We recently stayed at The Polurrion on the Lizard for 2 nights during spring school holidays. The staff was incredibly welcoming and the room was spacious with sea view. We enjoyed the variety of food, our evening time in the hotel lobby and the kids have definitely enjoyed the indoors swimming pool.
The location was perfect as the beach was 5 minutes walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cornwall.

What a lovely place! My partner and I arrived on Christmas Day & stayed for 3 nights & we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Wonderful scenic location.
Welcoming staff, clean rooms, fun live music, board games provided, delicious food & the massage in the spa was also great. The only thing we regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

It was lovely to be right on the South West coast path from the hotel door.
The staff are really friendly. The food was well cooked and the menu included pizzas.
We used the leisure centre but unfortunately not the outdoor pool as the weather was awful.
We will stay here again when we're in the area.
