There's certainly good produce on the Cornish coast, and it seems that the chefs at The Cottage make the most of it - guests rave about the quality and value. There's no skimping on portions, and they'll even do you a packed lunch.
Guests comment on the friendly and efficient attitude of the staff, who go out of their way to help, and are founts of local knowledge. From the reception desk to the housekeeping, this place is run with the guest in mind.
The hotel can be a bit tricky to find by car, as it's tucked away behind the railway car park, and there are no obvious signs. Once you get there, at least there's free parking, but it can make arrival more stressful than it need be.
The decor throughout the hotel could do with a bit of an update - apparently the hotel has been catering to coach parties for a long time, and it shows. A facelift would brighten the place up, but it's comfortable enough.
There's only Wi-Fi provision in public areas, and there's no chance of connecting in your room. If you're escaping the rat race for a few days, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for many guests, it's a bit of a nuisance.
