Outstanding October Feedback!

Thank you so much to our visitors for some wonderful comments on our location, our staff and our restaurant. It makes such a difference to the team to hear your views.

“Absolutely stunning estate”

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay somewhere unique with outstanding views and walks.

“Brilliant location, sea views”

We came on the £115 for 2 nights deal and had a brilliant time. Amazing views, great location, nice clean hotel.

“Peaceful break”

This Hotel has one of the most beautiful views from a hotel room that I have ever experienced, overlooking St Ives Bay. The staff were extremely helpful and polite and the food was second to none.

“St Ives heaven”

My partner took me on a romantic surprise trip to St Ives for a few days and he booked Tregenna Castle. What a beautiful place!

The service of all the staff was impeccable, the room was great and the food at breakfast and for an evening meal was gorgeous. I would recommend this place to anyone as they have large rooms for families, cottages and chalets to stay in.

The gym facilities were also very good and the grounds were beautiful.

“Fantastic meal at Tregenna – so impressed!”

We were waited on hand and foot, nothing was too much trouble and food was fantastic. View out of the window next to us was the gorgeous ocean and pretty plants. Restaurant decor was very modern and stylish. Only downside? Too many items on the menu that we wanted to eat! Perfect excuse to go back time and time again :-)

“Helpful and polite”

We have always found the staff to be very helpful and polite in and around the hotel. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel as a place to stay.
