Das professionelle Team, geschmackvolle Inneneinrichtung, kulinarisch hochwertiges Essen, der Ausblick vom Speisseraum, seperater Speiseraum für Gäste mit Hunde, Parkplätze unmittelbar vorm Haus
The style they serve at the table for room guests is cool,respectful and posh. Can't find any words to complain about the view. Excellent scenery and sea view from your own room and breakfast room. The rooms are unique and the beds are comfortable,clean and quiet. The stay made me feel like I was living in my own house. Only one bad thing about the room, no hair dryer provided.
1. Provide hair dryers for guests. 2. Extend restaurant opening hours.
Il personale è stato molto accogliente, la struttura si trova in ottima posizione con una bella vista mare. Atmosfera molto rilassante.
Beautiful setting, friendly staff.
Early breakfast sitting, finishes at 9am
Excellent
All great
Une excellente adresse : calme et vue ! Sur un trip d’une vingtaine d’hôtels en Galles et Cornouailles en 5 semaines en Angleterre, un de nos meilleurs logements ! Ambiance cosy, familiale et de très bonne tenue. Grande vue dégagée sur la Falmouth baie. Le chemin étriqué pour y parvenir se mérite certes. Chambres propres et spacieuses. Service aimable et efficace, avec le sourire de la famille propriétaire et surtout du personnel aux repas. Petits déjeuners soignés ‘aux petits oignons’ et à la demande. Repas du soir possibles de jolie qualité épargnant les kilomètres vers un autre établissement. Que demander de mieux dans une concurrence souvent très basique sur cette côte hyper-touristique ? On recommande cet endroit à 100 % pour la qualité générale de ses prestations avec son excellent rapport qualité-prix. Précisons qu’en général, nous sommes très exigeants tant sur l’ensemble d’un service acheté que sur tous les détails

The view: the room was in front of the sea. it's a perfect place to rest and enjoy the nature.
More info at the check in - how to visit the area can be an easy improvement.
Clean, friendly staff, excellent food, sea view from bedroom

Comfortable and great breakfast
Shower in room two a bit feeble
Room with a view, breakfasts made to order (night before), evening meals not available unless booked in advance
The hotel is very comfortable, with friendly staff, a nice room, and good food.
This hotel is located a few miles outside Falmouth, near the village of Mawnan Smith, and public transportation is difficult, so I had to take a taxi a few times. Walking to the village center at night is too scary due to the narrow road and traffic. Yet this hotel is much, much more pleasant than Falmouth's Merchants Manor House Hotel, where I had a terrible experience.
There was a problem with the room we booked, so we were immediately upgraded to another one with the most amazing sea views, which was appreciated. The hotel is in a great position, a short walk from a fabulous beach. It is well-appointed, beautifully decorated and very comfortable but still retains a family-run vibe, that makes you feel at ease the moment you arrive. All staff we met were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent, and they were more than happy to cater for my wife's dietary requirements. The fact that it is also dog-friendly was good for us (as we had our little dog in tow), but having a separate area for those dining with dogs is a great idea. We may have a dog but certainly don't expect those who don't to spend any time with it - especially when eating! We were unable to use the hotel restaurant in the evening as the chef was indisposed, so booked into "The Cove" restaurant down on the beach, which was a great experience. Overall, I can easily see why Trelawne gets such excellent reviews. We (sadly) only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again.
Excellent staff Food of the highest quality
Excellent service from staff great breakfast and overall good ambiance
Only issue is getting to hotel nbut that’s nothing to do with them
Lovely breakfast in a very nice breakfast room. Nice to have some communication with the lovely breakfast serving team after initially arriving to pre-ordered food laid out ready.
I understand how it helps the hotel to have pre-ordered breakfasts, but I, personally, don't like this. I feel it does not give a personal touch, to fill in a paper form the night before. You don't always know what you feel like eating until the morning, and it feels more personal to be greeted warmly when arriving down for breakfast. I have no problem with choosing a time slot for breakfast. I very recently stayed at Haytor Hotel, Torquay - they have a similar number of rooms, I believe. They serve an outstanding breakfast every day without pre-ordering. It is one of the features that draws me to them. There is immediate human contact when arriving in the breakfast room, rather than arriving to food already laid out and looking for your own table. It feels a little more personal, and slightly less institutional.
Beautiful views, very calming atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent

Peaceful, close to beach, very nice staff

Very friendly hotel all the staff were lovely as was the co owner we met. Lovely room overlooking the garden and sea, well decorated and comfortable large bed. Good breakfast order submitted the day b4. Dog friendly with separate dining in the lounge bar.
Evening meal a bit pricey.
Beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated. Spotlessly clean. Quiet and beautiful location.
It was quite hot in the room.
Delicious breakfast, high quality bed, easy parking
2;30pm check-in was great. The staff were very kind and friendly. The property was charming, very clean and well maintained. The food was excellent.
Extremely welcoming and homely hotel. Spotlessly clean and tidy .
Nothing it was all good . Was unfortunate there was no chef for an evening meal but we knew in advance so it wasn't an issue to us.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, on site restaurant a bonus, and great location for walking Southwest Coastal Path
The hotel is beautiful, you can tell it is newly refurbished. We had a very warm welcome from the staff.
The pillows we lumpy and uncomfortable
Breakfast very good Location was lovely Well managed hotel.
The weather was not favourable. As we are over 80, a lift would have helped. We were generally happy with the hotel.
Great breakfast. Super location.
Dinner menu could have a little more choice.
A lovely location with amazing views across the sea & coastline. Our room was excellent with lots of space & well equipped.
Staff cheerful and friendly. Food couldn't be better.. Great views. Room comfortable
To pick holes, could have had some different local ales in the bar
Nice location with sea view. Cleans and tidy.
Nothing.
Lovely room with splendid sea view. Good choice for breakfast but food was not always piping hot as we prefer it to be. The lounge was comfortable for pre dinner drinks and after meal relaxation.
We were very happy with our stay and the hotel was ideally placed for sightseeing.
Nothing
This is a small family run hotel, very friendly, very comfortable, the staff are brilliant and the food is fantastic. It is like staying with your best friends but without the hassle! The sea view room has a great view, and the breakfast is cooked fresh for you. Only had one evening meal this stay, but have eaten here before, always a good choice on the menu, and a good variety of drinks and wines in the restaurant and the bar.
There is nothing not to like!
The food was outstanding. Menu quite limited though. Views incredible from the back of the hotel. Rooms were modern and freshly renovated. Small but I everything I needed.
The communal areas were very old fashioned in their decor. There were signs all over the place with far too aggressive instructions for guests. It felt like I was being told off all the time. The staff were mixed but tried their best I think. WiFi had been broken for a few days but I had not been informed ahead of my stay. Had I been, I would have booked elsewhere. This is a basic now, guests should have been told. I was annoyed by this, but the person who checked me in didn’t seem bothered. They also complained about a sore knee while carrying my luggage upstairs - made me feel very awkward. Shower was terrible - flipping between very hot and ice cold.
It was everything we hoped. Beautiful position with sea views very quiet. Made the dogs very welcome. Food was delicious.

Poor WiFi
Alles naar wens
Niets
The value for money was poor as the facilties were much less than expected and for the price paid, in addition to the far distance to centre also the Internet was not working for the first day and a half.
Less than friendly and distance
Sehr komfortables und ungewöhnlich sauberes und professionell geführtes Hotel mit stets extrem freundlichem Personal. Beim Frühstück bleiben keine Wünsche offen und das Abendessen, sofern man einen Tisch reserviert hat, hat Sterne-Niveau. Auf dem ganzen Costal Path habe ich keine vergleichbar gute Unterkunft gefunden. Vielen Dank!
Alles Bestens. Very British. Qualität der Speisen ist sehr gut. Sehr ruhig gelegenes Hotel. Eignet sich für ausgedehnte Spaziergänge / Wanderungen ab der Haustüre, oder für "Car-Crossing" in die Umgebung. Nichts für laute Party's.
Personal - Lage - Atmosphäre - Garten
Excellent hotel but location is not so good for coastal path walking
No direct route from path . Pass through gardens of hotel below to reach road to this hotel
Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Very quiet. Breakfast was exceptional .Amazing views.
Great location. Our room was compact, pristine, and well-designed with a view of the sea. Breakfast was delicious, including plant-based items to accommodate our vegan preferences. We loved sitting outdoors on the lawn in the late afternoon with beverages from the bar. Staff shared tips on historical tin mines to explore nearby.
No issues.
Sauber und gepflegt. Top Frühstück. Schöne Aussicht. Bei buchung Zimmer zur Meerseite nehmen.

A little bit ‘dated’ in places
The staff were very friendly, the peaceful location, very comfortable bed! Breakfast was amazing!
The neighbour was quite noisy early in the morning
Great room decor, friendly helpful staff, fantastic breakfast and great ordering system.
Toilet not quite clean, empty biscuit packet in mug on tray. Toiletries lovely touch but my personal preference would be for local products rather than scottish however none of this affected my stay.
View was amazing. Lovely breakfast with a good range of options. Really friendly and attentive staff. Rooms are comfortable and the whole place is very keen. We did not eat dinner there, but apparently from other guests its brillinat. Nice and quite hotel. Great little breach only 5min drive away.
Hôtel avec beaucoup de charme avec vue mer. Personnel très accueillant. Restauration autant petit déjeuner que dîner parfaite
The warm welcome of the staff throughout the stay. The property itself is beautiful.
Süßes kleines typisch englisches Hotelchen. Die Lage war wundervoll - man kann direkt vom Hotel am idyllischen Coast Path wandern und der nächste Strand ist nicht weit entfernt. Die Zimmer waren putzig gestaltet und das Frühstück war toll (man kann am Abend vorher auswählen was man möchte) Die Hoteliers sind sehr nett und geben gute Tipps was man unternehmen kann.
Es ist etwas hellhörig
Decor was quirky and coastal, setting was lovely and peaceful with some sea views. Staff were great. Fab bed!
Shower was hot, but a trickle. Staff agreed it needed a booster pump.
Lovely helpful staff, rooms well kept. Breakfast and evening menu had enough choice and were well prepared. Plenty to do in the area and a nice garden too.
Excellent food, helpful and prompt service, fine sea view from the room.
They required a damage bond which was unexpected and rather steep (though I was assured that it would not be taken if there was no damage
Our room was lovely. It was spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed. Amazing views.
Couldn’t want for better
Everything!... another perfect stay
Superb cleanliness and breakfast. Great view from room. Attentive staff. Later checkout.
Latest breakfast could be on a Sunday was 9am. Electric vehicle charger doesn't work.
Sea view room. Breakfast was great
Trelawne Hotel is a high quality establishment with a very gracious atmosphere, yet most welcoming and friendly. The location is peaceful with pleasant views, yet convenient for beaches and Falmouth. The staff were most obliging and thoughtful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
All was good.
All clean, loveky room and staff, easy parking..
Na
the restaurant very good meal all was great nice place and very friendly
nothing all was good
Excellent breakfast included. Evening meals changing daily and a good range of wines. Rooms are very comfortable; we had a sea view which was good on clear days.
Nothing, the family have got things exactly right.
Zimmer mit seaview war toll, ebenso der Garten Räumlichkeiten eher konservativ eingerichtet..
Zimmer, Bad war sauber, jedoch bei offenem Fenster sah man die stark verschmutzten Fensterrahmen... Parkplatz nicht immer frei... Frühstückssituation war etwas kompliziert-man musste jeweils am Vorabend einen Zettel ausfüllen und an der Rezeption ablegen -Buffetform wäre viel einfacher und besser...
Staff team professional and attentive with just the right amount of friendliness Immaculately clean rooms Great breakfast! Beautiful surroundings
Lovely hotel, friendly professional staff. Excellent breakfast and like pre order of breakfast for next day. Dog friendly rooms available as well as dog friendly dining. Room was well equipped as well as offering dog towels. Great location and views were superb. On site parking was excellent.
Toilet flush was very challenging in Room 4. Not easy to work and someone older may have had difficulty in getting the toilet to flush.
Very friendly staff and great location.

Friendly people, unpretentious hotel, perfect for us, good food.

Breakfast excellent - plenty of great choices. View from one window very restful with partial sea view, other window not so much as over car park. Room was value for money.
For the price, nothing.
