The Lugger

Well what can i say about this beaut little place ? First of all I'd like to thank the staff ( the lovely Alison to be more specific) as you'll be hard pressed to meet a nicer person as nothing was too much trouble for her , the venue is situated in a working harbour all be it a very QUIET working harbour with free guest parking , the food was beautiful and well served in a spotlessly clean dining room the chef must have been bob on also as the care with which the food had obviously been prepared and cooked with was telling in its taste ( first class ) in my opinion, all around this location is located in a safe , peaceful and QUIET setting our only regret is that we could only stay for the one night as work curtailed our visit , oh and BTW your pet would enjoy the break as this is a pet friendly establishment . We'll definitely be staying longer on our next visit .

The location is gorgeous, so peaceful and relaxing. Room was lovely with nice touches. Lovely lounge where you can read and relax and terrace in good weather. We had a wonderful stay the staff are really kind and attentive and made us feel very welcome. We will come back. Thank you!

An amazing location, full of Cornish charm. We stayed here for our anniversary in the beach cottage with a view of the stunning little beach. Restaurant served a lovely vegetarian meal for us and more than enough choice for breakfast. Accommodation very clean and comfortable with views to die for - even from the lovely rolled top freestanding bath. Perfect for a romantic holiday. All the staff are super friendly and willing help with anything . There are some beautiful coastal path walks from the beach and easy access to local attactions to complete your stay. We had an amazing time and its a memory we will cherish. We highly recommend this hotel and we will visit again.

The last time we ate here the portions were so small, we actually came away hungry and I gave a one star review. This time the portions were much better and the quality was amazing. What an improvement. It’s a shame there’s a service charge, but when we asked the waiter to remove it, he was understanding and discreetly removed it without any fuss whatsoever. (We like to give a cash tip separately, the amount decided by us, not the restaurant).

Excellent hotel in amazing location. Very dog friendly as evidenced by treats in the room and dog bowls also provided. Dog wash outside which helped remove most of the coast path from our cockapoo. Drying room for boots and gear another plus. Best mussels I’ve had in a long time in the restaurant. Very friendly staff. Easy to rate as excellent as they really go the extra mile.

We went today 16/11/25 for Sunday lunch, they don’t offer Sunday lunch, we ordered from the menu, soup carrots and coriander, very bland, we left it, my wife ordered crab linguine, huge plate, no imagination, no tomatoes , no chili, no taste just bland, I had the mussels, chunky and delicious, the juice was nothing no taste, I did complain and the soup and lingerie was removed from the bill, this is such a shame, a beautiful location, wonderful hotel, but in need of a good chef. The service was ok, but the younger waitress had no idea what a Pinot Grigio was, blame the hotel management for this, need to provide training. A special day was spoilt, we are now in a pub having roast potatoes ax too late for lunch. Disappointing..

A real gem right on the water’s edge! We stopped in for lunch and the fish finger sandwiches were absolutely delicious — perfectly crisp fish with fresh, tasty sides. The mocktail was refreshing and the view from our table over the cove was just breathtaking. Friendly service and a beautiful setting made this a special experience. Can’t wait to return!

Stopped for one night walking the Coast Path. Absolutely excellent hotel in a great location. Very large, lovely, very clean room. Absolutely first class food both in the evening and breakfast. Expensive but worth it. Dog friendly, which is nice for this type of hotel.

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!
