January Feedback

We had such great feedback last month that we thought that we'd share it with you. Thank you to our lovely visitors for taking the time to review their stay.

“Beautiful location, fantastic service, rooms and dining.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Tregenna Castle. Food was excellent and waking up in our four poster bed and looking out over the sea was breathtaking.

“Yes!”
‘Wow’ is the word to describe this castle...it is a beautiful place...the rooms make you feel like royalty...would I go back?...oh yes, yes, yes.

“Ideal place to stay with a big party of friends and kids.”
Really had a great stay at Tregenna Castle. Kids and I didn't want to leave. Fantastic. Thanks, Tregenna Castle.

“Excellent - this hotel has got everything!”
I really like this hotel because it has so much character. It feels a bit colonial, a good old fashioned English hotel. It was terrific value. We had a lovely welcome on arrival and found the staff to be really very friendly, helpful and efficient.

“Tremendous Tregenna.”
The staff are really helpful and very courteous throughout. Thank you to them all for making our stay so good. We'd definitely love to come again.

“Perfect.”
We had a mid-week break for two nights and had a fantastic time. Could not fault the service of the staff or the rooms. Excellent quality food from the restaurant. Will 100% visit again!

“Fantastic stay, we will be back for sure.”
I am so glad that I have found this haven. The girls at reception made a real fuss of the kids and made them feel very special. The breakfast really set us up for the day, there was so much choice. The walk into St Ives was lovely, the grounds are breathtaking. We can't wait to go back.

“The best ever.”
This hotel is the best ever, you get pampered from the first day of your stay to the last.

“Beautiful hotel, wonderful experience.”
We stayed for 3 nights and each night was better than the last. The food at the restaurant was exceptional and I would highly recommend Tregenna to anyone looking for a memorable trip. Cannot wait to return. Absolutely faultless.

Glowing reports!

We are immensely grateful for the outstanding feedback we received last month. Thank you so much.

“Fantastic...great service...amazing food...good value”
We (my partner and I) decided to visit Tregenna Castle Hotel for a two night get away between Christmas and New Years, utilising a special online offer. We stayed in the main castle, room 100 with a sea view. The room was lovely and what we expected from an old house. When we got seated in the main room, we were served within 20 minutes with STUNNING food! The flavours were out of this world! We had a fantastic time and will be returning in the near future!!

“3 day Xmas special”
Thank you for the break over the Xmas. Everything about the break was 1st class from booking in (the staff were very welcoming and very helpful) to the food which was fantastic as apparent since there were local people there for their Xmas dinner. This has been our 3rd break there this year and the standard of the hotel has been superb every time.

“Christmas Package 2011”
The 'wow' factor as you pull into the grounds raises your expectations as the Tregenna Castle and estate is set in a breath-taking location and does not disappoint. Family of four staying for the Christmas package 24 Dec to 27 Dec - excellent value for money. Very good food, friendly staff, very welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves especially on Christmas Day. Would recommend this hotel, little extras and attention to detail all add to the feeling of being taken care of.

“Christmas Wedding at Tregenna Castle Hotel”
Thank you for making our Xmas and Boxing Day wedding an amazing experience, the food was fantastic the staff so friendly and attentive to our needs and those of our family and friends.

The whole experience from initial enquiry to the actual stay was made so easy and comfortable with the help of our wedding planner Keira and the Hotel staff.

Would recommend you try it, you won't be disappointed!

“Beautiful Hotel”
The Tregenna Castle Estate is up there in the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. My partner and I got a fantastic deal (probably due to the fact we went in December) and the whole stay was just incredible. The hotel is beautiful, the room was amazing with a huge bed, bathroom and waiting room and we were surprised to have a sea view room after all (and its the view that really made the stay wonderful, definitely have sea-view if you get the choice.)

The staff were friendly and welcoming, the bar was lovely and comfortable and the restaurants served delicious food in the evenings.

I would totally recommend the Tregenna Castle Estate for any type of holiday and for any length of holiday as there is so much to do and explore on site without even walking 10 minutes to the beach and St Ives and Tregenna is only a 40 minute drive from either Truro or Lands End.

An absolutely amazing holiday.


“Beautiful St Ives”
Tregenna Castle is the perfect setting for a splendid break. The Castle Hotel rises out of the hilltops above St Ives, sharing magnificent views of the ocean and town of St Ives, as well as the harbour.

The Hotel staff could not have been more helpful - they were extremely friendly and accommodating without being instrusive and over-familiar.

The room, restaurant and facilities of the Hotel are superb - no complaints whatsoever.

The grounds of the Hotel are superb, and the entire break was a lovely experience.

We will definitely be going back!


“Stunning position”
Anyone planning a wedding should look at Tregenna. The views over St Ives are stunning and you can get the most fantastic photographs. The grounds are superb, the gardens are as good as any National Trust property. A really friendly laid back place.

The Week Ahead: W/C 2nd January

What’s On
Happy New Year! To get it started in the best possible way we have created some extra special offers for the coming months, with 2 nights for the price of 1 in the hotel and 50% off our self-catering properties around the estate. Do check our website for further detail on these deals. Talking of which, what are your thoughts on our brand new website? It’d be great to hear what you think – you can email, Facebook or Tweet us. We look forward to hearing from you.
