Trenython Manor

booked this hotel for our 46th wedding anniversary after seeing the write ups on the quality of the food and hotel. The hotel write up says “wake up to sea views and a hearty breakfast included on both mornings of your stay, tuck into the continental buffet or order cooked items from the menu, will it be full Cornish or eggs Benedict? Our talented chefs will create a three course dinner for you to enjoy in the intimate oak panelled Dakota restaurant also included in one night of your stay expect delicious dishes where local and seasonal ingredients shine” I must point out that this hotel was taken over in September 2024 and I think most of the information on their website is related to the previous owners the delicious food was not forthcoming we had booked that romantic weekend which included rose petals in the room, chocolate bottle of Bubbly & breakfast on both nights with three course dinner on 1st night The breakfast was most disappointing I've never seen such a bland looking full English in all my life as per the photograph and it was all cold and I ordered it with the eggs poached to be on toast so the yoke would seep into the toast and my wife ordered egg Benedict, both our eggs came up solid! The evening meal which again nothing related to previous write ups on the hotel. The main courses on offer were pasta arrabiata, sirloin steak but that was an additional £10, duck with noodles and hoisin sauce, cheeseburger and fish and chips. The duck and noodles came up with a duck leg on top! Whenever I've had that in any other high class restaurants the duck always comes up shredded in the noodles not dumped on the top. The waitress we had who's now gone off to Bali was outstanding, the maitre-d' for breakfast and in general I must say was very poor. While staying you could NOT run up a TAB! Every time we ordered a beer, wine or anything you have to pay at time of ordering.

This review is about the HOTEL and hotel ROOM we stayed in only - the lodge in the hotel grounds we were moved to after 2 hideous nights was fabulous - clean, fresh and fully equipped (and we had no complaints either about the scaffolding which entirely covered the Manor House building but only showed that some external maintenance at least was underway) So, the room (which we were expected to stay a week in) ... was utterly shocking. When we'd signed up for our CLC Trial Membership we had been promised that we would have 5 holidays where the last thing we needed to worry about would be the standard of our accommodation, since we had purchased 5 weeks of ‘luxury accommodation’. Other CLC holidays have (or have almost) matched up to that promise, but the hotel room we were allocated at Trenython Manor would barely have passed muster as 2 star budget accommodation. After our first 2 nights there, when we’d hardly slept at all due to what sounded like someone banging a metal pipe on a dustbin lid every few seconds throughout the night (which on investigation turned out to be caused by a gate at the top of the scaffolding outside our room, which had been left open and was swinging to and fro in the high wind and constantly banging against the metal scaffolding), we'd asked at the hotel reception for a room change - and were moved to one of the aforementioned lodges for the rest of our stay. But the room ... well, there was absolutely no way we could have spent a week in that room – even without the disturbed sleep – because it was tiny, shabby, ill-equipped and very, very dirty as evidenced by the attached photographs. IF you need to stay in the area be sure to book a LODGE rather than a room!

We stayed in a two bed villa and booked last minute. What a bargain what a find and what a fabulous place. We spent £144 through *********** for one night for 4 adults. Everything was amazing. The domestic staff should be praised for their high standards the whole place was spotless. Bathroom kitchen & bedrooms/bedding amazing. The check in at the hotel was good - we didn’t get to swim as they only had a 18:15 slot for 4 people but dinner was booked for 19:00 and would have been a bit too close to make it worth it. We decided to buy the breakfast at the hotel £13.50 pp - AMAZING VALUE ! Well done to the great team serving us the girls were brilliant at their jobs and very capable dealing with anything that needed doing. Literally so much food on offer and the quality was good/high. We will definitely use these chalet/villas again and would highly recommend. Top tip we took our own micro towels and needed to use them in the bathroom as the ones left were a little bit small!

From the first visits to Trenython for Sunday lunch in 2017 our experiences have declined from superb to dismal. Our last experience endorsed that the only consistency has been the greeting and attention from Selim the restaurant manager other than that the presentation of the table and the food was at best "canteen standard" Such a disappointment that the standards have fallen for a location and premises that are amongst the best in Cornwall.

We spent one night here for our anniversary and left so relaxed it felt like we’d been away the whole weekend. The staff in every department went above and beyond, the food was amazing, the room was nice, the views were incredible. Shout out to Jurgita in the spa who we had massages with and it was the best massage experience we’ve both ever had. The value for money in this place is shockingly good and I’ve been recommending it to everyone. If you’re on the fence just do it and ignore all the Karen’s in the bad reviews.

We stayed over xmas and loved it. The staff are super friendly and the service was great. This was our fourth time staying at the hotel and something brings us back time and time again. Whether it's the peaceful location or the sense of feeling at ease - I'd recommend 100%
