Tregenna Castle Resort

The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was great to be able to leave the car after we had checked out so that we could spend more time in St Ives. Lovely to be able to walk into St Ives through the garden. Also the woodland walk.

The shower sook ages to even get warm, such a waste of water. The pressure was low. Breakfast was not hot.

Really beautiful well kept grounds and excellent location

My room was a little plain but comfortable

All great

The restaurant: food was tasty and staff was excellent. The park is beautiful and well kept. We were given a room with a bit of ocean view.

I would not recommend staying at Tregenna Castle. Our room was certainly not designed to feel like a welcoming home away from home. First, you have to park your car in what looks like a farm courtyard, some distance from the castle. You then enter the castle through an unremarkable back door. The welcome at reception was acceptable but rather cold. We were then directed back outside to what looked like a converted barracks building, now housing a series of brand-new bedrooms. This was certainly not what we had imagined from the pictures on Booking.com. Very disappointing. Everything was new, but rather characterless: laminate flooring, uPVC windows, and so on. The bathroom light and extractor fan are activated by a motion sensor as soon as you open the door. The light is extremely bright, and the fan is very loud. Imagine having to use the toilet in the middle of the night! I had a hard time getting back to sleep, and the light and noise also woke my partner. The bathroom itself is spacious, but the sink is minuscule. If you want to splash water on your face, you either soak your pyjamas or bump your head against the shelf above the sink. Even brushing my teeth was uncomfortable. Hardly what we had imagined when booking a stay "at a castle". There were noises everywhere: the radiator, ventilation fans from several bathrooms, and even a washing machine! Needless to say, we avoided spending time in our room during the day. I had to wear earplugs both day and night. There is also a bright green light in the room that stays on all night, so bring a sleeping mask. Finally, the Wi-Fi connection is very unreliable. The restaurant has the elegance and atmosphere you would expect from a castle, but the rooms certainly do not.
