I was really hoping to be able to write something more positive as my partner chose this restaurant for lunch, but unfortunately the best way I could describe our roast dinner was unremarkable. The first mouthful was lukewarm, the meat was scant and thinly cut. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding unappealing, the vegetables almost indistinguishable except for the peas. Presentation non-existent, although the service was good. I know it could be hugely more enjoyable - try eating Sunday roast at the Swan in Bampton, Devon - a completely different experience including the settings. I would love Trehallas to do better, I left feeling disappointed. Update the décor, so it doesn't feel I've stepped back in time. Direct the chef to serve the food hot, present the veg in separate dishes, provide extra gravy. Easy things to remedy. Customers, especially those who have travelled and come across exceptional meals, expect more these days. Trehellas are still catering for those who are happy with 1980's pub grub.

Has to be the best Hotel experience I have ever had, it was was booked as a birthday surprise in the hope it would be a little quirky! But it was so much more, the receptionist was so attentive and informative, she made sure we knew about everything on offer, and gave us good advice regarding the attraction. The building is just mind blowing and beautiful, it is obvious it was a prison but is now so tastefully presented. We explored the building for 90 mins just reading the plaques and looking at the history that is still standing. The room was so cozy, we did not want to leave, and the bathroom was to die for. Breakfast was a masterpiece and tasted so nice, nothing supermarket here, you could actually taste how each item had been carefully selected, right down to the butter. This will defiantly not be our last visit to Bodmin jail and I can not wait to be there again soon.

My wife and I had a short break at this hotel. We really loved it. The rooms were very clean, beds comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathroom was modern and clean and the shower worked well. The breakfasts provided were very good with ample choice. The hotel was well situated in the middle of Bodmin and made a great base for exploring Cornwall. We had two Vietamese meals in the restaurant and both were very good with very good service. We would stay here again and would recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in a suburb, the suburb of Bodmin, next to a highway service toll station, but there are few food at the toll station, just McDonald's, Subway and a Coop supermarket. If you want to go to Bodmin town for a meal, you can't do it without a car. Because it takes more than 2 hours to walk. So in theory, it should be normal to take away food. We bought food and prepared to eat in the hotel lobby, and then the front desk staff came and said that you can't eat, our place provides meals, and you can't eat takeaway food. To be honest, this is the first time I heard this reason. I'm not sitting in your restaurant, can't I eat takeaway in the lobby? I've stayed in many HIXes in the UK, and I came across this one, which was arrogant and acted like it had a reason. Other HIXes will let you use plates and knives and forks. This one will only drive people away. I thought they wanted me to buy their wine, so we bought it, and after buying it, they still drove people away. It was really annoying. Later I thought he was discriminating. Because the table next to me was eating pizza, so, see.

Room was very clean but staircase is very steep without a handrail., (it is a very old pub/cottage). The pain au chocolate was out of date. We did take this back to the lady behind the bar but it was not replaced. The room was not en-suite but there was a lovely large toilet/bathroom opposite the bedroom which we were told was for our private use. Shower gels, body lotions were provided which was nice. To sum up, I think it should be clear that they don't do a full english breakfast, & that it may be unsuitable for people with difficulty climbing stairs.

We planned to stay in Polperro for the evening but failed to book ahead of time and upon arrival, all accommodation was booked out so we made some phone calls and was recommend the King's Arms by another establishment. We were grateful to be able to secure a last minute booking and to be greeted by such lovely people after what was a very long day!! Danni, the hotelier made check in easy, offering us breakfast for the next morning. Leanne, the cleaner there was also overly helpful, even though not on duty, was lovely enough to escort me to my car, helping me with my groceries and luggage back to the accommodation. Both Danni and Leanne were welcomed new friends who were very knowledgeable about the area, helpful with tips for our planned trip to The Eden Project the next day and an absolute pleasure to meet! We were very happy with our room and had a great nights' sleep. Recommend a stay here! Thank you, John & Michelle from Australia
