Hartnoll Hotel

A great hotel, stunning location, very quiet with beautiful furnishings.

Great stay

The staff were friendly and welcoming, but I was very disappointed with the room which was overpriced and small with a distinct lack of storage space. The wardrobe was half full of iron, ironing board, spare pillows etc. There was no drawer space for other clothes. The wardrobe doors hit the bed when opened. I was on my own, thank goodness, not enough room for two people and luggage, and where does one put one’s suitcase? No safe but a gun locker built into the wall, too small for my ipad. The bathroom was good, no complaints about that. No full length mirror in the room. Half a dozen cushions on the bed and nowhere to put them when I went to sleep, they occupied all of the remaining floor space. I had a very light continental breakfast, not much choice of fresh fruit. The conservatory and gardens are nice.

We needed a dog friendly hotel for one night on our way to Cornwall and this hotel provided that perfectly. Everything about the hotel and the grounds was lovely, but I had one complaint. We ate in the bar, and I ordered the roast lamb. Although the lamb itself was beautiful, there was far too much meat and not enough other vegetables for me. 3 great chunks of lamb was excessive, and the only other vegetable were some inedible potatos. Sadly they tasted horrible, doused in a thick sauce.
