A family-run hotel overlooking the Looe Harbour, the Portbyhan Hotel Hotel offers three-star accommodation. Major refurbishments were completed in 2013, and the hotel was recently awarded “Best Individual Hotel” at the National Coach Tourism awards. All rooms are equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, a TV and telephone, plus all rooms are ensuite. Free breakfast is offered and there is complimentary Wi-Fi. Meeting rooms are located on-site and free parking is available for a nearby car-park. Riverside restaurant is located on-site, which offers a range of Cornish meals from locally-sourced ingredients. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner and there is a Sunday carvery. An extensive drinks list is available. A number of quirky shops and stalls can be accessed on foot, and there are number of riverside walks at the hotel’s door. The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Tintagel Castle are 30 and 40 miles away respectively.
The hotel décor has received an overwhelming amount of praise. Plenty of guests have complimented the new refurbishments, and have noted that the rooms are comfortable with pleasant decorations.
Whether working in the hotel or in the restaurant, the staff are reported to be friendly and efficient. A large number of guests have praised the employees for their attention to detail and welcoming attitude.
The hotel’s location is faultless, with guests admiring the nearby marina. The riverside location offers a peaceful stay, yet is near enough to the town centre to explore the fishing village on foot.
A minor complaint held by some guests is that the room sizes do vary. A lot of rooms have been described as spacious, although some double rooms are reported to be on the small size with cramped bathrooms. If space is a concern, perhaps consider requesting something larger when booking.
Many rooms overlook the river, which is praised in a number of reviews. In other cases though, guests have noted that rooms at the back of the building overlook the courtyard, which is drab and uninspiring. Make a note when booking for views of the marina.
Beware that rooms may get hot during the summer months. A few guests have noted that the rooms heat up on sunny days and remain uncomfortably warm throughout the night.
