sea view. Bathrooms are substandard. Most important, however, was the complete lack of hospitality at this hotel and the poor quality of dining. The staff appear to have been trained to provide the service of a senior living property where mediocore meals are served as rapidly as possible. No one goes out of their way to provide assistance nor are they friendly. We were supposed to stay five nights after two nights of the rude service at this hotel and the rushed meals, we left. The sea location is lovely and the golf was free but that is the only positive statement I can make about this hotel. Based on the reviews I am seeing from years prior, it appears that this hotel has really gone down hill over the years.

Following on from a few days in Devon at Soar Mill Cove (q.v. review) we came here to Carlyon Bay…read morejust outside St. Austell. Now I confess I first came to this hotel in 1977, and stayed quite regularly on business (with China Clay industry), but I had not been here since about 1992 ! I have also stayed at a number of other hotels in the area and this is my preference. It hadnt changed a lot though I believe ownership has changed at least twice. Currently privately owned by George Abraham. Magnificent view over the bay from the front of the hotel (a sea view room is preferable, but'extra'). Our room was well decorated, and provided for, and comfortable. Staff always polite and helpful. Dinner provided a choice of 3 or 4 choice at each course, and was generally well executed, fish seemed to be particularly well done (eg Lemon Sole straight from the Looe day boat). Reasonable wine prices also. Breakfast also served individually from the kitchen (none of those everfailing attempts to do a hot buffet that doesnt keep things hot) - the only horror was my pet aversion to butter wrapped in mini parcels, so you always get some on your fingers. They should at least manage to do 'pull off' ones ! I regard this hotel as better value than the Carlyon Bay Hotel (200yds away), though a good alternative would be the Cliff Head (200 yds away). I have stayed at these also but not recently. This location is particularly good for anyone wishing to visit the Eden Project or equally enjoyable Lost Gardens of Heligan'

The Cormorant is a rare little gem buried deep in Cornwall nor far from the Eden Project (an…read moreabsolute must see if you are down that neck of the woods). Finding the place is a bit of a challenge - the roads are ***narrow*** (one car wide .. barely!) requiring a quick slap into reverse and nimble handling of the steering wheel should you meet someone coming towards you. The final ascent to the hotel is UBER steep and should be avoided in winter when there is any level of frost or ice about. Seemingly the roadway to the entrance floods at some high tides as well .... Its enough to put you off!!?? ... Nope, stick to your guns and push on and find the place - its well worth it. The rooms can be a bit tight, the prices on the room frankly we felt well well over what one should have paid for what we got, however ... the place was spotless and the view, oh the view ... I could have happily died there... The restaurant should have five stars, the food was absolutely superb - taste, freshness, presentation - all second to none, and prices very fair (making up for the overcharge on the rooms perhaps?!). The staff were extremely helpful and couldn't be nicer. The wine-list was extensive and very well priced. I'd be happy to go again and would absolutely recommend it - only knocking back the rating due to the final price-tag!
