    Occasional smell of cigarette smoke wafting up from somewhere outside bedroom window in Room 5.

    The location is great for taking walks all around Bude and for easy beach access. Elements restaurants is also excellent, we enjoyed breakfasts and a dinner there.

    The room was in need of limited service, e.g. the shower controls were loose and the cubicle leaked so water sprayed on to the floor each time it was used. The residents should be informed that the bar/restaurant is not part of the hotel business so not given the option of a room tab, also, not offered a discount on purchases made in the bar.

    The staff were very pleasant & friendly. Bed was very comfortable!. Bar/restaurant was very nice and had excellent views overlooking the beach.

    The receptionist was on the phone for ten minutes while we were waiting to check in and didn’t even acknowledge us. There was a dirty towel left in our bathroom which smelled of cigarette smoke. More attention to detail/ staff training needed.

    Comfortable hotel in a great seaside location. Stylish room with good bathroom and very comfortable bed. Great breakfast with attentive staff. Great sea views. Good selection of teas and biscuits in room. Would stay again.

    Great location overlooking Summerleaze Beach. Lovely views and walks nearby although hilly. There is parking and we were fine but I would imagine at times, it could be hard to find a spot. Rooms were very well appointed but if you can afford it, go for a sea view room. We ate in the hotel restaurant, the food was very good and reasonably priced, it gets busy though so I would recommend booking. All in all, a very nice hotel.

    Some of the décor was a little tired, threadbare sections on the stair carpet for example. In general I wouldn't describe it as luxurious considering the price paid; I stayed at another place afterward in Cornwall at 2/5 of the price which was pretty similar in standard. I have stayed in luxurious places but this isn't one of them. There were few car parking spaces (3, 2 of them occupied by cars which didn't move the entire time we were there) and the roadside parking was usually full, so each time we went out there was anxiety about whether we would find anywhere to park when we got back. There was nothing particularly wrong, I enjoyed my stay, but was expecting something more special.

    The location was really good overlooking the bay

    The hotel is well kept with clean, spacious rooms with everything you need. Little details were thought of to make you feel welcomed and well looked after. We went on our first family holiday as a 4 with our new born baby and 4 year old. Facilities for the baby were top and they were engaging with our 4 year old. We’ve gone away before when young children haven’t been acknowledged. It was small things like setting up child friendly plates and utterly at breakfast as well as tweaking the breakfast menu for him. Location is brilliant. We’ll 100% be back again!

    No complaints at all!

    We stayed in The Suite which was a perfect combination for our family. All of the staff, from reception to the housekeeping and throughout the restaurant were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, lovely breakfasts with lots of choice and superb service and meals in the evening.
