The room and the view was spectacular. The bed extremely comfortable. The bathroom was really nice and modern. The reason for the lower rating was the restaurant. We had a bad experience. They reserve the tables for the local people. We were seated in the pub section close to the bar even though all other tables were empty. We arrived at 4pm, it was empty. We ended up between two wet and smelly dogs and getting poked by the gentleman standing at the bar behind us. The server was oblivious and waiting for β€œthe rush”. There were many other empty tables when we left? The breakfast is served in the dining room. It is delicious. The service is poor they do not have the staff to support the patronage. Would not return to this charming hotel.

My wife and I stayed only one night, but we wish we’d had more time to enjoy the area and hotel. Kim checked us in, and she answered every question and took care of every need without trouble or delay. For the rate we paid, my wife and I agreed this was the best place we stayed on our 2 week journey around the southern UK. Access to the water, a nice walk to Land’s End, convenient breakfast and pub food, and complimentary coffee, tea, and round of lager were some highlights of our single day staying here.

Nice location as opposite the beach parking not on site but in Pay & display car park next door. Booked a premium room with sea views but view obstructed by scaffolding but was due to be dismantled soon. Room was nice but not exactly spotless as very dusty especially on drinks tray & lights, TV. Also Shower screen damaged and bathroom blind broken. With a little more care and attention & TLC checks before check in, the hotel could be really nice as fantastic location, especially in the summer for drinks.

The Old success inn is in a beautiful location. Check in was very smooth and the member of staff was very attentive and explained everything we needed to know. We stayed here with the view to doing parkrun at Lands End and on the website it shows breakfast is from 8am-11am, he was adamant it was only till 10am but made a note we'd be back in time. I since checked and their website does say 11am so be careful here. Our room was in the adjoining out door block. Very spacious and nicely decorated however the mould on the blinds wasn't so pleasant. We had an evening meal in the restaurant, i had the trout special which I have to say was lovely however literally a few hours after going to bed I woke clammy with cramps and spent till 2am with sickness & diarrheoa. I felt better the next day however come the evening i worsened again leaving me unable to eat my evening meal or breakfast and another night in the bathroom. On arrival home I then spent another 3days unwell. It does look like it was from the fish! I did email the hotel to make them aware but didn't get a reply. If this hadn't have happened it would have made our stay far more enjoyable.

Had a lovely stay at The Old Success Inn. We booked a room with sea view and were not disappointed. The breakfast was really good and kept us going well into the day. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was really good. Only issue was the bathroom fan was really loud, however forgot to tell them this when checking out, so hopefully they will read this review. Overall thought the stay was great.
