Polurrian on the Lizard

A very beautiful looking hotel and fairly reasonable compared to other hotels in this bracket. The scenery and the location are beautiful as the hotel sits high up on a cliff with breathtaking views across the lizard peninsula. The rooms with a sea view I would highly recommend as you can fall asleep listening to the waves crashing against the rocks whilst looking out over the ocean. The restaurant and vista serve a variety of dishes for everyone and again would highly recommend dining there as you can enjoy your meal whilst looking out over the ocean.

We stayed for 3 night as a wedding anniversary celebration. We found that it exceeded our expectations on many counts. The location and views are fantastic and made more enjoyable with the changing Cornish weather. We had some lovely walks along the coast path and popped in to Mullian to enjoy the local pubs and coffee stops. Pool and pool area area was very hot but the Sea is cooler if it is too much for you. Advertised as Dog friendly and it really was, so often we see 'dog friendly' but this was one of the most accepting, nice touch with the room door labels for when your dog is left alone for a short while. Overall, good value for money in our opinion. Oh, should also mention the beautiful gardens. Really happy to stay again at some point in the future.

We had a bit of a mixed experience with lunch, which I won’t go into, because honestly it’s no longer important. Helen was absolutely brilliant. She was already on the front foot before we’d even raised any concerns, and when something else came up, she handled it quickly, professionally, and with a genuinely friendly attitude. What could’ve been a disappointing experience was completely turned around thanks to how she dealt with it. Also, the views here are incredible, worth coming just to have a drink and take it all in.

The cream tea was served in a beautiful setting with attentive and solicitous service. Unfortunately, the scones were dry and dense and I doubt if the jam had ever seen a strawberry. Very disappointing, such a lovely place could do better

Had a one night stop over at the hotel, staff were very polite and the hotel location is just beautiful. Our room was very comfortable although it was rather dated, having a huge crack in the basin was surprising and the very shallow step in and out if the bathroom was an issue so be careful, not sure if all rooms had this, apart from these minor issues, would return? definitely! Breakfast was great, and again service impeccable

We had a great stay. Food and service is really good. Excellent base to walk and explore this gorgeous part of Cornwall. We had a lovely room with a sea view. Whilst I appreciate that there is going to be an extensive upgrade to the hotel, the existing gym is very poor, not clean and generally feels unloved, probably best to close as my personal opinion is that this was the only negative thing about our recent 2 night stay. Special mention to Amber Dickinson who was great and offered exceptional customer service.

Lovely location. Beautiful scenery. Room overlooking the sea was very nice and comfortable. Service bit hit and miss. Ordered eggs on white toast received brown, ordered thyme and onion soup received tomato. Food wasn't quite as nice as expected. Chicken was a bit dry. Fish of the day not available. Another fish dish came with muscles when I thought it meant muscle sauce. Menu was the same the entire stay. Breakfast was okay as mostly self service. Service charge added even when having a mocktail made. Had service charge removed for one of the messed up dinners. The pool and jacuzzi was lovely. You get given a half hour slot bookable on the day, not in advance.

It’s in a truly wonderful headland location overlooking the sea but is in desperate need of the total refurbishment apparently planned for early 2026. We stayed 3 days during a heatwave, and aside from the swimming pool the hotel is simply not a comfortable place especially if your room is facing the sea, and full afternoon sun. Breakfast service was good albeit a bit slow but not as slow as the bar service, which during our stay was under staffed ( and then by very young, inexperienced bar staff ). But such a good location we would consider returning after the refurbishment, and seeing reports that the service has improved.

Impressive looking hotel in great location overlooking Polurrian Cove on the Lizard. Owned (since Mar '08) by the same family that runs the 4 star Treglos Hotel at Constantine Bay near Padstow, this is a friendly and informal hotel. It would seem that the Barlow family are still investing money in the Polurrain - perhaps to gain that extra star. At the time we were there, they were carrying out work improving the leisure suite - the hotel has indoor and outdoor pools as well as a pool table, jacuzzi, beauty treatment rooms etc. The food is plentiful and of a good standard (important) and is served in an attractive restaurant overlooking Mounts Bay. The adjacent bar has comfortable soft furnished sofas and armchairs or if you wish you can watch the sun go down over the horizon. The rooms are well appointed and well furnished and staff friendly and helpful. The coastal path runs close by and Polurrian Cove is about 10 minutes walk away. The cove has an excellent sandy beach and as the nearest public parking is some distance away it doesn't get too over crowded. It is, however, a fair climb back up to the hotel from the beach at the end of the day.
