The Godolphin, Marazion

Stayed here in mid October, was absolutely lovely. The staff were so nice and kind. After having spent 6 weeks walking around Europe and being surrounded by tons of people in busy cities, it was so nice to just relax in the calm little town. I even extended my stay an extra day just to take a break. They have a really nice restaurant with amazing views of St. Michael's Mount.

Great example of how a restaurant should be. We booked for our 10 year wedding anniversary having had our honeymoon there in 2015. Had a put a request on the booking which was read and carried out making our meal that extra bit special. Welcoming friendly staff in a easygoing but striking environment making the meal enjoyable and relaxing. Food was great and we loved everything we had. Waiting times were just fine and the waitress was attentive but not overbearing. So really enjoyable service with great food in a relaxed environment. Will come back soon (sooner than 10 years) Thanks The Godolphin

If I could give the service 10 stars I would, just wow! From the moment we booked we were made to feel like celebrities! Hannah was amazing and made the whole booking process so easy! 🎉 We arrived on a slightly damp day in Marazion but were immediately lifted by Prue on arrival! A ray of pure sunshine! She made us feel so special and took care of our every need. We've never had Service like it! The room was incredibly special but the food and service from Prue at the restaurant was even better! If you go in the autumn or winter you have to get the pie! 🍂🥧 it was like a hug! To top it all off they made us the most amazing breakfast sandwiches in the morning before our run in Lands End. I'd recommend this hotel and its amazing staff to anyone looking for a place to stay in Cornwall, INCREDIBLE! 🎉 thank you to everyone ❤️

We spent the week at the hotel over Christmas and we had the most fantastic stay. The owners and all the staff made us and our two Spaniels so welcome, they couldn't do enough for us. The food in the restaurant was top drawer and the service was outstanding, including Christmas dinner which was an absolutely brilliant occasion. The room was spotless and the views are sensational. We arrived as guests, but by the end of the week it felt like we had stayed with friends.

We love the restaurant at The Godolphin in Marazion. The atmosphere is excellent. The service is great. The staff is friendly, attentive, polite, and professional. The quality of the food and drinks is exceptional. One of our favourite places to go. Highly recommend.

This was a return 'home' for us to enjoy a quick 'fix' by the sea, to feel relaxed and chilled: the whole team at The Godolphin delivered big-time!||From the arrival welcome, to the layout, cleanliness and facilities in the bedroom, the styling of the public rooms themselves, the views over Mount's Bay and St. Michael's Mount, and the quality of the food and drink (at breakfast and dinner) everything was better than faultless ... fantastic!! Even the sound of the water beneath the bedroom window !!!||And, as for the most important fixture in any hotel, the staff ! : what a brilliant team ... without fail; warm, welcoming, interested, high quality ... everyone was genuinely the absolute best!||So thanks to all of them .... they and their attentiveness was hugely appreciated.

We have just returned from a wonderful two nights away at the Godolphin. Our first visit but not the last. Of course it has views to die for, and of course anyone would be happy waking up with views across to St Michael's Mount but it was so much more than that. Every member of staff we spoke to was friendly and attentive. The food was really interesting and delicious and our room was clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need. We took our dog with us and usually find that places are dog tolerant but not necessarily dog friendly, not the case here! Seren was catered for superbly and treated as a VIP guest. We run a B&B ourselves which has won several local and national awards so we know the hard work that goes into getting it this right. Thank you team Godolphin!

We had a fabulous lunch with our little dog overlooking St Michael's Mount. It's a Sunday but we're not fans of roast dinners, which is a big deal in Cornwall. However, we were made to feel very welcome and our server couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. He was an absolute delight. They do have a mains menu as well as their roasts but we happily munched on focaccia, olives and chorizo bites with balsamic and oil for dipping, all washed down with a lovely pinot noir. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. I look forward to returning one day soon x

Stumbled upon Godolphin as we did not have Internet so could not check online and they had availability for lunch. Turned into a great find. The views are brilliant and the service was very friendly. The food also did not disappoint. Started with fried calamari, a good size portion and it had a little kick to it. The most impressive dish, though, was my main of mussels. I ordered the large size, as I've never had too many mussels, but this really was a large. Huge portion of mussels, nice sized and meaty ones and the broth was incredible. I have never before felt so stuffed from mussels, well worth it. The only disappointment was the bread nibble. Four pieces of bread for 6 pounds feels excessive, especially compared to the reasonable food prices. All in all, very happy we stopped here and would go back.

We had found this hotel on the internet before our recent trip to Cornwall and all agreed that it looked absolutely stunning. Alas, when we arrived we felt a little disappointed and I was all set to give them a low review. The bedrooms felt like they had been recently refurbished but the rest of the hotel was pretty tatty, with chipped paint and flakey wallpaper. Doors to cleaning rooms were left open and rubbish was left outside which gave a very poor perception of this hotel. The shower in our bedroom also fluctuated constantly from freezing to scorchio and the door wouldn't shut resulting rapidly in a flooded bathroom. However, the level of customer service in this hotel was exceptional and just proves how simply things like friendliness and helpfulness can turn someone's experience around... The front of house staff were quick to change our room for us when we mentioned the problems with the shower. We were, in fact, moved to a room with a brand-new top-of-the-range shower and breathtaking views of St Michael's Mount from the window. A room that would normally have been a lot more expensive. In fact, all the staff we came into contact with were amazing good at their jobs - from reception, to bar staff, to waiting staff, and in particular the older chap (Anthony) that single-handedly ran the breakfast service. Oh the breakfast!! There was so much choice from full English, to Continental, to smoked salmon and scrambled egg, to poached haddock, and any combination of the above. Nothing was too much trouble and our server never batted an eyelid when my slightly fussy travelling companions made particular demands on how the scrambled egg and sausages should be cooked, as well as asking for extras...! The evening food, although nothing outstanding, was tasty and filling. My one complaint was that there was nowhere in the bar where you could escape the noisy television, which happened to be showing the final of BGT on this evening. We ended up going to bed early just to get away from it! Overall, what could have been a disappointing stay turned into a lovely travel experience and we ended up staying for an extra night.

Great location. Great view. Service non existent. Have waited 25 minutes after being seated. Had to ask a sever to help us. Restaurant is not busy and lots of staff around. Not impressed. Food is pricer compared to others in the area .we had high hopes coming in however there are other options .

We had dinner here two nights in a row, which is rare for us. This is because (1) the other restaurants/pubs in town have *much* more limited hours and availability, and (2) it was delicious. Overall, it's a large restaurant space (attached to a hotel) that has an outdoor area that overlooks Mont St. Michel. The tables were spread out enough for comfort, and it was casual and relaxed. The service was excellent on both nights. They are open later than seemingly any other restaurant in town, which is very convenient. They have a local beer special: you get three 1/2 pints of Cornish beer/cider for the price of 1 pint. It was a good deal, and the beers and ciders were tasty.In addition to the regular menu, there are 3-4 specials each night. We tried out the fish and chips, burger, lamb shoulder, hake, power salad, and monkfish (special) - and we all enjoyed our food. While we were there, the waiters sang happy birthday to a diner and brought him a cake with sparklers, which was fun. We would definitely return!

On the face of it the Godolphin is everything you would want from an upmarket gastro pub if you were visiting on holiday - perfect food, location etc. For me though, as a local who enjoyed coming here regularly, I was really upset when the place underwent a major refit. All the Cornish character was stripped out, the food was upgraded from affordable, delicious pub grub to expensive nouvelle-style cuisine. In short it became what I call 'St Ives'd.' Myself and my partner only ate there once after the refit and decided we would not be eating there again. Very sad as we used to go there nearly every weekend in the old days.

We keep returning here when in the area, as the food is consistently interesting and tasty, without being over the top. And the view of the Mount is to die for. I think there is a new chef, and the food now seems better than ever. Recent meals have included seared rump of Cornish lamb with crushed new potatoes and pink peppercorns; and hake tagine with almond and apricot rice and flatbread. Excellent desserts too, with summer berry bread and butter pudding with clotted cream a standout. They do a lovely espresso martini too. Dinner for two (main, pud, drinks) was £65. It's a must.

Very nice pub, situated over four levels, which all take advantage of the spectacular views of St. Michaels Mount. Great areas for eating or enjoying the views and a quiet pint. You shouldn't be put off by the prices as the food is excellent quality and worth the extra holiday treat, so indulged yourself, you deserve it.

We had breakfast here before going across to St.Micheals mount. The English breakfast was excellent with proper sausages and mushrooms. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

We live nearby, and over the last 10 years or so we have frequently visited for the generally good Sunday carvery lunch, choosing a window table with a great view over the Mount and Bay, and have enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Until last Sunday. We guess that things have changed under new management. "If there are only two of you, you must wait ,then sit at a tiny rickety table next to a service door" - so says the new Herr Manager. We guess this new Mr Adolf has lots of boxes to tick - it's a shame that he is chasing away long-established customers with his bad manners and appalling customer service. There are lots of local places to go elsewhere.

Stopped here for a coffee after our visit to the mount, a maze of rooms to eat in but sat outside with a nice view of the mount. May go back for a meal later on our hols.

Sunday carvery is very tasty and is only complimented by a view to die for (especially if you get the table in the window!). Can get very busy (shows just how good it is) so would recommend booking for a special occasion. Definitely one to add to the list of places to try, if you haven't already done so.
