10/10 Excellent

We had to stay here onky for 1 night. Unfortunately a damage to our motorcycle obliged to stay in Gorran Haven for 4 nights. The accomodation in hotel was perfect but without a rental car the place is isolated, nice but not for long stays.

10/10 Excellent

Amazing stay
Andres, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

From start to finish this was a bad experience, on arrival it was not clear where to go when you checked in - the phone number was incorrect on the door when we called and reception had moved. No iron in the room, had to get one from reception which proved difficult - we were then woke up at 8am by another guest to get the iron. No toilet roll in room, had trouble getting the shower to the right temperature due to dodgy handle. Key card was not allocated the right nights so had to ring reception to get back into room late at night on the 2nd night. Also didn't get a key to get back into the building, we had to use a hidden lock box in the bushes which was very odd. The building was lovely and you can definitely see the potential, just lacked any real service or offering - shame to see such a lovely building going this way.
Liam, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Maria is an absolute star! The Llawnroc was run by Maria on her own during our stay. She did everything, from welcoming us on arrival, to providing information on local places to eat, to cleaning rooms and even fixing the boiler when there was no hot water on the Saturday morning when the plumber chose not to attend until midday. It would be an idea for the management to make proper contracts with tradesmen for immediate response to this type of breakdown to ensure it does not become an issue. The web site should be more explicit about the facilities at the Llawnroc as it is effectively self catering with some small food items, milk, cornflakes being provided.

NEELU, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely hotel

Beautiful hotel in lovely setting. Friendly staff and lovely food. The only reason that I’ve given 4 stars as opposed to 5 was that my stay was affected by a hiccup that the hotel experienced, but this was dealt with quickly and professionally. Would definitely recommend a stay in this beautiful coastal setting.

Ideal for a quiet and peaceful get-away.

Great position and views, the road was quite a steep climb down and back to the Beach/Harbour. Very peaceful which was just what we were looking for. Excellent service from a very friendly and welcoming staff.
