“The hotel's clifftop setting above St Austell Bay delivers impressive sea views, creating a memorable backdrop. As an editor, I particularly note the family-run atmosphere and the chef's award-winning seafood, reflecting a commitment to local flavors. While some may find the décor a touch dated, its proximity to both the South West Coastal Path and attractions like the Eden Project makes it a practical base for exploring Cornwall.”
