A really fantastic position, The Lugger is a great hotel, with super rooms and friendly staff. Only downside WIFI not good and menu and wine list, somewhat uninspiring. But still very much worth a visit!

Beautiful location. Lovely staff, delicious breakfast. Clean comfy rooms. Something to note is Uber or similar services are not permitted in the area. We needed a taxi to Truro and all local firms were booked so had to drive. We’d already had a drink in the bar before we realised this, thankfully not enough to be unable to drive but if we had that would have ruined our plans. Also worth mentioning is that a 25 min taxi ride when we got one the following day was £50. We will return to The Lugger but just to enjoy the hotel and immediate location, not when needing to venture away.

Beautiful location

Gorgeous location and room. Breakfast was amazing. The only thing I would recommend is to email guests before the stay to book a table for food as couldn’t eat there which was shame. However the pub up the lane was amazing.

Cornwall short relaxing break.

Very nice room and clean towels every day. Liked having the little fridge for fresh milk and water. Staff were friendly and helpful.Meals were very good and plenty of choice. The area was beautiful for scenery and walking which we enjoyed. Would love to return oneday in the future.

The staff was wonderful. The restaurant manager shared suggestions for sightseeing the first day we were there. It was a wonderful day and one we never would have come up with on our own. Everyone we encountered at the Lugger seemed genuinely interested us and sharing their love of Cornwall with us.

Lovely hotel,great location, bed not all that

A small and friendly hotel, set in a rural, coastal position , away from it all. Old building tastefully redecorated , room was nice with a decent bathroom. Excellent view of the coastal inlet. Caught a glimpse of the local fisherman launching and returning in the morning , right under our window Only negative was the bed, for such a highly priced room, I would expect bigger and better comfort - breakfast was ok

Great for walking but not 5*

Although rated as a 5 star I struggle to see how. Hotel is in a stunning location, there is nothing around it but coast path which was fine for us as that is what we wanted but might put others off. Hotel looked tired in lots of areas, the communal areas seems unkempt and a little grubby, little things around that shouldn’t be such as the half eaten sandwich left outside our room was a good example. Looks like it needs an update for sure, lots of chipping paint and a grubby carpets. It’s not made clear that if you have a terrace room it’s a shared terrace with a few other rooms so didn’t feel at all private, especially as this is also on the road into the hotel too. The shower was dreadfully weak, cracked tiles in the bathroom floor and just looking tired, could hear everything the room upstairs was doing, especially their alarm at 6:30 in the morning…. No robes as stated, pillows are very uncomfortable and hard. Overall it was just ok. We didn’t eat in the restaurant in then end, mainly as it was Easter Sunday and apparently the chef hadn’t done the menu even up to the night before but then it turned out to be the same as the other nights so that was confusing. Breakfast was ok but small. This place could be amazing with a few tweaks and a good general manager with some attention to detail but sadly lacking in my eyes.

Fantastisk ophold på fem dage. Vi nød at have egen terrasse med udsigt over vandet. Det kan klart anbefales. Super søde hotelansatte og rigtig dejlig mad i restauranten. Den eneste ulempe var den smalle vej igennem Portloe.
