A suprise break for my wife - with visits to the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. We had booked dinner, bed and breakfast for three nights and had been given an upgraded de-luxe room with fantastic views over Carlyon Bay. We chose to have dinner in the restaurant rather than in the bistro. The waitresses, Laura and... more

We have just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Porth Avallen Hotel despite atrocious weather. The staff were outstanding and their friendliness and warmth of welcome was really appreciated. The food was of a very good standard and the chef took the time to ask us after each meal if everything had been ok and joined us as... more

We weren't quite sure what to expect since this was our first trip to the area. As we turned off the main road, we realized we were in a very upscale neighborhood of beautiful homes overlooking the bay -- very impressive. We found the Porth Avallen easily and although the outside looks just "average" (meaning not very deluxe and a... more

Having not visited Cornwall for over 30+ yrs after considering a number of options we plumped for the Port Avallen Hotel. Firstly the location is brilliant, no doubt about that. The Reception staff were very pleasant at all times. Thereafter it went down hill somewhat. Considering I paid £150 per night bed and breakfast I expected a lot more. In... more

We stayed one night, Hotel room was clean. Food in the bar was delicious. Staff were lovely, polite and friendly. Garden and view were fab too. more

All staff were very friendly & helpful. Food in the restaurant and bistro was well prepared & of high quality. If you are visiting the Eden... more

We had our wedding here in April. We chose it due to the fantastic location, the beautiful refurbished gardens and function room. Overall, we had a wonderful day but there were some things that were disappointing and that other potential customers would benefit from being aware of. Without any prior warning the new garden that we were looking forward to... more

We did not stay at the hotel but booked it for a family function on a Saturday afternoon. The waiting and bar staff were very friendly. However the food was disappointing especially given the price tag - and the vegetarian option offered was unbelievably unimaginative - again especially in view of the price tag - just a few roasted peppers,... more

Was a bit worried as booked hotel and then viewed comments on Tripadvisor which seemed to really knock the hotel. I needn't have worried because everything was fantastic. If you can pay a little more and get a superior room, I would recommend it. The views were absolutely stunning. The room was huge with two armchairs perfectly placed in the... more
