Wonderful Escapism A treat away for my 50th birthday. Exceptional service throughout our stay from bar and restaurant staff, through to the lovely cleaning ladies. Made my stay very special, fabulous food both at the Pilchard Inn and the black tie dinner. Any little issues were dealt with straight away and am already looking for an excuse to go back again, oh and you must brave it and take a swim in the mermaid pool.

A birthday to remember

It was something that wife had wanted to do since she was a teenager. And now we both have, it is an iconic location with an amazing history and it has hosted some of the most famous people of the 20th century which include Winston Churchill to the Fab Four "The Beatles". It was everything we expected and for more.

This Hotel is worth the experience and whilst the building is showing its age, it remains and retains its unique 'Art Deco' concept. The Staff are excellent and food is top quality. If you want to 'get away from it all' give it try, there are no TV's!

Totally amazing. A true Art Deco experience. From parking the car, driven in the sea tractor, met at reception and shown into the Palm Bar with champagne. Simon made us feel very special as did all the staff. Can’t wait to come again

Wow what an amazing art deco hotel in an amazing location. The welcome was personal and warm. Nothing was too much trouble, every member of staff was so helpful. The food was great as well and I would not hesitate recommending a stay at this hotel. In addition it is a great example of art deco architecture as well as fixtures and fittings.

It's a truly unique location... being cut off by the tide twice a day on your own island. It's stunning. The attention to Art Deco is remarkable. It was spotlessly clean. The service is relaxed not over the top. The food was really good, not superb and perhaps not quite worth the price, but I get that you're paying for the location as much as anything. Love that the rooms don't have TVs to be authentic to the period. It's fun having the 4x4 transfer over the beach or the sea tractor through the waves. We'd go back again. It was really special for our anniversary

We loved the hotel, we thought the staff were friendly and helpful. Knocked a star off for the food, as an expensive meal that was very average. We pre ordered our wine in the bar for dinner but came half way through the main course, and we had to ask for it. Oysters were delicious and so was one of the puddings. At breakfast eggs were great but rest of food on plate was too salty to eat. So this just took edge off the whole experience.

Made to feel special from arrival - charming driver in Land Rover collected is from their car park to take us to the island ….welcome champagne ….delightful canopes before dinner …spoilt over breakfast and luggage taken to the sea tractor for return home when still charming man took our luggage up to the car park. It is a special place …years ago when I stayed I missed having a TV and I couldn’t get phone reception …but the WiFi now works so I could relax … It is a wonderful place to go to escape

The staff were effortlessly, smoothly friendly and professional and the surroundings were just beautiful. I liked that all the men were in their black tie suits at dinner-gave it a lovely vibe-and I thought I would feel underdressed but was also made to feel really comfortable. I would say my fish was a bit overcooked and the falafel canape was a little dry, but otherwise the food was delicious (the duck parfait was lovely) and the wine flight was well-thought out and worked with the dishes. The island itself and surrounding beach is just breathtaking and the room (Amy Johnson) was well-themed. Just missing some cups by the sink for toothbrushes ;-) But otherwise, just a brilliant stay.

This incredible Art Deco hotel has all the charm, elegance and tranquility you would expect of an exclusive hotel. From arriving at the parking garage to the turn down service, everything is perfectly balanced to give you a restful and enjoyable stay. The live band 'Art Deco Trio' were superb, their on theme style and music provided just the right level of ambiance and made the dance floor the place to be. The original art deco features and thees cocktails provide a unique experience - don't expect modern tech or multi channel TV, that's not why you go to this hotel. I must shout out the Chef, the food was superb whether you were eating breakfast, canapes before dinner of a light lunch, everything was beautifully presented and exquisite. Don't forget the sea tractor - what an experience! Highly recommend a stay here, for some well earned rest, pampering and a time travel back to the 1920 and 30s.

Burgh Island

Burgh Island was fabulous. The one complaint was re the dress code. We had called in advance to find out what we should wear and was told no jeans and trainers. During our stay other guests were wearing jeans and trainers both in the Nettlefold restaurant during dinner and breakfast. This was a special trip for us so we were disappointed to find there appeared to be a disregard for the dress code. We had stressed over what was appropriate for us to wear so seeing others in jeans and trainers was not good. We really enjoyed our meal in the Nettlefold restaurant and would have dined in there on the other two evenings but it only serves fish so limits choice. We ate in the Pilchard Inn where the food and service was excellent. We did have a great stay. Many thanks to the staff and especially Mr James for making our overall experience fantastic.
