Really nice hotel, that has very friendly staff, nice spa/pool area and good food. We stayed in room 125/126 which is interconnecting rooms and great for families. It was a little wet and cold (March time) and so we didn’t get to use any facilities outside but they looked nice. It’s very close to Eden Project (8 min drive) so perfect if you visiting and looking for somewhere close to say. My children said it was “the best stay ever” so think they approve!

The Carlyon Bay is beautifully situated on the cliff top close to walks and beaches with the rest of Cornwall easily accessible. The hotel is spotless with all staff friendly and helpful. The food and wine, whether breakfast, dinner or a snack in between, is superb while the rooms are very comfortable with everything needed for short or longer stays. On more energetic days there is golf, tennis, swimming pools and the Spa, or a short but rugged cliff top walk to the beautiful Charlestown.

Golf trip to Cornwall during the wettest winter in 130 years was made tolerable by having the hotel as our base. Rooms are clean, comfortable and cosy, the food offering first class and without exception the staff were open, friendly and super helpful. How could anyone wish for more?

We stayed at this hotel for a one night spa break to get away after a stressful few weeks. Everything about the hotel was amazing the staff were fabulous. The facilities were great we used the spa for three hours included in our price, and the food exceeded our expectations. We have booked to go back again and would definitely recommend this hotel.

I have been lucky enough to come to The Carlyon Bay multiple times and it is one of mine and my families favourite hotels. The quality of the hotel shines through from the wonderful crisp linen through to the excellent service you receive from all the staff. The menu is extensive and varied and the spa is dreamy - go you won’t regret it

For me, a stay at Carlyon Bay Hotel is one of the highlights of my year. Wonderful location, amazing food - delicious and beauifully presented, cheerful and caring staff, the height of comfort. The golf course is good and not too challenging, and the clubhouse is comfortable and also serves great food.

Great hotel in a wonderful location. Felt like a modern hotel had been transported back to a time when customer service really mattered. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It seemed important to them that i enjoyed my stay and was comfortable.

This is a superb hotel. The staff and facilities are all first class and we always feel very at home whenever we return. We really enjoy the spa facilities with first class treatments and a very well equipped gym. The evening dining experience is very good with a nice variety of quality food and professional service. The breakfasts are really exceptional with a great choice of cold, buffet and freshly cooked options. We look forward to returning and exploring more of Cornwall’s delights.

This is our 7th visit to stay at Carlyon Bay and we'll definitely be returning. It's such a welcoming place to stay, everyone is so friendly, there is a lovely golf course on hand if you play, the food is always lovely and the staff can't do enough for you. The facilities really are top notch. Even though the weather this time was a little iffy, it didn't spoil our stay as we used the gym and the pool facilities, and the location means that there are lots of fabulous places to visit in beautiful Cornwall whatever the weather. We'll definitely be back again later this year for another visit.
