What guests think

At The Top House Inn, reviewers consistently highlight friendly, accommodating staff, clean and comfortable rooms—often spacious with pleasant views—and a convenient, central Lizard location within easy walking distance of Lizard Point and coastal walks, making stays relaxed and practical.

Breakfast and evening meals are frequently praised, with comments about tasty options and generous portions. An on-site pub is noted, with one mention of live music; parking is available but one review described it as a tourist free-for-all. A few guests mention minor room wear, a misfitting door, or occasional noise from other rooms, though most find stays quiet. Overall, expect a comfortable base well suited to exploring the Lizard.

Location of hotel was nice although when they state parking it does not mention a free for all with all the tourists in the area. Tom was Comfortable except the door to the room does not fit correctly resulting in having to force shut to which leaves an approximate 50mm gap at bottom. I had to use pillows to block out noise. Evening meal was supposed to start at 1700hrs this did not actually start until 1730hrs. Ordered pot pie with chips and peas. I was kept waiting for nearly an hour before it arrived. When asking for a Vat receipt this proved a bit up much for the staff to which I still gave not received one. All in all I will not be staying again.

A friendly local pub with good service, nice food and comfortable rooms. Sadly we stayed in a ground floor room and had noisy people upstairs, not the pubs fault but frustrating and hard to sleep until late.

A one night stay in south Cornwall having stayed in north Cornwall previous nights. Beautiful clean room and bathroom but something missing to make it outstanding. Lovely decoration but lacking in pictures or plants and home comforts. Inn/Bar it's self seemed dingy and uninviting. Location wonderful.

A lovely, clean, good sized room. Very friendly welcome. If you just want to a place to just sleep for the night, this is ideal. Absolutely no noise from the pub below.

The ideal place to stay due to it's proximity to some very beautiful beaches. The stay was made by the really friendly and likeable staff. The room was clean but a bit tired and the shower cubicle needed a revamp. All in all, I would definitely stay again mainly due to the staff. I would prefer to have mugs for my morning cuppa as the cups provided were tiny!
