We just stayed here on a short honeymoon trip around Cornwall. What an amazing place, and as one previous reviewer had pointed out, an eclectic haven and definitely not your run of the mill hotel. The views are absolutely amazing, the welcome warm and the food excellent. Alfred, the owner made every effort to make sure we had a great... More

Another great stay at The Housel Hotel, Housel Bay. Front facing room this time with beautiful view. 2 blinds plus curtains meant that lighthouse beam was not distracting at night. Excellent food although the menu was the same most nights. Very helpful, friendly staff. Breakfast not until 8:30 but we soon got used to having a lie in!

We spent four days here at the end of November. Had a sea facing room, which had all that you wanted including an ironing board. The view was terrific sun rise and sun sets were spectacular. Food was excellent as was the service.. . We were lucky enough to see two choughs at Kynance cove. Lots of places to discover... More

We went there for an organised Christmas lunch yesterday, 2nd December 2012, and it was stunning. Food was gourmet standard, very reasonably priced, and the most amazing views. I would recommend this hotel for its food alone. We did not see the rooms.

Without doubt, one of the most impressive views of a hotel I've stayed in. Perched on the edge of a cliff, with a view of the lighthouse on Lizard point, the hotel couldn't be better situated. While slightly outdated in its decor, the reception from staff was hugely friendly and accommodating. Food in the restaurant was also very good quality.... More

This was our groups third visit to this eclectic special hotel. Once again we werent disappointed. Great food with an outstanding vegetarian menu which would put to shame many veggie resaturant. This is not one of your bland 'could be anywhere' hotels. If you want one of those go to a Travelodge. This is a special place, idiosyncratic and different.... More

We had a lovely view of the sea. One night there was a dreadful storm... More

We booked into the Housel Bay hotel having read previous reviews. One reviewer advised that all rooms have a sea view, so as we were not likely to spend much time in the room we booked a standard room. This did indeed have a sea view, which was fine. It is clear that the 'true' sea view rooms will have... More
