Beach and Location
Pros:
"Some caves to explore and it's a short walk on to Great Western beach."
"Beach very clean and lots of friendly people."
"The beach is a decent size with plenty of space."
"Lovely sandy beach, weather was hot all week and sea was great to splash about in."
"Always so clean and beautiful, especially when the tide is out!"
"Beautiful beach suitable for all of the family."
"The most perfect location. Long private beach with soft golden sand."
Cons:
"One thing no soap in toilets to wash hands properly and it says no dogs allowed but dogs was on there."
"Nice beach, plenty of lifeguards, but shame about public toilets, and the beach, no proper water, no hand cleaning facilities."
"Toilets are pretty good but do whiff a bit especially late on."
"Toilets let the beach down they could do with major updating."
"First visit this year to tolcarne I come here but bit disappointed dog mess on the beach and dogs on beach says no dogs."
"We found the information on the website misleading, we was expecting the beach to be private which it wasn’t."
"I was expecting more from it. It was nice and isolated. Sand had a nice feeling but I've found some rubbish here and there."
Accommodation
Pros:
"The cabins are out of this world, on the beach and very clean."
"We are staying in cabin No.9. It is just a little piece of heaven."
"Stayed 4 night's in one of the self catering beach apartments in December, lovely and cosy for watching the storms roll in."
"The upper floor en-suite bedroom is super. Great views over the sea and beach."
"The accommodation is spotlessly clean... lovely fluffy towels and crisp white linen."
"They are roomy, spotlessly clean despite the inevitable ingress of sand when entering from the beach, decorated in fascinating detail with polished wooden floors."
"The room was immaculate and had everything we needed, from towels and shampoos to a record player and sunloungers in our beach garden."
Cons:
"For 2 people it wasn't bad but for a family, it might be a bit cramped."
"Beware though - the photos make the apartment look bigger than reality."
"The kitchen is MINUTE…it is not possible to cook for a houseful."
"The bedrooms on the lower floor are tiny and with no view except for a walkway which means one has to keep the curtains closed."
"Apartments are well kept & have a nice theme but are a bit outdated inside in respect of appliances tv bed etc.."
"The ensuite shower head was far too large for the shower cubicle itself."
"Been a couple of times & nothing special for what you pay at all."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"The staff are great; friendly and very helpful, kindly arranging taxis for us back from Jamie’s in Watergate Beach and Rick Stein’s in Padstow."
"The staff in the restaurant were superb."
"All the staff were just amazing."
"The staff could not of been nicer made us feel so welcome."
"The staff are all so very cheeful, helpful and attentive to every request or query and really give the impression that they all feel part of a happy family."
"Staff were amazing; had problem with WiFi, they fixed it as soon as they knew it was playing up."
"Everyone at Tolcarne are so helpful and made our stay so stress free."
Cons:
"No cask ales which is disappointing."
"I would have given 5 Stars but food waiting times were a little long."
"Price wise it needs to be a hell of a lot more realistic especially during summer & with its last minute deals off season."
"My only gripe would be Colonial restaurant -menu more variety required but that didn’t spoil our stay."
"Only downside was hearing the chefs at the back swearing and talking rudely from the kitchen."
"Unfortunately poor organisation and staffing in the kitchen let itself down."
"I reserved and payed for 3 nights in August only to have my booking cancelled today. No reason, no communication."
