It made our trip to St Austell a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We only stayed here for 1 night, as we didn't have time, but everything was fine.
Some of the staff were particularly busy.

I'd give it more than 4 stars, everything was perfectly fine. I stayed in the room that was cleaned everyday and available with garden view as well as bathrobes. Location was absolutely perfect, 30 km to Newquay airport, perfectly reachable. Staff was super amiable and the service was excellent. Nothing too much trouble, I liked this hotel and would return here.

Outstanding food options. Lovely gardens, the place is 2 km away from the St Austell downtown. All in all a pleasant experience. The hotel met requests, I would like to stay longer.
