It turned out to be part of the Relais & Chateaux Hotel group which I've stayed in, in Napa. Anyway asked the staff if I could be seated for lunch as only one table was occupied, they indicated they would have to ask the chef as they had a lack of staff. Anyway, I was seated and offered a wine and drinks list. Got a lovely Aperol spritz made correctly! The menu is small platoshich was great as it was a very warm day and you wouldn't want anything heavy. I chose the gazpacho and then burrata with heirloom tomatoes and pesto. Both dishes were very good. The tomatoes in the salad were perfectly ripe and the pesto was outstanding. The gazpacho was very good also, very flavorful and spiced just right, not overwhelming the vegetables. The service was slightly distracted, for instance no spoon was brought with the gazpacho and as no one checked to see if the food was ok for quite awhile, I had to wait to eat it. All in all though a lovely setting, wonderful food and a great place to be on such a beautiful afternoon

The breakfasts were very nice and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately I would echo the previous review - we were in a road facing room and as a result, it was really, really loud going late into the night. That was really disappointing, try as we might to put towels around the window but it didnt make any different. The noice actually came from the bar next door and the people in the street - it seemed they would never shut-up! The sad irony was that we had very favourable weather - if it was raining they would have had to have drunk indoors and we wouldn't have had the problem!

We stayed here recently on a stag do. The hotel came as part of a package, so I have no idea how…read moremuch it actually costs to stay. In terms of the building, this is probably one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. Our 4 person room had a bunk bed and two additional beds, crammed in so tightly that you had to side step between them. We were lucky (!) enough to have an en-suite, which had a slide door which did not shut probably. The shower started off freezing cold for the first few minutes before, in a mater of seconds, changing to being painfully hot. Dangerously so in fact; I would not want to let a child use this shower. The other rooms in the hotel share bathrooms, each broken in their own way (toilet impossible to flush, shower hose broken off wall etc.). The place seemed generally dirty. When we arrived we each had to pay a £30 cash deposit, which was only returned after inspection and waiting around for 45 minutes on departure. They made a big fuss about how good their English breakfasts were: sadly these fell well below expectations, featuring only the bear minimum of beans, eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato and toast (no mushrooms, black pudding, hash browns here!). The ingredients all seemed to be from an economy/value supermarket range, and no-one in our group could stomach the sausages. They have a pool table in the front longe, and also an outside picnic table. The front of the hotel offers nice sea views. They also have a licensed bar (drinks poured from cans but at pub prices). On a positive note, the staff were genuinely friendly people, and seemed interested in where we were planning to go out, and what activities we had planned during the day (surfing). As such, I think this saved The Ridge from being 1 star - however, if it costs more than about £20 pppn to stay there I would definitely give this place a miss.

All in all I really felt like a welcome and appreciated guest and I got the sense that the hosts took pride in their local area and in inviting you to their home, which makes such a huge difference. They even had maps and transport timetables available and helped to make a dinner reservation. The place is also conveniently located within 15-min walking distance of St. Austell rail and bus station.

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.
