The Radar Station Reviews

Comfortable, clean and warm accommodation. Lovely sea view. Excellent Sunday lunch at the Fort Restaurant an, good bar and a jolly good quiz night on Wednesday evenings. Would I return?.......Yes.

The electric shower needs upgrading,the sprung mattresses need upgrading, head boards would change the appearance and comfort in the bedrooms,this is a nice property with stunning sea views ,I think if these improvements were made in would make for a better stay.

Radar Station is perfect for holidaying in a beautiful part of Cornwall. A wonderful historic location with outstanding views. All home comforts indoors with outside seatingdining area and of course the hot tub, checked each day for safety. The bar and restaurant is welcoming with delicious food, huge portions, for any time of day and friendly staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. The beach over the road needs good fitness as steep but there's a bus stop outside the site that regularly takes you to easily accessible beaches and Plymouth, or a 10 minutes drive. Perfect.

Overall a great place to stay, only minor things which were irritating but it has direct access to beach, warm pool, lovely friendly bar, food was lovely too. . A few irritations... 1No direct access to wrap around decking to use Hot tub...bit of a pain but didn't stop us using it which was lovely 2Furniture a bit dated in bedrooms but again didn't stop us sleeping in comfort. 3we would suggest taking a tourch as there is no lights on decking, to light the way in the dark when using hot tub.. 4It could do with a fire exit window.. only one entranceexit. 5Water flow from shower poor, and the shower bar fell from the wall.. 2 Adults Easter Break Away 2024
