Mount View Hotel B&B

Mount View Hotel B&B

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely welcome from the proprietor. Breakfast was amazing and offered a great choice. Staff all lovely, especially the proprietor, breakfast lady and housekeeper. Very comfy bed and toiletries, hairdryer provided. Only slight annoyance was that my room (5?) was next to a bathroom, for the use of guests in another room (4?). They used it late at night and left the light on, which triggered the extractor, making an annoying noise which disturbed my sleep. Not the hotelier’s fault, but maybe a sign could go up asking politely for the light to be switched off when bathroom not in use? All else was perfect though"

"Our holiday with my daughter as she celebrated her 18th birthday was brilliant, however I have a few disappointed during our staying in caravan, the caravan was nice, a wide area good atmosphere an so-rounding, the concern is the toilet there is no caddy soap, no rug on the floor, no WiFi. No free towels. But a part from that I love Cornwall, I will coming back again on the summer time next year."
