The Lugger

I stayed for 4 nights at The Lugger in The Lookout, a brick hut with sublime views of the harbour. The bedroom was small - not much room to walk around, not a lot of storage space, and cupboard doors didn’t have enough space to open fully. Ditto the shower room (nb no bath). I think two people would struggle a bit. But it was comfortable, furnished to a good standard, and with most things you might need. The bed was lovely.||Staff were great, both at reception and in the restaurant, although the younger ones would benefit from a bit more experience and training. Breakfast was decent, but some of the hot offerings were much better than others. Evening meals were okay and decently cooked/presented without being exceptional. Personally I thought they were expensive for the standard on offer.||Other things:|- wi-fi worked well. Different routers in room and common areas.|- car park is a decent size but the spaces are tight. You need to take care. |- the Ship Inn nearby is a nice, traditional pub. The food served was hearty and reasonably priced, but the kitchen closes pretty early in the evenings.

Authentic fishing port and great little hotel. Lovely food, great staff and amazing views. Although right on the sea, not a great beach for swimming as rocky and rough but food, drinks and view more than make up for that! Best cooked breakfast ever, with the most lovely waitress and stunning views (and sunshine helped too)

We had a wonderful time for our 3 day holiday in Portloe and Cornwall. The property was amazing. Our group was upgraded to a suite which really enhanced our stay and our experience. The restaurant, staff, management and Food and Beverage offerings were very memorable. I am a global events producer and this property is top notch in every capacity. Thank you for a wonderful stay Team Lugger Hotel!

Beautiful Hotel! Staff were amazing, food was exceptional! What a gem. Unfortunately I didn't sleep at all well due to room being lit up all night from a outside flood light from the hotel that shone in our room! The blinds were inadequate to block out any sort of light, so 4am it was daylight in our room. We would absolutely love to visit again as long as we have a room with black out or even decent curtains/ blind! We managed the coastal path walk on the Sunday which was amazing. A beautiful spot surrounded by nature.

We had a very warm welcome on arrival from Alison, she was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a fantastic meal in the restaurant, wonderful food, great breakfast and beautiful views of the harbour. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Comfortable room, furniture and fittings to a high standard. Would love to come again!

We stayed just one night at The Lugger... the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable and well equipped although I would suggest they fit a blackout blind on the window as early summer the room was very bright very early! We ate at the hotel and enjoyed a very high quality meal ... fresh seafood at good value prices... in the morning we ate a high quality breakfast outside on the Quay, and then set off on the most incredible coastal walk. Highly recommended a stay here. We will definitely return. 👍👍

We visited Portloe and decided on an afternoon tea we had our three scottie dogs with us the hotel was happy to accept us, the two ladies on reception were really welcoming and showed us to a wonderful terrace with stunning views. The cream tea was excellent well presented, the scones and brownie were delicious. We didn't stay in the hotel but maybe next time, it certainly is a lovely bespoke hotel full of charm and great staff too.

We were so disappointed. The location is beautiful but the hotel over priced. The toilet in the bathroom was next to the bath and once sat down you could not move your elbows!! 2 chocolate mints and 3 apples do not make it a 4 star and we had a decidedly wet dog smelling carpet. It is the only place you can eat in Portloe (the pub does not take bookings) so you are stuck paying a ridiculous amount of money for the hotel food. There were 2 members of staff who were really rude, 1 on reception and the other in the restaurant at breakfast, I'm not sure if they were just unhappy but we left early and then got ripped off although we had booked a flexible rate, they just upped the prices for the first few nights to offset the final night.

Cute hotel in a small town. Their heart is in the right place but execution is rough around the edges. Housekeeping was notably bad (towels purposely left on ground were re-hung rather than replaced, etc.). The reception and dining room staff were all friendly and helpful, although one staff member in particular was a bit of a klutz and overly excitable... there were frequent clashes and bangs from him rushing around and dropping silverware. The food was great!

We loved our stay at the Lugger! Cute little marina in Portloe and a fun trip down narrow roads to get there! Definitely quiet and secluded. We enjoyed the included breakfasts and also the additional dinners. Great menu, with some changed entres the 2nd night. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed hiking around the hotel on the cliffs and paths! The room was comfortable with nice amenities. There was a small tv, but we never even turned it on. Too much to do outside! Complimentary hit chocolate in the evenings was a nice touch, too! We'll be back!
