Burgh Island Hotel

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The hotel is located on an island and access is determined by tide and weather conditions. The hotel reception team sent us clear and concise guidance regarding our arrival arrangements. We were greeted, land-side, by the lovely Richard who whisked us across the causeway whilst giving us a brief history of the island and hotel. As we alighted our transport, we were greeted by Simon who showed us into the Palm Court, offered us a refreshing drink and chatted with us about the hotel, our reason for our visit and told us something about himself. After 10 mins or so we felt very much part of the Burgh Island family. Our suite (Amy Johnson) was beautifully appointed, the public rooms (Palm Court, Grand Ballroom etc) are true to the art deco era and the island and surrounding seascape were stunning. The weather was kind and we sat, with a G&T, on the terrace overlooking the Mermaid Pool. We took a delicious light lunch in the Palm Court and retired to our suite for a rest before dressing for dinner in The Grand Ballroom. The food was delicious, wine perfect, staff and service 1st class and the 3 piece group entertained us with wonderful ‘old time’ numbers which were perfect for the setting. After dinner, we moved back into the Palm Court for coffee and a wee nightcap. Breakfast was served in the Nettlefold restaurant where we had a fab table overlooking the sea. The staff and service were once again 1st class. After checking out. We were once again whisked across the sands to our car, our luggage was transferred back into our vehicle and we headed home. We thoroughly recommend Burgh Island Hotel for a different experience. One of old world charm, glamour and a very laid back atmosphere. If you’re thinking of going. Book it. You won’t regret it. Thank you to everyone at Burgh Island Hotel for making our stay special.

Authenticity, location, and in general the service from staff was very good !

It was a unique experience that lived up to our high expectations. It is a wonderful Art Deco building with many original features throughout. The 2 tiered lounge is especially lovely, with its stained glass domed roof. The staffs attentiveness was exceptional from the start. From the Manager, Vlad, Director of Guest Relations, ensuring our stay started perfectly, being met at our car on the mainland and ferried over with our luggage by Richard. Thanks also to Simon, Robin and all the other staff for making our stay so memorable. The Black Tie dinner and jazz band was super fun, with cocktails and canapés in the lounge beforehand. A bracing pre-breakfast morning dip in The Mermaid Pool, with it’s amazing sea views was unique experience. Also, a unique experience was the sea-tractor over to the mainland which was great fun. Really felt the Agatha Christie vibe, especially in our amazing bedroom suite with Art Deco furniture and stunning views. An utterly memorable experience.

Art Deco influences Amazing location and views The food and attentiveness of staff

The attention to detail in the decor and surroundings is spot on. The staff were attententive but not over bearing and were willing to assist whenever approached. The food is excellent and locally sourced wherever possible. A ride on the Sea tractor is a must and also gives a different view of the island and the surrounding area.
