The hotel is on the main street of a pictureque Cornish fishing village and has its own gated car park across the street from the hotel. The narrow street is not noisy because it is 'access only' for cars. The place is clean and tastefully decorated and is run by the friendly owners and their equally friendly staff. No food is offered except a very good breakfast menu which is waitress served. An 'honesty bar' is available. This was our second visit to the Claremont and we would be very happy to stay again if we return to Polperro.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Polperro. Very friendly greeting by Becky. She was Bubbly and very helpful and informative about the hotel and Polperro. We have mobility issues so when we were told we had bookef the top floor (3 flights) she found us a lower room and helped with the luggae ustairs. Nice room and lovely lounge and breakfast room. It was great to get a drink at the honesty bar and sit on the lovely terrace above the road and watch the world go by. Only downside was that the toilet kept blocking in our room (room 2).

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Claremont. On arrival the access to the car park was straightforward and once parked up we were greeted with a lovely receptionist who checked us in. The room was very clean and lovely decor. Bathroom was modern and clean with a bath and shower. We had a dog with us and the doggy welcome pack was well received. The location is perfect for walking further into Polperro from with lots of pubs and gift shops. Breakfast at the Claremont really was a highlight. Diane served us every morning and she was a real credit to the hotel. We were greeted by her every morning and made to feel very welcome and she made a fuss of Molly our dog too. Breakfast options were brilliant and set us up nicely for the day. We will definitely be returning to the Claremont! A really lovely hotel in a gorgeous seaside town.

Off peak stay for 5 days. Excellent hotel and service from arrival to departure was first class. Breakfast was varied and cooked extremely well. Room was very clean and bed comfortable. Ideal location for walking and having a private car park opposite the hotel is a real bonus. Only thing to note is there are no lifts so cases need to be carried up to your room. Not a problem for us however. Facilities like wi-fi was good also system for getting a drink in the lounge. Staff were excellent. Well worth a visit.

The hotel is clean and well maintained. Our breakfast waitress for three out of our four days was fantastic. Helpful and friendly. The breakfast menu was extensive, so everyone should be able to find something that they like. The food itself was average. The poached eggs on the Eggs Benedict were overcooked, and the bacon had some sort of white residue on it (congealed fat I think). This happened several times, so not just a one-off. The room sizes (square footage) are listed on their website, so maybe shame on me for not realizing what 325 square feet really feels like. The room was clean and there was a small wardrobe to store clothes. but there is no room to store luggage and still be able to walk around the bed. We struggled with the tiny bathroom. The shower is about the size of a telephone box so you cannot turn around, raise your arms, or bend over in the shower. Very uncomfortable. The sink was tiny (roughly 25 x 14 cm) and awkwardly mounted sideways with the faucet on the left side. You could not bend over the sink without bumping your head on the small glass shelf. It's great that they have their own reserved parking just across the street, but if you're driving anything larger than a standard saloon car or small SUV it's a challenge to maneuver around other vehicles when moving in or out of the parking spaces. Overall this place has several highly desirable features, but be aware that the rooms have little or no storage and are small.

Third time we have stayed here. Very convienient, nice breakfast, friendly staff. The let down was Room 12 which has restricted head room which is a particular issue if you wake at night. Was not aware of this when booking though now ive looked at reviews, others have commented on the same issue. Will definately stay again, just not in that room.

Hotel right in the heart of the village , great for the harbour , pubs and eateries . Only downside for us was the room in the attic number 12 , not for us the staff called it the marmite room you either love it or hate it and we were the latter , to much pine a very small toilet next to the bed and dated .

The hotel is in an excellent position for everything. The harbour, plenty of shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants, lovely walks are all there. There is a ‘tuk tuk’ that takes you back and forth through the village for those with limited walking and a bus runs at the top of the village to Looe and various other places. You can also get boat trips to Looe and Fowey or half an hour trips around the area. It’s perfect for a weeks stay and is a working fisherman’s harbour with an interesting museum about smuggling and bygone times. We loved Polperro

Lage perfekt im Ortskern. Ein großes Plus ist der kostenfreie Parkplatz direkt am Hotel. Freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstück. Leider war unser Zimmer unterm Dach sehr klein, das Queen-size-Bett eher schmal und der Ausblick enttäuschend. Die Beschreibung traf jedoch weitgehend zu. Beim nächsten Aufenthalt würden wir eher ein anderes Zimmer wählen.
