It's a truly unique location... being cut off by the tide twice a day on your own island. It's stunning. The attention to Art Deco is remarkable. It was spotlessly clean. The service is relaxed not over the top. The food was really good, not superb and perhaps not quite worth the price, but I get that you're paying for the location as much as anything. Love that the rooms don't have TVs to be authentic to the period. It's fun having the 4x4 transfer over the beach or the sea tractor through the waves. We'd go back again. It was really special for our anniversary

We loved the hotel, we thought the staff were friendly and helpful. Knocked a star off for the food, as an expensive meal that was very average. We pre ordered our wine in the bar for dinner but came half way through the main course, and we had to ask for it. Oysters were delicious and so was one of the puddings. At breakfast eggs were great but rest of food on plate was too salty to eat. So this just took edge off the whole experience.

Wonderful stay. This was a surprise mini-moon gifted to us by family and it did not disappoint. Service was exceptional throughout, the hotel is different and memorable, but luxurious. Food was excellent, as well as the cocktails. It was just the relaxing few days by the sea we needed!

The staff were effortlessly, smoothly friendly and professional and the surroundings were just beautiful. I liked that all the men were in their black tie suits at dinner-gave it a lovely vibe-and I thought I would feel underdressed but was also made to feel really comfortable. I would say my fish was a bit overcooked and the falafel canape was a little dry, but otherwise the food was delicious (the duck parfait was lovely) and the wine flight was well-thought out and worked with the dishes. The island itself and surrounding beach is just breathtaking and the room (Amy Johnson) was well-themed. Just missing some cups by the sink for toothbrushes ;-) But otherwise, just a brilliant stay.

Burgh Island

Burgh Island was fabulous. The one complaint was re the dress code. We had called in advance to find out what we should wear and was told no jeans and trainers. During our stay other guests were wearing jeans and trainers both in the Nettlefold restaurant during dinner and breakfast. This was a special trip for us so we were disappointed to find there appeared to be a disregard for the dress code. We had stressed over what was appropriate for us to wear so seeing others in jeans and trainers was not good. We really enjoyed our meal in the Nettlefold restaurant and would have dined in there on the other two evenings but it only serves fish so limits choice. We ate in the Pilchard Inn where the food and service was excellent. We did have a great stay. Many thanks to the staff and especially Mr James for making our overall experience fantastic.
