“From what I gather, the Barrowfield is a classic seaside hotel finding its feet again, emphasizing location and family fun. The indoor pool is a definite plus, and the proximity to beaches means you're never far from the Cornish coast. Though some areas are undergoing updates, the staff's dedication seems to smooth over any rough edges, which, to me, is a solid foundation for a good stay.”

the staff were very helpful. they quickly addressed a minor issue with the tv in my room. the room included tea and coffee making facilities.. it was nice to have that. the bathroom was equipped with fresh towels daily.
the lift was quite small. it only accommodated a couple of people at a time, and this caused some waiting. the room decor felt a bit dated. i noticed some wear and tear on the furniture, and there was no air conditioning
