Wonderful Escapism A treat away for my 50th birthday. Exceptional service throughout our stay from bar and restaurant staff, through to the lovely cleaning ladies. Made my stay very special, fabulous food both at the Pilchard Inn and the black tie dinner. Any little issues were dealt with straight away and am already looking for an excuse to go back again, oh and you must brave it and take a swim in the mermaid pool.

A birthday to remember

It was something that wife had wanted to do since she was a teenager. And now we both have, it is an iconic location with an amazing history and it has hosted some of the most famous people of the 20th century which include Winston Churchill to the Fab Four "The Beatles". It was everything we expected and for more.

Our 2 night stay was exceptionally good from start to finish. Every member of staff we met was excellent and really made our stay special. This, combined with the food and drink, location and ambiance means that, for us, it’s one of the best hotels we have stayed in.

A great overall experience.

This is an experience rather than a hotel stay. From the moment we parked we were looked after by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were great, we had suite which was fully furnished in art deco style but with up to date touches; coffee machine. Underfloor heating.

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.
