Positive Reviews
positive:
It's quiet.
Guests reported that when they would stop and listen, the only sounds to be heard were chirping birds and a babbling stream. The location is picturesque, with beautiful gardens and woodlands and nearby beaches. Guests who stayed there were really able to let go of the bustle of city life and truly relax.
positive:
The food is excellent.
Nearly every review praised the quality of the food served at the hotel's two restaurants. Everything is freshly prepared. They use quality ingredients and expert techniques, to create a menu that's described as being absolutely delicious. Guests also appreciated the wide selection of foods and wines available.
positive:
The staff will make you feel welcome.
Everyone who works at Lanteglos Country House, from the housekeepers, to the engineers, to the front desk, were described as being friendly to a fault. Previous guests were also very happy with the recommendations and directions the employees offered them on things to do in town.
Negative Reviews
negative:
There's a bit of a smell.
Guest reviews of Lanteglos Country House were almost entirely positive. Still, previous guests did have a few point of constructive criticism. A few people reported a smell in their room alternately described as being either "musty" or "stale". Several of those reviews noted that the smell seemed to be coming for the somewhat old looking carpet. They suggested that hard floor may have been an improvement.
negative:
The hotel rooms could be soundproofed better.
Some guests, especially those who had the misfortune of having particularly obnoxious neighbours, were disappointed in the sound proofing in the hotel rooms.
negative:
The food is a little pricey.
Some guests found the food to be a little too expensive for their tastes. With two restaurants on property, they expressed that they wished one of them could have been a more budget friendly option.
