    service delay

    pleasant stay with room for improvement

    The garden view from our room added a serene touch to our stay. The staff displayed remarkable hospitality that made us feel welcomed and valued.

    While the food was good, there was a slight delay in service during peak hours.

    The gardens at The Waterwheel are simply enchanting, providing serene spots for relaxation and vivid flowers, all easily accessible for seniors. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home during my stay.

    A shelf in the wet room would be helpful.

    peaceful gardens
    accommodating staff

    During my stay, I found the whole experience enjoyable. The staff were accommodating, and the gardens were peaceful. I appreciated having breakfast each morning. One evening, I had dinner and was pleased with the quality of the meal. I also like that I was able to relax in a nice setting. The area is perfect for someone looking for quiet time away from the city.

    fresh fruit salads
    beautiful gardens
    comfortable room
    warm evenings
    minor discomfort

    The breakfast here is a showstopper, with options that’ll make your day brighter – fruit salads so fresh, they practically dance! The gardens? A hidden gem, perfect for a stroll. Plus, the room was spot on, I slept like a log!

    Nothing was truly shabby, but the room got a bit too warm for my liking on sultry evenings. Just a small bump in an otherwise perfect stay!

    gorgeous gardens
    comfy room
    tiny bathroom

    Had a lovely stay! The gardens are simply gorgeous, and our room was comfy with charming decor. Easy access to the nearby attractions made our trip delightful.

    The bathroom was so tiny, I nearly needed a map to find the toilet! watch out for the dog hogging all the comfy seats.

    excellent breakfast
    beautiful gardens

    great base for exploring picturesque gardens and charming landmarks

    I really enjoyed the excellent breakfast that fueled my days and the beautiful gardens on the property enhanced the relaxing vibe of my stay, making it a perfect match for my weekend strolls through the city and nearby attractions like St Austell Viaduct less than 1.5 km away and Pinetum Park just over 3 km away. the only downside was the noise from the busy road nearby, but it didn't detract much from my overall experience.
