Uncomfortable
The check in experience was great with friendly staff at reception. The room however not so great. I have stayed here twice before and was always given a comfortable room. The bed was so hard that I barely slept. The pillows werent much softer. The room was tatty although for the price I wouldnt expect anything more. Sad to say i won't return.

This was good value. It's old style (but not ancient), well enough maintained. A fan or tumble drier was on most of the night, not especially loud, but you could hear it somewhere. Close to Babbacombe. On street parking, not a problem for us in November, but summer must be difficult.

pleasant hotel
Trecarn was anice hotel in its day, sadly in need of renovation, however ground floor windows have been recently replaced with new double glazed windows. Price is cheap, however the heating is rarely on, need to get mobile oil heater to warm up room. good resturant and choice of meals. Lift is tempermental, rarely worked over last two/three years, however at last visit I was told that they have spend quite a bit of money on repairing lift and they hope it is fixed now. A cheap hotel for overnight stay
