Super cool hotel!

10.0

The hotel was beautiful and the view was amazing.

Nothing.

Mitsamt der seit Jahrhunderten treuen Gäste ahnt der Käptn wohl den Absturz der Villa von der Klippe

4.0

Bahnreisende sollten nichts erwarten.Es gibt einen Linienbus vom Bahnhof, der etwa 15 min fährt. Ab der Haltestelle dann geht es mitsamt Gepäck noch 10 min weiter. Ich hatte mir gerade das Bein verletzt und es regnete. Trotzdem das Hotel direkt am West Coast Trail liegt, ich also davon ausgehe, dass Wanderer Routinebegegnungen sind, wurde ich nach sehr freundlichem Einchecken einer jungen Angestellten von einer Oldie Version von Prinz Charming abschätzend angeguckt und mit ‚and for what are you looking for?‘ begrüßt. Ich sagte, ich suche mein Zimmer Nummer Sowieso. Ohne weitere Worte oder einer Erklärung, wer er sei, sagte er, das Zimmer wäre ganz oben, drehte sich um und meinte noch, es sei ein sehr schönes Zimmer. Ich humpelte also mit dem Gepäck nach ganz oben, unterwegs einige schwere Schwingtüren bewältigend. Ich sachma: Prima Filmkulisse für nen x-ten Psycho! Allerdings mit Schiebetür in der Dusche. Selten so eine abgerockte Bude (zu so einem phantasievollen Preis)gesehen. Den Waschbeckenverschluss steckte ich sofort zurück und nahm das langsam abfließende Wasser lieber in Kauf als länger darüber nachzudenken, ob mein Vorgänger Hagrid hieß (ich bin hier immer noch bei ‚was hat mir gefallen…‘ )Unten war für die höhere Gesellschaft mit Sportwagen dann auch alles sehr Käptnmäßig maritim Antik und wirklich nett eingerichtet. Auch oben in meinem Zimmer wurde ich nach dem Nebel von einer zauberhaften Aussicht überrascht. Ich war 7 h wandern, was sich dort echt gelohnt hat, von nett angelegtem Weg auf dem Küstenwanderweg bis hoch und runter durch die Natur. Sehr schön!

Die Manieren des Käptns, das Frühstück sollte bei den eigenen Ansprüchen ( die mir allerdings gar nicht klar sind) mindestens frisches, ausgesuchtes Obst enthalten und wirklich sehr guten Kaffee für Touristen. Nach mehr angebranntem Toastbrot mochte ich nicht fragen. Der Nebenraum war durch eine dünne Wand statt ehemaliger Tür getrennt, womit ich nicht nur durch Schnarchen genervt war.

A very enjoyable four day stay in Cornwall, at a lovely hotel, to celebrate my 80th birthday.

10.0

It was a lovely hotel on a quiet road, with a beautiful view of the sea from the front. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and there was plenty of parking.

Perhaps a fan in the room would have been nice, as the weather was exceptionally hot.
