The Liscawn - Torpoint

Harry B.

What a wonderful wonderful hotel and a night away! All round a lovely experience and certainly the most warming and welcoming hosts we have ever had the pleasure of staying with. The hotel is a beautiful historic building down a long winding drive in 'the middle of knowwhere' yet very easy to find. We arrived at the hotel in total peace and quiet, only some sheep grazing and beautiful views. The first welcome we had was by the hoteliers son, who was warm and welcoming and showed us to our room. The room was just right, nice comfy bed, beautiful views and all the amenities you need for an overnight stay (tea, coffee, TV, towels etc). We found out we were the only guests staying in the hotel this night and to pop down when we fancied dinner, and they would open up the bar for us. When we went down, we were welcomed by the wonderful Fiona who, even though it was late and the only people there opened the bar and made us some hot stacks (wedges and garlic bread) and we ended up chatting into the middle of the night like we had all known each other for a lifetime! Very reasonably priced food and drink, and I look forward to sampling full meals on our next visit! In the morning, we went down for breakfast to be greeted with a full continental array (again even though we were the only guests) and the same warm smiling welcome we had the night before! The cooked breakfast was perfect, with thick cuts of smoked bacon, fresh sausages, and all the trimmings! An amazing relaxing stay. We thank you all so much and can not wait to return!

The Liscawn is definitely a little gem tucked away in gorgeous scenic area of Torpoint. We booked a family room for my son's passing out parade at HMS Raleigh and were not disappointed. The room was on two levels, lovely and clean, complimentary drinks and the beds were so comfortable. We were given a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent breakfast with cold and cooked options. We definitely recommend and would stay again if visiting Torpoint.

Amazing stay. Only knocked off a star because of the shower. The place wasn’t that hard to get to. Greeted by very friendly staff/hosts. Stayed a couple of nights. Room was nice but the power on the shower was not as strong as I would like or as spacious but adequate. Asked for iron and board which was promptly left by the door during breakfast for us to use. Breakfast was nice. Spoilt for choice with the option of continental and full breakfast. Also had dinner which was also of very good standard. Amazing view from the dining room. If I were to come back to Cornwall, I would consider to stay here again.

The best hotel stay! Stayed here for work, my room (6) was beautiful, the location was lovely and quiet and staff are amazing! The breakfast we had cooked for us was 10/10 as well. I will definitely be returning! Staff reopened the bar for us after closing and made us feel so welcome and relaxed! 🙂

I have travelled a great deal , the Liscawn is not a hotel it is a bed and breakfast . We arrived on Friday to be shown to our room by a very polite member of the Adams family .|We settled in to our room then headed for the bar. It was empty but they did serve us to bottled drinks. My request for a sandwich won a startled gaze but they did raid their refrigerator. |Breakfast was OK , had to find son of lurch to request more tea toast etc. We did tell them we would be eating in.|Went to the restaurant at night , menu looked very unappetising chicken goujon and chips , sausage and mash .I went for the fish and chips expecting fresh cod , but got something hard and crispy like a burnt captain bird's-eye leftover.|After that we eat at lunchtime and got our evening meal from Sainsburys. |Two days we were the only guests but one day it did rise to 8. |A beautiful hotel but wouldn't go back

What a lovely stay we have just had, the setting is absolutely beautiful. Rooms clean and an amazing breakfast. Took our baby dog and he even had a sausage cooked for him with treats as soon as we arrived. So often hotels say dog friendly but not aloud he there and anywhere, but o my goodness he was more welcome than us lol. Cannot wait to go back.

Staff are superb, rooms are large and beds are comfy. Beach is within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. The service is second to none. Breakfast isn't usually served until 7 and I had to leave at 6. The host went out of her way and ensured my breakfast was ready to take away! 10/10 all around

Stayed for 2 nights as a family of 4. Such a shame I couldn’t honestly give this a 4 star as I did like this establishment so any negative parts of this review was purely based on the room we stayed in. We had the family room with en-suite bath (room 12) which was part of the external barn conversion building.

Let’s start with good
Lovely looking building full of character and located very conveniently, easy to find with absolutely stunning views. Polite and well mannered staff and for me the highlight was the lady owner who was chirpy with a great sense of humour whom you can talk to all day and seems to be the heart and soul of this family run business who carried it all.

Sadly onto the bad…
Room 12 looks like it could use a bit of a refurb/update. Single beds on 2nd floor was so creaky/squeaky that the slightest move leads to very loud squeak noise. It’s not as insulated on the 2nd floor so on cold mornings, you do feel that coldness and dampness in the air. Despite there being a bathtub, there was no hot water from the taps and we could only use the shower component which had a hot water on demand system and not thermostat controlled so yes we get slightly above warm water for a shower but definitely can’t have a soak in the bathtub. Wi-Fi was a little hit and miss depending on which part of the building you are in.

Overall, I think the 3 stars is fair review, slightly let down by the room we stayed in (can’t speak for the rooms in the main building).
