Top Holywell Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only

Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"The room was excellent the bathroom a little tired with no separate shower. There was no hot water on one of the mornings. The view from the room/balcony was stunning. The continental breakfast was good although there were no warm croissants. The cooked breakfasts were not very freshly cooked, especially the scrambled eggs and bacon. The Bay Bar staff were very pleasant and the food excellent. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it and would stay there again."

"We had a Two Night stay which was very enjoyable. The Hotel is very clean and tidy, the Staff were Excellent and overall it served our needs, the only downside (if you can call it that) is the lack of Parking when there are events on and the cost for not a guaranteed space"

Luxury beach front 7 bed home on Pentire Headland with spectacular coastal views

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying at Seapoint, a beautifully appointed modern property with stunning views over Crantock Beach and the Gannel. Each of its 7 bedrooms is ensuite and has its own balcony and views. The property was clean, and well designed to allow our guests space to enjoy on their own or with the rest of the group. Despite being a large property, it still had a homely feeling, full of natural light. The kitchen, dining and lounge area had a great entertainment system, with speakers outside as well as inside, and whilst we didn't use it during our stay, there is a games room on the upper level. We particularly enjoyed using the hot tub and heated pool during our stay.Anne was a thoughtful, helpful and attentive host, ensuring we had all the information we needed at each stage. Check in and check out were efficient, with clear and comprehensive guidelines given. The EV charger on the property was a very useful addition with easy parking space for 5 or more cars.We would highly recommend this property and hope very much to return in the future."
