Great pub hotel right by the harbour and coast path. Some of the rooms are a bit small but they are well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious.

The room was clean in excellent condition with a spacious bathroom. There was a mini bar with some free drinks and some payable. We had a sea view and it was very quiet. The restaurant was amazing food and the free breakfast was also amazing. Would love to come back at some point. Would re ommend this for a trip to the Eden Project and we even went out on a fast boat ride with Seafari and had a trip to the Austell Brewery.

The shower was tiny and the room doors slammed shut. Staff were really nice. Menu choice could be wider. Bed really comfortable. Too many steps up to room and so many doors. Great location close to the sea. Excellent breakfast.

Staff and rooms were excellent - only disappointment for me was no alternative pillows- they were feather filled and to soft for me I prefer a firmer one - also a lot of building work going off nearby which isnt anything to do with the pier house but consequently it looks very untidy and denies access to the pier itself !

Average at best

Very noisy building, heavy footsteps/snoring/showers all audible. Front of house couldn't/wouldn't move our room. Bar next door had blaring music all day and to 11pm. Food not the best. Breakfast service slow even though there was only another table being served.

Look forward to returning!

Amazing stay at the Pier House! Staff were so kind and attentive. Rooms brand new - spacious and comfortable. Right on the beach, coastal walk. And restaurant delightful - generous portions of wonderful local foods and great wine. Lively scene indoors and out, yet peaceful and quiet up in room. I highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Fantastic place, great accommodation, lovely rooms, nice food and drink. Location could not be better. Staff were wonderful, friendly and chatty. We will be coming back. The only improvement we can suggest is for the doors to rooms to have soft closing mechanisms as the doors constantly slam shut.
