"Over priced and the chef is nowhere near talented enough to pull off the menu he advertises. I personally hate the fixed price for three courses and for the first three days we didn't visit because we couldn't find three courses we would choose. Eventually we succumbed but wish we hadn't. The starters are not a choice but instead a tapas so you are stuck with all four rather than able to choose the one you like. For us the lemon sole was a million miles too greasy in the Beurre noisette sauce. Even the veg was greasy. Finally, the dessert pastry could not be cut with a pneumatic drill.. the plate would succumb first. Poor value for half the price so definitely worth a miss. Go anywhere else.. even Mc Donald's..."

Wow. I've never had a set menu before, I've always been a little scared that I may not like everything. However, everything was incredibly tasty even the things I wouldn't normally try. Yes, it was a little pricey but the quality of the food and service was outstanding. We'll be back! Vegetarian options: An amazing vegan set menu! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Amazing hotel, doesn’t look that nice from outside, but it’s fantastic inside. We had a look inside the Scarlet while staying here and although it’s very nice, I think the facilities were more than adequate at the Bedruthan. The spa was amazing, the pool a decent size. The food was excellent, the staff excellent. We did the midweek autumn stay which is great value, but also meant it wasn’t too busy. Rooms: 5

Admittedly it looks rather tired on the exterior but a really lovely place with a beautiful position overlooking the sea. The reception staff were exceptional and we were so looking forward to our gift (a cream tea) Sadly that's where the positives end, the sandwiches were stale, the scones hard and dry as were many of the cakes. We were given a small pot of tea on arrival but no one came to ask if we would like another drink or ask how the food was. We were a fair size party and were really looking forward to our treat but I have to say, i was left very disappointed. Sadly I will not be returning for a second visit.

First of all, the hotel is a bit remote from the usual tourism. But that doesn't detract from the ambience... Great effort is made to suggest a noble impression. First of all, the guest has to descend quite a bit of stairs into the interior of the building and first pass 2 polite restaurant managers in order to finally get to the reserved table. You get a great uninterrupted view of Cornwall. Apart from the starter, the menu wasn't that big. The composition of the main course was rather unusual. It was also unusual that the starter was larger than the main course. Also that we could no longer get our selected dessert, but a new menu card was presented. Sure, we felt good, but I wasn't really...

"This review is really frustrating for me to write, because I really wanted to like this place. I came here with my family for dinner, booking a table here is fairly easy and it does get quite packed so it’s well recommended if you wanna avoid disappointment. We were seated at our table, and we ordered our drinks as well as our mains. Now fair enough the restaurant was fairly busy, but that is no excuse for making mistakes such as bringing the wrong drinks or forgetting our order, meaning we had to order our drinks and our entire starters and mains all over again. And it doesn’t seem like this was an isolated incident with us, as I heard another table nearby us was complaining to one of the staff members, who I will give credit to was very professional about the criticism. Once our food arrived, the starters were nice, item such as the fried pickles and the squid bites are nice appetisers that will get you prepped up for your main without filling you up before you eat it! However, the mains I’m sorry to say are average at best. I ordered a chicken snack burger which was smothered in oil, I mean I took one bite of it and the oil practically started pouring out. Makes eating it a very messy affair. Also for the money you spend on them, the quality you get I’m sorry to say, I just don’t think it equates to it. I didn’t order an alcoholic drink, but my relatives who did say they were nice and they are admittedly worth the money you spend on them. Atmosphere wise it’s nice in there, it’s like a proper steakhouse vibe so on that point they’ve got spot on. But I feel like the staff in there aren’t supported as much as it’s clear they seemed kind of overwhelmed by the busyness of the restaurant, which probably led to the mistakes that happened that night. I would hope to one-day visit this place again, because I really did want to like this place, and the service wasn’t that bad it just needs a bit of work."
