As a family living miles apart, we always meet at the Mount Edgecumbe. It's welcoming, dog friendly in the marquee, and the staff and food are great. Very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

A great location amongst the greenery and Rocks. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Was disappointed with the food tho. Had Sunday Roast and had much better in other places. It was ok but I felt like something was missing from it

Conveniently located hotel in a quiet area near the common, within walking distance to the Pantiles and town centre. Rooms clean, tidy and have a comfortable bed. Staff friendly and service good. Excellent choice for breakfast, and dinner with well cooked food.

Beautiful hotel in an ideal location, within a lovely walk of The Pantiles and town centre. The room was very comfortable and dinner in the evening was delicious. Service was great and food was superb. Breakfast in the morning was also delicious.
