The Pig at Harlyn Bay - Cornwall

We had never been to a Pig before and loved every moment we were there for dinner. The food was sublime but quite apart from that there was so much about the place that was relaxed and comfortable and such things do not happen by accident. To name just a few details which made a big impression: smartly dressed but at the same time “casual” staff, lack of matching chairs, cutlery, crockery etc (these could have come from a junk shop but thought had gone into this and it worked!) and the attentive but not overbearing staff were supremely friendly. We walked round the kitchen garden before dinner and it was a delight to see and then we had the benefit of it at our dinner. Everything that we ate was delicious: home-made breads, hake, gurnard and blancmange (panna cotta). Well done to you all and we will find an excuse to return. Robin Lane, Devizes

We have visited all The Pigs, but this one. It was worth the wait. We had a fabulous room with a sea view and roll top Bath. Dinner was delicious and service was excellent. The hotel has many small snug rooms to relax in as well as great outdoor spaces if you are blessed with good weather. This Pig we highly recommend and is worth the long drive. The beach is spectacular and literally a 10 minute walk away. The staff recommended brilliant walks. Thank you for making my birthday a memorable day x

This was our first visit to a Pig but definitely won’t be our last. We stayed on a chilly, but sunny couple of days and had a wonderful time. Our room was beautiful-loved the bath and the toiletries-the bed was comfy and the towels fluffy! We had a great dinner in the restaurant, which is not cheap but everything was really tasty and the service was great. What impressed us most was the friendly staff who interacted with us throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was so well coordinated…at breakfast we were asked if we’d like to sit upstairs as we’d been downstairs for dinner. Love this attention to detail! We’ll be back.

Another excellent stay at a Pig Hotel. We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate my birthday. Super hotel, comfortable rooms, log fires, great food, and wonderful staff where nothing was too much trouble which made it a memorable occasion. We will definitely be staying again. Well done!

I admit to being a bit cynical about UK hotels - I always feel slightly disappointed when I leave. However, The Pig has made me reevaluate my sentiments. We had a fantastic 3 night stay over Christmas. We had booked one of the ‘cosy’ rooms, and indeed it was cosy. But the shower more than made up for the lack of space. The staff were outstanding - professional, relaxed, friendly. They have absolutely nailed it. A particular shout-out to housekeeping for both the morning and evening service and to Jordan for his enthusiastic advice on wine.

We had a much needed two night break at the end of November. I chose The Pig as it looked like it would allow us to have a quiet, cosy and relaxing couple of days and I’m so glad I did. After unpacking in our lovely, spacious and pristine comfy luxe with terrace room, we started our stay with a cocktail in front of the woodburner in the bar area (great advice from the bar staff when I didn’t know what to choose!). Our evening meal on the first night was delicious, tasty and so good that I had the same main course on the second night (monkfish tail). The service was excellent, with attentive and smiling staff. On the second day we both treated ourselves to a massage with Harrie which was wonderful, relaxing and snug in the potting shed (with a heated bed which I just wanted to take home with me!!). While my husband was having his massage I settled into one of the cosy lounges (all with wood burners). The lady who served me my coffee was so kind, regularly checking to make sure the fire was still ablaze. Thank you. After an excellent and tasty lunch in the restaurant we went for a long walk, taking advice from the lovely young lady on reception who provided us with a map. That left us tired but happy and ready for another cocktail and a delicious evening meal. We were made to feel so welcome by the gentleman (sorry I don’t know his name) who signed us in for dinner on both nights that we really felt like part of the family. Finally, a word about the breakfasts. We had a choice of a large spread of breakfast items or something cooked. On both mornings we opted for the buffet spread as it was so delicious. The muffins were so tasty and the choice of granola, boiled eggs, toast, pastries, fruit etc was more than enough for us but the cooked food did look very tasty too. We’re so glad we chose The Pig, it provided just what we needed and we really hope to be back as soon as we can as we’d love to explore some more of the local beaches and walks.
