The Llawnroc

A lovely property, great rooms and communal areas. I love the idea that it operated as almost self catering, without traditional hotel services. It was calm and quiet, very relaxing stay, would definitely come again. Fantastic little village and beach within walking distance.

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.

Maria is an outstanding host

Modern and spacious room with friendly staff, it was a great stay.

Amazing place to stay! The room was huge, very clean, and well-maintained. It’s also close to the beach with wonderful views. Thank you for the fantastic experience!

A beautiful place to stay. Staff was super helpful and friendly.

I took my partner for a three-night stay at the Llawnroc Hotel in mid September 2024 for a 60th birthday surprise. She had no idea where we were going. Maria on reception was incredibly friendly and helpful and had already helped me prepare the ground with a 'Superior Room with Sea View' and a table booked in the restaurant for our first evening. From the moment we arrived, I knew it was going to be special. The hotel is beautiful, everything right down to the decor and furnishings was first class and the view from the room was indeed breathtaking (on our first night, from our bedroom window, we saw a harvest moon over a calm sea - pretty unforgettable). Darren the chef made us two lovely meals, a two-course with excellent and good value wine on the first night and a fine tapas selection on our last night. The hotel is in the village of Gorran Haven; it has a beautiful old harbour and a fine beach. It also has some quirky little shops and an excellent cafe. Nearby, the town of Mevagissey is an interesting old Cornish fishing town with lots to do, and we went (a little further away) to Fowey for another treat, the home of Daphne du Maurier of 'Rebecca' and 'The Birds' fame, both made into films by Alfred Hitchcock. All in all, I can highly recommend the Llawnroc Hotel and I'm sure, as many others will say, it will demand more than one visit. We certainly intend going back.

Enjoyable 2 night stay for my birthday. Fantastic restaurant and great staff.

The profile photo (overlooking beach with nice garden) is misleading as it is not the hotel that we booked. This led to us being disappointed upon arrival and basically for most of our stay. The Hotel is more oriented around it’s restaurant which has an expensive one price for all main meals and a very expensive cooked breakfast or more affordable very limited continental breakfast. We had to try really hard to enjoy our stay which we did as the surrounding area is beautiful. The staff at the hotel and restaurant did their best within a thinly manned hotel and room service which was very hit and miss. We really wanted to have a more comfortable hotel to have our one holiday of the year in and at the prices charged this hotel needs to do much better.

I stayed at LLawnroc for two nights whilst attending a family wedding nearby. From the booking of the hotel, to the communication from staff even on the day of arrival was customer focussed, timely and informative. Maria on reception was excellent, friendly, helpful and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked through the door, even helping me recharge my mobile phone! The room was beautiful, with sea views. All the staff were great, the restaurant was beyond my expectations, the food was outstanding, the choice of wine with my early evening snack was spot ono and the breakfast choices were brilliant. I wish I could have stayed longer, will be returning next year for a much longer stay. Thank you for making my stay memorable and welcoming.
