Stayed here for a weekend break in December 2011 . Typical old fashioned English hotel with fantastic charector , we absolutely loved everything about it . Owners were very freindly and helpful ( even lent us use of their car when we ran out of petrol on their drive ) great rooms and overall ambience . Cornwall is a mini paradise in itself and our stay was enhanced by this great country hotel . Yes averything is not perfect but this just adds to the whole experience , great food as well . Would definately stay again - loved it !!!

Me and my wife had a lovely stay while down in Liskeard. The staff were attentive and the rooms were lovely and clean. We ate in the restaurant on our last night and the food was well cooked and reasonably priced. It was a nice little break and we would definitely return.

We booked this hotel as part of one of those daily internet deals. There is the main hotel (in which we stayed) and a couple of apartments too.

We arrived on one of the wettest & darkest nights in November. The car park was muddy and unlit - we struggled to find the reception (there were no signs). The girls on reception were very friendly and booked us in for dinner in the hotel restaurant upon arrival.

We walked for what felt about a mile and a half to get to our room (it was an attic room) and it was so cold when we finally got in. The furniture and décor was dated (in need a bit of TLC) and the bathroom was tiny.There was a bath with a over head shower, but as the ceiling was sloped and so low it was hard to use. I'm only five foot but even I struggled to stand upright in the shower.

Whilst the bedding was clean, the bed was very uncomfortable. It was a very cheap, thin mattress and I didn't sleep well. My husband slept fine (but then he'd have a good night's sleep on a washing line ...) The walls were very thin and we could hear every word of the conversation in the room next door.

Breakfast on both mornings was lovely; big portions and lots of choice and the food. We thought the food in the restaurant was overpriced.

The hotel was fully booked and we noted a number of guests were unhappy with their rooms. They complained of flies, funny smells and rubbish TVs, but this was not something we experienced. The staff were very friendly, welcoming but looked rushed off their feet. On the Saturday afternoon, as the weather was rubbish, we sat by the lovely log fire on the comfy sofa and read newspapers and magazines.

We love Cornwall, but would not stay here again. The hotel needs a lot of money spent on it to bring it up to date and bring it in line with other hotels in the area. As we had a cheap deal, we were quite happy with what we paid, but would have been unhappy if we had paid their normal asking price.

Every night when we came back from the beach there was only enough hot water for one quick shower or half a bath. When we mentioned this to the staff they told the owner who appeared at our bedroom door VERY drunk, and became very abusive when I said that hot water should be a given!! It was very soon apparent that we were not the only people with this problem.

We have enjoyed many short stays in hotels across the country and this was by far the worst we have experienced.

Most definitely would not recommend
