As a business traveller and some one who also enjoys a personal break away as well, I have been fortunate enough to stay in a variety of good quality hotels in the UK and US. This hotel is particularly good. It seems to combine the high standards expected from a 4 star hotel but with an ambience that makes your... More

Stayed at the Carlyon Bay Hotel from 30th April for 3nights as it was my husbands birthday on the 2nd of May. Just want to say a big thank you to all the staff who made our stay so special. We had a wonderful sea view room. The food was fine dining every night and the staff were very attentive.... More

Carlyon Bay Hotel has everything you need for a relaxing break. I booked this after a fairly stressful few months and unlike many hotels that promise luxury, this one delivers. I arranged dinner bed and breakfast including golf and extended my stay because the staff, room and quality of service made me wish i'd booked a longer break. Other guests... More

A really nice hotel and location which we very much enjoyed until breakfast time. Despite paying £300 for dinner bed and breakfast, we were disappointed to be told by the head waiter that we could not have a window seat at breakfast as those seats are "reserved for people staying in deluxe rooms". This was despite arriving for breakfast shortly... More

We stayed for a weekend at this hotel and were very impressed with all aspects. The room had plenty of space for clothes, the bed was very comfortable and the view lovely. The food was excellent and the service in the two restaurants was impressive, as indeed was the service generally. The swimming pool was very good and, although neither... More

We have just stayed for two nights in this hotel. On approach it looks a bit drab but the doorman complete with hat coming out to the car park to assist with luggage soon reassures. We were visiting family so didn't eat here or use the spa. But on check in we found our room was on the first floor... More

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Worth paying the extra for a deluxe sea facing room however beware if you have a first floor room (especially 107) on a Friday or Saturday that the evening entertainment is just below and is very loud. Good choice of restaurants, food is well presented and tasty, excellent service and rooms very clean... More

Nice rooms, comfortable beds, spotless, great views all make this a nice place to stay. Reception staff not over- helpful and a request for a few postcards of the hotel to send to friends was refused unless I paid for them! Don,t think they realise the importance of customer service and free publicity in the digital age! Nice golf course... More

We spent 3 nights at the carlyon bay hotel as a birthday and anniversary treat. Upgraded to a sea view room which was really lovely with views across to the gribben and rope haven. The effort of the walk up to the gribben from menabilly is worth the trek even in extremely windy conditions! Back at the hotel the staff... More
