Room with a view
Location was lovely , views of st Michaels mount, beach front with parking right next to the hotel very convenient. We had the Penzer point family room , which had low ceilings in both rooms. Had I known this , I wouldn’t have booked this as all of my family are very tall. The amount of times my children bumped their heads were too many. The main bathroom had some drainage problem and the shower would overflow , made the housekeeping staff aware after the first night and they assured me they would get a plumber to look into this and this did not happen as we had the same problem the second night. The breakfast was included in our stay, and my son ordered the buttermilk pancakes and we were assure by the chef directly that the dish did not include eggs , half way through eating them , the manager came and advised there were eggs on the pancakes, my son stopped eating them. The manager apologised to us however as the breakfast was included in our stay , informed us that she could not do anything for us. 😳 Staff were friendly. Nice location Room with a view

It was our first time in Cornwall and we booked the Godolphin to stay in and we was not disappointed. The Hotel, the staff, the restaurant, the service, the room, everything was a 10/10 and we couldn’t be happier. The manager and the reception staff were also very friendly and helpful. I will definitely will be booking this hotel again for when ever me and my family come back to Cornwall as it’s literally perfect.

Fantastic stay
We had a fantastic stay at the Godolphin. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The parking was easy to access, but there is a small fee. The views from this hotel are absolutely amazing! We spent 2 weeks visiting Brittain, and the 3 nights we spent here were the best of our entire trip.

Staying at The Godolphin
Staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating. We had to catch the Scillonian III to the Isles of Scilly and it wasn't any trouble to sort out prepacked breakfasts for our journey, early in the morning. Room was spacious and comfortable complete with little touches such as coffee machine and little welcoming Brownies. Restaurant was bright and airy with dramatic views of St Michaels Mount. A fabulous stay. Keep up the great work.

Inconsistent performance
Splendid position opposite St Michael's Mount. Excellent room with modern bathroom and good private terrace. Welcoming staff in the hotel but it is badly let down by an outsourced restaurant (Shutters) with poorly cooked food (tasteless onion soup and cardboard tasting burger) and limited choice, which meant that we only ate there once and went out for other evening meals. Inconsistent service from the restaurant staff, possibly a training challenge with seasonal employees - though our visit was in July. This was partly redeemed by good breakfasts.

Disappointing
We were looking forward to staying here for a short weekend break,unfortunately the room had nowhere to hang clothes as the fridge was in the wardrobe!. The room was a little tired, and our experience of the restaurant was awful as there was a dog yapping incessantly with no one doing anything about it ,the staff ,to be fair did move us ,but to the middle of the room which was uncomfortable, we also found the food to be over priced for what we received .when we booked this on hotels.com it stated no dogs ,clearly that needs to be updated. Very disappointing

Amazing location, friendly staff. The amount of dogs in the restaurant could be a bit off putting and maybe an area for no dogs at table would sort that out

The best welcome at reception to a short-break possible; carried on by every member of staff. Not experienced such a warm and friendly staff crew in a long time. Parking was easy, something we dread in Cornwall, and reasonably priced at £10 per night. Our room (Jubilee) was clean and bright and spacious. Very large balcony with great views over St Michael’s Mount and the bay. The dining area, split into two: seaside traditional and seaside modern was lovely; with views from pretty much all of the tables. The sharing or starter plates were all interesting, we managed most of them over two nights. A brilliant little hotel, highly recommended.
