My husband and I visited the Seafood Restaurant whilst on holiday, with our (smaller than average) 3 year old son. My first impression was that the Maitre d' did not believe that our son was son 3 as she snidely whispered to the receptionist (3 is the minimum age for the restaurant). I felt she should have been open about... more

I am a bit of a fan of Rick Stein's TV shows and particularly his enthusiasm for simple cooking woth good ingredients, so it was about time I visited his "main" restaurant to see if it practises what he preaches. Booking for dinner was impossible so we went for lunch. The dining room is vast and more reminiscent of a... more

Just returned from two night stay in Padstow. Have not been to Cornwall for some years so had some reservations about what it may be like.. Should not have worried..Had a fantastic time from the minute we arrived.. Stayed at Rick Stein's Bryn Cottage which was just beautiful.. had thought when we booked it was a bit pricey but when... more

Looking for a special meal, or a short break for my 50th Birthday, we decided to try both at once, and as we both enjoy seafood,'Rick Stein's' seemed a good choice. We didn't think to check Trip Advisor before we booked, but when we checked it out we had serious doubts, but any worries were unfounded, especially concerning 'cold and... more

Have just returned from a 2 night special deal (Sunday and Monday night bed breakfast and evening meal) and have to say that it was excellent. We stayed at the Seafood Restaurant and had the St Breoc Room which was very nice with a view across the Estuary. We ate in the Bistro and the main Restaurant and had an... more

We have just returned from a 2 day stay at the Seafood Restaurant and to be honest we could not fault it. I had some reservations after having read some of the reviews but I need not have worried - it was superb. We had room 2 which was lovely. Simply decorated, with a great view over the harbour, huge... more

We were obviously staying here to sample the delights of the Seafood Restaurant which we thought was superb. We were staying in room 7 with our puppy and I can only guess that pet owners were maybe given a slightly older room as ours was very pleasant and I think had been recently painted but the bathroom was a little... more

The Seafood Restaurant was booked for my birthday as a surprise and the hotel is well located on the sea front. We stayed in the new Gulland Room which had 4 poster, fabulous bathroom and roof terrace complete with electric fountain. The room had everything one needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent attention to detail and the most comfiest of... more

We have just come back from a stay in the seafood restaurant and were disappointed. The rooms were beautifully clean and decorated well but we have stayed in many good quality hotels over the years in many different countries and the staff at the seafood resturant would benefit from some hospitality training. Apart from the nice young man who booked... more
