Hotel terbaik di Lizard

This Review We found it impossible to record an accurate review rating for The Housel Bay Hotel and restaurant as the business consists of 2 completely different types of restaurant with different menus and names (see review below) and a hotel and the only way to accurately rate them is as individual entities. Namely: - The Fallowfield restaurant - 5 stars The Terrace restaurant - 3.5 stars The Hotel and associated facilities - 2 Stars Overview We were looking forward to our first ever Christmas away from home and, based on the hotel website, were expecting a memorable experience. The website made it clear that dogs would only be allowed in “Family Rooms” which all had bunk beds so we were expecting a spacious environment for our 9-night stay. The road down to the hotel from the village is quite rough so a slow approach was needed however that allowed us to take in the spectacular view. The hotel sits right on the Southwest Coastal Path which can be accessed through gates from the hotel gardens. It provides some exceptional scenery if you are willing to venture along it. The Lizard lighthouse sits prominently on the hill to the right and we did see seals on the rocks below later during our stay. It is worth noting that the lighthouse beams track across the hotel every 3 to 4 seconds and the foghorn sounds repeatedly when visibility is poor - day and night. It was audible from our bedroom and earplugs are available from reception if required. The staff explained that the hotel lift was old and they limited the maximum number allowed in at any one time to two people, without suitcases or one person with one suitcase so getting installed into our room on the second floor was a lengthy process. Whilst we adhered to the limits, we still found ourselves being trapped in the lift on a few occasions and had to be rescued. We were advised that a refurbishment programme was to take place in early 2025 that would include fixing the lift amongst other things. For a building of this age and being exposed to the coastal elements there must always be maintenance issues to address The hotel had a free Wi-Fi network that worked well for us and we thought that a bowl of fresh clementines sitting on the reception desk, for guests to help themselves to, was a nice touch. The overall appearance of the interior of the hotel was very good and felt quite homely. Food The food was one of the memorable aspects of our stay. It is sourced locally and there is a list of suppliers provided. There are 2 restaurants here. One, Fallowfield’s, the signature restaurant for fine dining and the other, The Terrace, with great views onto the coastline below, for their standard menu. Breakfast is also served in The Terrace. Fallowfield’s offers 2 versions of a taster menu with paired wine options available. It is exceptionally good!! Joseph, the head chef, and his team produced some superb taste experiences and Alex, the sommelier, delivered great service with superb attention to

Used a voucher that we had to book a 2 night stay with breakfast plus dinner on the first night ( you get an allowance towards your dinner cost which at the time was £27.50 each which covered the 2 course set menu). We paid a little extra for a seaview which was well worth it. The room was a good size with a good size en suite, plenty of sockets all with usb’s the bed was nice and comfortable. All the staff we encountered were very polite and were able to answer any questions I had. Food in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast was superb. We did not use the spa facilities so don’t know what they are like but would certainly look to stay here again sometime in the future

We went here for lunch after visiting the seal sanctuary, and were very impressed with the pub, staff and food. The roast dinner is definitely recommended....in fact it was one of the best we've ever had ! Plenty of meat and many different vegetables, all piping hot. Very reasonable price and excellent value for money. We will definitely return! Special mention to Riley, a very friendly and attentive young man.
