Housel Bay Hotel

A totally fantastic experience. All staff were so warm, helpful and welcoming. I’m particular Alexander, the wine expert. This young man was exceptional. He knew his wine. The tasting menu is a treat for your taste buds, such a clever menu. The view from our room was just breathtaking and beautiful walks. We left happy and relaxed. Well done all at Housel Bay Hotel.

Fabulous Sunday Lunch. Wonderful service fantastic food. All 3 courses were delicious. The beef melted in your mouth, the roast potatoes well crispy and fluffy in the middle. The Yorkshire puddings were large and full of delicious gravy.

Stunning hotel right on the cliffs, close to the Lizard peninsula. Super friendly staff, went out of their way to help. Food was great, views are awesome. I had a room at the back, so no view, but it was very good value. The room and bathrooms are modern with nice linen.

We were not staying at the hotel but went there for dinner. The service and the food was outstanding. Wonderful choices on the menu and staff were very attentive and friendly. We ate in the Terrace Restaurant and upon arrival I was a little disappointed with the ‘“basic look” of the room. The table that we were sat in was also chipped around the edges which made it feel a little “cheap”. And it was a bit cold in the room. I feel that a little TLC to this restaurant could make a huge difference and make it more welcoming. This would align it with the superb quality of the food and service for me. A few more textiles, or flowers in this room would make it more appealing for sure during the colder months.

We arrived at Truro station and pre booked a taxi with Spikes at a cost of £85 for the 40 Minute ride to the Hotel. Check in was swift and we were welcomed by a friendly receptionist. The newly re furnished room had shower room . Fluffy white towels and tea tray that included local coffee and tea produce. The icing on the cake was the panoramic views from the window overlooking Housel Bay and the lighthouse. Breakfast had a wide choice that Included the full Cornish special. Delicious local sausages and bacon with perfect poached eggs. There was a daily smoothie on offer which was a nice addition. All served by cheery staff. We enjoyed the sunshine in the extensive gardens that had seating overlooking the bay. The hotel started a new spring menu in The Terrace and we tried the mussels for lunch Delicious. ! The Hotel has a tasting menu on a Friday and Saturday in the Fallowfields restaurant. This is thoroughly recommended . Chef Joseph devised a tantalising menu to get the taste buds working. The sommelier Alex was very Knowledgeable and helped made the evening a memorable experience. A car would be a necessity to explore the local area. We will return for the ****** Mystery weekend.

We had booked one of the panoramic rooms as a treat for our anniversary. We were disappointed to find how the scaffolding was restricting the view from our room. There was no other panoramic room available and there should have been a reduction in cost for the compromised view. The food was very good and the chef dealt well with our dietary constraints. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is very good - we had walked past a number of times and thought to stay there. The terrace restaurant feels more like a cafe (aside from the food) and our room needed some attention and smartening up (the bathroom had been recently renovated though)
