Comfortable room. Easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Host Mary was exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful (gluten free food, booking taxi etc.). We are a retired couple walking the South West Coast Path and would stay here again.

A lovely, clean, good sized room. Very friendly welcome. If you just want to a place to just sleep for the night, this is ideal. Absolutely no noise from the pub below.

Perfect - the Housel room (the rooms has names and not numbers) is very nice, and the Lizard town itself is stunning and a must visit if you are in the area.

Well worth a stay
The ideal place to stay due to it's proximity to some very beautiful beaches. The stay was made by the really friendly and likeable staff. The room was clean but a bit tired and the shower cubicle needed a revamp. All in all, I would definitely stay again mainly due to the staff. I would prefer to have mugs for my morning cuppa as the cups provided were tiny!

Lizard
Location of hotel was nice although when they state parking it does not mention a free for all with all the tourists in the area. Tom was Comfortable except the door to the room does not fit correctly resulting in having to force shut to which leaves an approximate 50mm gap at bottom. I had to use pillows to block out noise. Evening meal was supposed to start at 1700hrs this did not actually start until 1730hrs. Ordered pot pie with chips and peas. I was kept waiting for nearly an hour before it arrived. When asking for a Vat receipt this proved a bit up much for the staff to which I still gave not received one. All in all I will not be staying again.

Best Hotel on the Lizard.
Clean and tidy with nice furnishings. And nice and friendly staff. Even had a live band in the bar on Saturday night which played us music to fall asleep too. Would 100% stay again at this hotel.
