The Liscawn

Minor electrical issues left our room in the dark, however was not any significant issue. Lovely family operation

A lovely lovely host and family the property needs a bit of updating but they are so short staffed it was hard for them to offer the bar and restaurant and the outside seating had no cushions on but they made us feel so welcome and were so friendly and so hard working and offered to cook evening meals and open the bar if required. They work 7 days a week with no rest and we even saw the owner up at 10 pm one night doing the laundry. I do hope they get the rest they deserve in the winter months when they close

Stayed for 4 nights recently. Fiona & her team offered a very warm & friendly reception in a beautiful part of Cornwall we’d never visited before. Our dog friendly accommodation was amazing, private entrance, 4 poster for the adults & an adjoining upstairs, beautifully oak beamed attic room for our 8 yr old daughter, large with 3 single beds - great for a family of 5 plus the Dorma windows made for easy star gazing. Breakfast was lovely, fresh & local full English with good continental selection. Daughter loved the waffles & Fiona reserved a waffle just for her every morning. Our dachshund also spoilt with a sausage every morning for breakfast! The hotel grounds were also beautiful. There’s a lovely garden & large pond, with nesting mallards there at the moment. Within the grounds, there’s a great play area for kids, surrounded by nature & very secure. The Liscawn is a great central base, stunning surroundings & within 25 mins of attractions like Mount Edgecumbe, Looe, Polperro & Cawsand. The Barbican can be reached by foot ferry from Mount Edgecumbe. There’s a small beach close by, easy access. Tregantle’s large sandy Beach is a mile away, beautiful & uncrowded - down the cliff but you could get a pushchair down. A huge plus point was how dog friendly the area is, numerous restaurants & shops all welcoming pooches, our dachshund was spoilt more than the humans!

We picked this hotel as we were attending a wedding nearby. Fiona and Anna made us feel very welcome, and made our son feel especially welcome which was great as he is an only child. Service was above and beyond, especially as they are short staffed given the circumstances around Covid. Lovely views too.

Very spacious room in the building opposite the main building. Staff very good with the children.

Liked the friendly helpful reception and serving staff, the room decor (double room main building), the many efforts made to make the hotel welcoming to all kinds of people. At a price of £114 for one night I was very disappointed with the poor range/quality of breakfast food , cold dining room, limited range of cheap quality wines for dinner (6 white/red) and coolness of the dining room (ate wearing my down jacket) and the annexed family room.
