We came here for a meal on our last night. We sat in the conservatory part and the views over the ocean and lighthouse were out of this world. The service and food was professionally done. It was a real fine dining experience and very well presented. I would definitely recommend it for couples on honeymoon and for a peaceful... More

Great views, helpful manager. Unfortunately the rooms need a refurbishment and the mattresses renewed. The restaurant serving staff need some training. Failed to understand why the tables in the dining room, which were set up for meals, were not used. Dinner was served on the verandah and no table cloths used. The serving staff stomped around which was quite distracting... More

We spent a last-minute night stay at the Housel Bay Hotel. Our first impression was breath-taking. The view is probably the very best this hotel can offer. Unfortunately the service/customer care was a full let-down! And gave our stay a bit of a sour taste. Spending almost £300/night, we had to view/let us into the rooms ourselves. The dinner was...

We just stayed here on a short honeymoon trip around Cornwall. What an amazing place, and as one previous reviewer had pointed out, an eclectic haven and definitely not your run of the mill hotel. The views are absolutely amazing, the welcome warm and the food excellent. Alfred, the owner made every effort to make sure we had a great... More

Another great stay at The Housel Hotel, Housel Bay. Front facing room this time with beautiful view. 2 blinds plus curtains meant that lighthouse beam was not distracting at night. Excellent food although the menu was the same most nights. Very helpful, friendly staff. Breakfast not until 8:30 but we soon got used to having a lie in!

We went there for an organised Christmas lunch yesterday, 2nd December 2012, and it was stunning. Food was gourmet standard, very reasonably priced, and the most amazing views. I would recommend this hotel for its food alone. We did not see the rooms.
