York Cove Hotel

Whilst the reception staff upon arrival where fantastic, we were advised of several access point closures meaning we had to cart luggage through the deck and dining room then up stairs. Quite difficult with luggage. Further, to leave we had to go an even longer way out with another flight of stairs as the reception and dining area is locked on Sundays. Luckily I was able to help my Mum with her luggage and weather was fine but very disappointed at the lack of up keep and access.

Large well appointed suite, comfortable bed, lounge and dining chairs. Very nice toiletries, towel warmer. Could do with a tea towel. Fan in bathroom wasn’t working but leaving the door open worked.

Georgeously appointed appartment in one of the more beautiful areas of this beautiful island. Impeccably furnished with views to die for.

We had booked The York Cove Hotel due to its close proximity to The Low Head Penguin Tour. The hotel appears to be 3 rooms below the Crazy Duck restaurant above. The room and bathroom were both massive, had a great king size bed, very quick WiFi and was quiet. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant which was very good. Would definitely recommend the York Cove Hotel.

We were met by really helpful and friendly staff who throughout our stay could not be faulted both in the hotel and the restaurant. The apartment was spacious with a huge bathroom. There were great views from the balcony over the river. Sadly though there were a few small things that need to be addressed by cleaning staff but I will contact management directly. Positively they are all things that can be easily rectified. The pool which we were looking forward to using was closed for the season which we didn’t know when we booked which was disappointing. After enjoying the restaurant Sunday we were told it was closed on Mondays, unfortunately. The restaurant was fabulous and accommodating of dietary requirements my wife had. I had the duck which was absolutely delicious. Service was great and views were brilliant. Room service was excellent too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt at home. The staff were fantastic and apartment was lovely aside from the tiny maintenance issues and we would certainly stay again.

York Cove is an unusual complex. We stayed in one of the deluxe hotel rooms and instead of a view of anything (at all) you look into a pool area set below the ground line. The apartment itself was gigantic, great bed, beautiful bathroom, it was just weird we could see nothing with such a great view just a couple of metres above us. Anywhere else, and with a view of anything at all, I'd say the room would be reasonably priced but not here, it's expensive. Restaurant was excellent. Had a terrific meal and of course had the duck. Really lovely staff. Beautiful looking out to the Tamar as the sun set.

We stayed here for two nights midweek, and may have been the only guests. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. The internal maintenance is good and probably done regularly. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The exterior certainly detracted from our stay. We sat on our balcony and noticed that the shade cloth was not properly secured and probably needs to be replaced. The pool’s condition was unacceptable and was green with algae and slime. The gardens around the pool were unkempt. The area around the pool and spa is not being maintained. This may not have been a problem if we didn’t have to access our room by walking through the pool area. It has a great location with pleasant views. Attention to detail would certainly lift the rating.

The property was nice only down side

Good location and setting
