Llawnroc Hotel - peaceful & enjoyable stay
A few days away for a special birthday and it was indeed special. Really well appointed room with balcony (morning suntrap) and sea view. Very friendly and helpful staff with special mention to Jo and Lisa who went out of their way to help us. Excellent breakfast. Only one disappointment was that the restaurant was closed. However would thoroughly recommend staying at this hotel and visiting the small village of Gorran Haven which has an amazing community spirit with volunteers running a local bus service or manning the fabulous coastal path cafe.

llawnroc poor
pretentious and overpriced. Food was microwaved chilli with rock hard rice. Details were sent in advance but had to provide again at check in. 1 person attending bar, serving in restaurant and doing reception. for the price per night charge this was very poor.

Hotel is nice and clean, Queen bed room was spacious, lovely seaside views, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was good but the menu was a bit traditional and could have done with more options such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc. Gorran Haven is a beautiful spot, beautiful surroundings, just be prepared for very narrow roads around the village but the hotel car park has plenty of room.

Lovely staff but not a luxury hotel. 3 star would be more accurate. Bar is a sports bar with football on large tvs, lounge is a sparse and make-do area, only one towel each, no toiletries in room on arrival, air-con not working etc. Food offer nothing special at all.

Great hotel well recommended
Hotel fantastic, staff fantastic and great service. I would 100% stay there again. Constructive feedback would be the bedrooms and bathrooms need an update. Bit more furniture in the larger room would have been nice (Coffee table & comfy chairs) otherwise you're just sitting on the bed all the time, easy fix.

A gem of a hotel and location with great staff / Megan and lovely breakfast lady (Debbie? sorry if wrong!) who helped my wife work out where her past relatives lived. New owner and his dogs very friendly too.

What a great time we had staying at the Llawnroc! The staff could not have been more welcoming and nothing was too much trouble! The General Manager, Alan, in particular was an excellent host and made us feel very special. We had a lovely spacious bedroom, cleanliness and hygiene were excellent. We were so Impressed, we booked another stay later in the year.

Lovely welcome and Harry was extremely helpful. Superb view over the cove. Dinner and breakfast delicious (altho we asked for items to be omitted at breakfast but still got them!). Hanging space in small cupboard very small but we were only there 1 night (sadly) so wasn’t too much of an issue.

The Llawnroc Hotel is a gem. Situated in a small village on the coast it is a better than 4* hotel with very comfortable rooms and very good quality dining facilities. Staff are all very friendly, helpful and relaxed. I ate dinner there twice and the food was excellent. Breakfasts consisted of both cold buffet items and hot dishes cooked to order. The hotel caters for both vegetarian and vegan diets. My room was large and had all modern conveniences including air-con, safe and fridge. The town of Gorran Haven has a few small beaches and only a small number of shops and other facilities. However it is very pretty and offers lots of walking options. It is also well situated for access to the main Cornish tourist locations. I loved my stay at the Llawnroc and would happily return there.

Wonderful place
This place was in the middle of nowhere so starting to get worried. We walked in the doors and immediately were amazed. We arrived after the restuarant had closed down and were starving. The gentleman who checked us in checked with the chef and he said no problem, they would make us something & bring to our room. That is exactly what they did. The food there was amazing and the staff was super friendly and they all went above and beyond to help us along the way.

Just spent 5 nights at this hotel. Lovely sea view with modern clean room and very comfy bed. Food at hotel was lovely both breakfast and evening meals which were not too expensive. Goran haven is a very pretty little harbour resort with quaint cottages and little church. Steep hill down to it though which is fine if you dont have any mobility issues.

Great night’s sleep, lovely hotel …
We spent the first night of our honeymoon at the Llawnroc before heading to the Scillys - the hotel is lovely! The decor is stylish, the bar area and restaurant very comfortable and the room plush. We were very happy with our stay, had a good night’s sleep and there were some lovely touches such as robes in the bathroom and lovely local fudge. The service was ok - seemed a little under staffed although the hotel wasn’t particularly busy. We chose this hotel due to great reviews of their restaurant but we received a call a day or two before our stay to advise the restaurant wasn’t open for evening meals but there were restaurants a few miles away and taxis available. When we got there we were told taxis are hard to get as they come from St Austell so instead of heading out we wandered down to the quay and had a couple of drinks in a little bar opposite the fish n chips shop and then had said fish n chips and a glass of wine (they have a little restaurant at the front). We were thankful for this as otherwise without getting back in the car our options were very limited. We would stay again and hope they can re-open the restaurant soon though.

Ideal for a quiet and peaceful get-away.
Great position and views, the road was quite a steep climb down and back to the Beach/Harbour. Very peaceful which was just what we were looking for. Excellent service from a very friendly and welcoming staff.

Seaview with being on view
Had room seaview although this was the case it overlooked hotel pub garden (as they all do )so you had to have curtains pulled across for privacy and was very noisy until closing time so didn’t get to see much view without being on view . Also shower was in bath which is quite high and there is no support rail so made it very hard getting in and out of . Cleaning of hotel has gone downhill-since here 5 years ago as has service in restaurant and breakfast along with menus short staffed I believed was the reason but I also hate being called ‘guys’everytime addressed we are retired and clearly not guys this seems to be normal among young staff nowadays and think it needs to addressed and couples especially addressed correctly .

Lovely hotel in a super position overlooking the village and sea. Upgrade to sea view essential or a view if the car park! Rear of hotel a bit grubby. Breakfast excellent, dinner not so good, had to send meals back as they were overcooked. Room clean and tidy, noisy refrigerator. Overall very good but not “superb”.
