We were looking forward to a welcome break at the end of the winter, the Metropole and it's staff did not disappoint. Particular mention - the food. it was of the highest order, good choices of menu, and served by particularly friendly staff. A gem of a hotel in wonderful surroundings. Shall we return, absolutely!

Stumbled on this gem and remembered some people recommending it. So glad we stayed as it's a wondeful old hotel in a great spot. Easy walk down to the village. The room was comfortable and lovely doors opening onto the garden with views across the bay.

Dear SFmonster Thank you for your review, I am so pleased to read your comments and to hear of your sentiments. The Metropole is certainly a gem and I don't think it could have been built in a better location all those years ago! I do hope you will consider a future stay with us, it would be our pleasure...

Enjoyed a wonderful meal with 20 relatives at this fantastic hotel. The various starters, main courses and desserts were all excellent. Very comfortable, if a little old fashioned, surroundings with wonderful views overlooking Padstow. Staff very helpful and efficient.

As a member of a large party descending on you in May, I was most impressed with your organisation of check in and daily menu selection. The food choice and quality was excellent - we never once felt the need to go to nearby Rick Stein's restaurant ! Your staff are your jewels. Nothing was too much trouble and they... More

Fantastic location overlooking Padstow, the harbour and the sea. Our room was large with twin beds and two arm chairs. The wardrobe had a loose fitting hinge so that one of the doors would not close properly. The CRT TV was a joke, very limited range of TV channels. Freeview TV is available in this area, so why have they... More

Dear yorkshirepeople Thank you for your review. I am very perturbed by the room faults you experienced - any singular one of these would be one too many, and this is certainly not our usual standard of maintenance or housekeeping. I will investigate and rectify the faults with maintenance immediately, and I apologise that in this area we were found... More

This hotel, although rather tired, is saved by the warmth of its staff and high quality of food. We stayed for a number of nights and were largely pleased with the Cornish welcome we received along with the well presented food on offer. We understand that the owning group is refurbishing the hotel but perhaps a standardisation of staff attire... More

Dear Harry M Thank you for your review, your comments are very gratefully received. In amongst our ongoing refurbishment and improvements we do also aim to offer consistently high standards throughout the hotel. The fact that the staff attire was not consistent is surprising and I would be very pleased if you would contact me directly so I can find... More
