Tregenna Castle Resort

Tregenna Castle Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This was a return visit after discovering this hotel last year. Once again we had a fabulous stay. The resort is simply lovely, as are all the staff. I cant recommend staying here highly enough. The only slight negative i would stay is the gardens walk from the beach can be a little demanding if you have had a long day on tbe beach, however plenty of benches to take a rest if needed. Book now, you won't regret it !"
