Breakfast

The Burgh Island Hotel boasts an exceptional breakfast spread that has guests raving about the food. Many describe it as fabulous, wonderful and fantastic with superb and exceptional food being served. Guests rave about the Champagne breakfast with some saying it's amazing. Reviewers also enjoyed great breakfast portions with one mentioning that they were at just the right size. Breakfast is served in Nettlefold and the setting is comfortable with a nice choice of dishes. While a few guests found some limited options, the majority were extremely happy with what was on offer. However, some guests felt that the poor breakfast offering, such as a meagre Full Devon Breakfast with only one piece of bacon and no sausages, was a letdown. Overall, the excellence and quality of the breakfast overshadowed any disappointments.

Dinner

The dinner experience at the Burgh Island Hotel garnered a mixed bag of reviews from guests. Many had praise for the excellent and beautifully presented food with some even describing it as exceptional and first-class. The black-tie dinner with a jazz band on Monday evening was a fantastic experience, while others were disappointed with the limited menu choices or the expensive nouvelle cuisine option. Despite the high cost of meals in the hotel, some found the a la carte restaurant to be better value while others preferred the Pilchard Inn for good food and service. However, some guests were disappointed with the limited food options, slow service or the quality of the dishes with some describing the food as too much show and not enough flavor. Overall, opinions were split, but guests seemed to agree that the dinner experience at Burgh Island Hotel had its highlights and drawbacks.

Rooms

Burgh Island Hotel is a unique experience that captures the elegance of the Roaring Twenties with impeccably designed decor and furnishings that put a permanent smile on guests' faces. From every room, whether it's the small cozy ones or the spacious suites, there is a fabulous view of the sea and the mainland. The rooms are beautifully restored with period details wonderfully captured and every room is named after famous personalities from the era. The hotel, a 1920's/1930's property, is full of art deco features and the design details are exceptional. However, some rooms are starting to look tired following the pandemic and there may be small but notable issues with room furnishings. The accommodations and furnishings may look tired and guests may experience small double beds and tiny bathrooms. Some rooms are advertised as having bathrooms in the bedrooms, which is not to everyone's liking. There may also be a lack of adequate facilities in some rooms. But the Eddyson suite and The Cunard are simply stunning and feature a separate sitting room, bedroom and bathroom with balconies providing constantly evolving scenic views. The bedding may be tired, but the comfortable surroundings and relaxing bath make up for it. There may be room problems, such as the en-suite, wooden floor and fly problem, but the rooms are very clean, cozy and the view from our window is entertaining. Overall, Burgh Island Hotel is a fabulous hotel full of period details and unique location with amazing Art Deco decor.
