We were welcomed by very accommodating staff to a very clean, well running and well established hotel. Even though we arrived far too early to check in, our room was already made ready! Nothing was too much trouble for the members of staff.
Others on St Mary staying at other hotels were concerned by noise from the overnight deliveries arriving at the dock in Hughtown, yet we were no-where near the noise albeit we were a short (2 minute) walk to the town centre.
Not being regular hotel goers we found it hard to understand why this is classed as a 2 star hotel - it is far more than that and the menus offered a similar range yet better value to those of the Star Castle (4* establishment) when we compared them.
An amusing thing to observe is the ability of the waiters to recall how you have your breakfast in the morning - they would arrive at the table and recount the previous day's order! The staff are entertaining and work very well together as a team.
This hotel was an excellent base allowing us to explore six islands in four days.
It also arranged the flights from Newquay for us, and explained that there is a fast transfer service (£6.50pp return) from the airport to the hotel (sit at the front on the minibus and listen to the driver explain the place to get your bearings).
Have already reccommended this hotel to others who are already booked up.
