里斯坎酒店

Agree entirely with a previous review. Not an hotel, just a B&B with bar and a very limited menu. The proprietess wanted to talk at us. The son, considerably older than 21, came up to us in the bar and said his mother would be with us soon to serve us drinks. Clearly he was not authorized to. Why? So we waited another 5 --10 mins for her to appear. No hot water in room - neither shower nor wash basin. Reactions were "we know one of the hot water timers is faulty, but it's nearly time for annual maintenance" and "we have plenty of hot water in the kitchens" !. Was I supposed to shower in the kitchens? No compensation or apology was offered on checkout. Beware very daunting steep narrow staircase to all the rooms. The very same son did take our bags upstairs on arrival, but was nowhere to be seen on departure. The corner shower was very cramped, but the doors only opened halfway so it was difficult to squeeze in, I am not very large 5ft9 and 13st. There was no bath mat to step out on nor soap. Only a wall mounted shower gel dispenser in the shower. We shall not go back even though the beds were comfortable, and a reasonable hospitality tray and kettle on the dressing table which just reached the power point.

What a lovely place and very wonderful view. Breakfast was amazing and the hospitality is overwhelming. We were a family of four from London and the room was spacious and comfortable. We are really happy with the service. We do recommend this place for anyone who would like a quiet and peaceful getaway from city life.

Lovely setting. Large rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Quality of ingredients for cooked breakfast could be improved

The staff were extremely friendly and tried very hard. The hotel was difficult to find in the dark. The room was a bit tired and warm. The shower was a bit awkward for a wheelchair user. Being on a steep sloop a wheelchair user will need help to get in and out of the main house for meals. The staff did everything they could to accommodate but any wheelchair user will need assistance

a very unique and beautiful place. The owners have restored this old hotel beautifully and it is being maintained to very high standard. The staff are very good and provide a high standard of service to the guests.

I stayed as it was my sons passing out ceremony for the Navy . I absolutely loved it so friendly could not do enough for us will defo go back again

Wonderful location and great breakfast

Bedroom 7 was very clean, well decorated and comfortable but the shower cubicle is not suitable for anyone on the large side (over 12 stone) as the entrance is restricted. The stair carpet is worn and decor rather tired in the entrance. Sadly they ran out of eggs and brown bread at breakfast and sausages were tasteless but rest of cooked breakfast was fine. Friendly hosts and a quiet location with great view from the restaurant. Good amount of parking in front of hotel

The Liscawn ist eine außergewöhnlich Unterkunft mit einer langen Geschichte. Es ist sehr ruhig gelegen, mit Blick auf die Landschaft. Parkplätze sind vorhanden, die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich

Lovely location and friendly mum & son team running this b&b. However this is not a place for light sleepers! Curtains are not blackout - so room is very light from sunrise onwards (to include headlights of cars dropping off passengers or parking at night shining into your room). Plus the floors are very thin so you can hear every footstep of people in room above. Showers not great (I couldn’t get ours to work on last day). Definitely order the cooked breakfast as that was good and they always had a spare sausage for our dog (nice touch). However for the price we’d hoped they’d have someone to clear the dirty tables at breakfast, have better coffee and fresh pastries (or best not offer the stale ones). We’ve stayed here before so had hoped they’d sorted the ‘staff shortage’ (it was attributed to) by our 2nd visit but sadly not. Which is a shame as it’s a really gorgeous location.

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

The venue was beautiful and the room was large and nicely decorated ,but on further inspection found that the room hadnt been cleaned ,several years worth of mould and cobwebs behind furniture ,the shower looked slimy with black mould on the grout .Bed felt damp .no WI-FI no information pack ,no phone number for owner .very basic .Had to go and find the owner in the dark to investigate an altercation in the room above .Owner didnt seem very concerned or helpful .We left at midnight and drove home as the weekend had been ruined .

It is a very interesting enterprise with the owner adapting to circumstances and demand. We thought it was a bit pricey but realised that as it was the only accommodation near the near the footpath they capitalised on it. The room was pretty and comfortable but toilet was dirty,a piece of plastic left by shower and only two teabags! Very pleasant,friendly and informative hosts.

Fiona is a wonderful host. She was very welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel grounds are just gorgeous with breathtaking views and there are some lovely beaches very local. Breaky was a treat each morning. Even our dog got a sausage cut up and fed to him each morning too! He’ll miss this attention!! Thank you

Very helpful and friendly owner and staff. Would definitely stay again.

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

It was perfect… comfy room, so clean, great breakfast and friendly hosts .Thank you.

The interior of the hotel is a little tired however our bedroom (room 1) was very clean and the bedding and towelling soft and spotless. The bed itself was also comfortable. The ensuite had been recently updated and was to a good standard. There was a friendly welcome by staff for our breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.

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!

Beautiful old house in a lovely wooded valley, with a wonderful view. Very warm, welcoming and helpful staff. Sadly, the restaurant we've enjoyed on previous visits was under renovation so we had to dine elsewhere, but the hotel provided helpful and valuable alternate recommendations.
