We decided to stay in the Duke of Cornwall because it is in a good location and we like the older style feel of hotels. Check in was smooth but i didnt feel like the receptionist had much of an idea on dinner when we queried about it. Room: Newly refurbished. Wallpaper was pink with flowers which wasnt to our... More

Well where do i start, on first glimpse of the hall we were useing i was impressed with the table decorations and the space for our works party but alass thats where it ends. On arrival of our hot buffet it went down hill,we had a choice of 3 hot dishes all equally tasteless apart from being too salty, maybe... More

Lounges had bare floors, they were replacing the carpet on the main stairs when we arrived. So got a glimpse of the old and the new. Colour of new carpet adds to the history... More

The staff were all extremely smart, helpful and efficient and our lunch was a relaxed and enjoyable event. The Hotel decor had improved since our... More

We were not advised when making the booking that tables were for 8 so we would be on 2 tables. We have taken our staff to party nights at various hotels for the last 15... More

Stayed here to go to a gig at Pavillions. Excellent location with free parking. Check-in was good and room was large and had a sea view. Fancied a drink before the gig but the service in the bar was dreadful, which resulted in some potential customers walking away. Breakfast was excellent. A bar meal had been charged to my room...

Could not fault any of the courses. Small menu changed daily. Not huge portions but that means you can manage three courses. Each course beautifully presented and very tasty. Had for starter a very tasty wild mushroom ravioli with wilted spinach and creamy sauce had lovely tempura mushrooms round the edge. Delicious! Do try the red gumnut wine husband is... More
