“This hotel's clifftop perch provides the real draw, with views of St Austell Bay. I found the prospect of unwinding with live jazz at the bar, overlooking the beach, particularly appealing. It's a comfortable base for exploring nearby attractions like the Eden Project, though some aspects could use an update.”
