Guests say
Lobster Pot in Truro offers a delightful stay with stunning views and a central location. Guests appreciate the quietness, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. The property's parking is noted as challenging but manageable, and the steep access may not suit everyone. Some maintenance issues were reported but were generally addressed promptly.
The property is generally kept clean, though there were comments about a full vacuum cleaner and stained mattress cover. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a trend.
The location is highly praised for its great views and central position, making it convenient for guests to explore the area. The steep slope access is noted, which may be a consideration for some.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the property quiet at night. However, some guests mentioned a preference for larger beds and found the single beds a bit soft.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and excellent showers. However, there were several reports of maintenance issues such as leaks and a lack of instructions for appliances.
While guests mentioned receiving a bottle of Prosecco and a teapot as gestures of goodwill, there is not enough information to assess overall thoughtfulness as a consistent offering. It should be noted that such gifts are gestures of goodwill and not guaranteed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lobster Pot. Everything was lovely. The only comments I have are - a few more teaspoons and wine glasses would be nice. There were only 2 teaspoons and 3 wine glasses. A corkscrew would also be helpful.Plus a couple more dining chairs. We were on holiday with our family in a different house and when I invited them round for lunch some of us had to sit on the sofa and eat.All that said I would return..

When we arrived we found a message on the sink in the main en suite asking us not to use the sink! There was a small en suite in the other bedroom but it was a bit of a nuisance as we chose the larger bedroom to sleep in rather than twin beds in the other room. A plumber turned up without warning on Monday morning and I had to ask him to wait 10 minutes, whereupon we didn’t see him again that day! It seems that we were contacted by the office in St Mawes but we don’t answer unnamed calls. Later Rhys from your office came and was so apologetic and gave us a bottle of Prosecco and asked if he there was anything else he could help with.I said the that we would like a teapot ! The plumber did come again and all was repaired and when we called into the office Rhys gave us a new teapot and we had a helpful discussion about the recycling. Rhys was very considerate and helpful. The double bed in the larger bedroom was comfortable but a king size bed would have suited us better.The view from the living room upstairs was a delight every day.
