I switched wedding planners quite a bit in the process but the team at the resort gave myself and Matt a lovely wedding day and added lovely touches. Lots of planning with Lana and key details covered. It would be nice if the bridal suite was included with the package and the hotel accommodated this more to the bride. The rooms were quite hot as it was a heat wave but some key transitions of moving items across to rooms could of been smoother. The venue, food, drink and atmosphere was amazing. The venue was good value and we had the most memorable day with our family and friends. The hotel hosted our local Cornish by the sea wedding to a very high standard and accommodated requests made.

Polhawn Fort is quite simply the most fantastic place. It holds a very special place in our hearts, having been where we were married back in 1995, and returning 30 years later to celebrate our anniversary there was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely brilliant — always on hand, offering instant attention and support, and making everything feel effortless. Their warmth, professionalism and genuine care made the whole celebration run seamlessly and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Polhawn Fort is more than just a venue; it’s a place filled with meaning, history and love, and that feeling was just as powerful 30 years on. To be able to return and celebrate such a milestone anniversary, surrounded by loved ones and so many memories, was a privilege we’ll always treasure. Polhawn Fort continues to be a living part of our story, and we cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable place to celebrate love.

Well where do we start. This is the most beautiful venue. From the moment we booked through to our special day it just ran so smoothly and we had absolutely no worries at all as the Tunnels team are absolutely fantastic and we had no doubt we would have the best day ever, which we did! The views are just amazing. One reason we had no worries getting married here was because wether its raining or sunny the views are just as good and the view is incredible from inside the venue with floor to ceiling glass panels. So we really didn't need to worry either way. The day just ran so smoothly and everything was taken care of. Any worries or questions we had were answered and put us at ease right away! The food was absolutely amazing, literally the best. Even months on we still have people talking about our day and how incredible the venue was. Thankyou to Tunnels for one of the best days of our lives that we will cherish forever. This is a very special venue. If your thinking about booking dont delay as you definitely wont regret it!

Got married on 29th November and our Lusty Glaze wedding was beyond spectacular. It was everything that we wanted it to be... and more. We honestly wouldn't change a single thing. To be in that glorious setting, surrounded by the people we love, was just fabulous. The staff at Lusty are wonderful, every single one of them. Our guests keep raving on about how lovely ALL the staff were, how delicious the carvery was and about the beauty of the venue, of course. We had the winter wedding package with up to 60 day guests. The food was a two meat carvery and it was outstanding. Amazing photo opportunities and the wedding planning team were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and their communication was always quick, throughout the year of organising. Highly recommend Lusty Glaze.

Incredible venue in the gardens. A very much do it yourself venue but no limit to suppliers you can use and no corkage! Only small criticism would be I think they need to replace the floors as they have large scratches which makes it look a bit more budget.

Absolute gem of a place such a large venue to hold our Vow Renewals. When we met Lorraine she was fantastic at providing us with options on what we could do on the day . We had a company provide the decor which Lorraine is happy to provide details for and Tracy from The Perfect Package is amazing at what she does. The staff was fantastic on the day Adam the Dj played for the guests everyone had the most amazing day and night. Brilliant value for money ... honestly massive thank you to you all .

We had our wedding weekend at the beautiful carlton hotel on the 27th April 2024. All the hotel staff went above and beyond our expectations and our special day was flawess. All our guest comments on how, friendly, attentive and amazing hardworking every staff member was over the entire weekend. I would highly recommend having your wedding here the ceremony room is absolutely beautiful with sea views even if the weather isn't great the room is still big and bright. The food was excellent throughout the weekend and all guest had positive feedback. I would like ro make a special mention to Mark(special events manager) who organised our wedding from start to finish and how passionate he was ensuring our wedding went perfectly. He is a credit to the hotel.

Watermouth Cove Weddings was nothing short of breathtaking. From our first visit we knew it was the one and booked days later. The entire team went above and beyond to make our day feel truly magical — every detail was thought of, every moment felt cared for, and nothing was ever too much to ask. They embraced all of my witchy ideas with excitement and even let us ride our late father’s motorbike in, creating a moment we will treasure forever. The setting itself is stunning, but it’s the people who make it unforgettable. Zoe, Georgia & Sam had everything under control and planned to the finest detail even with a few last minute curve balls thrown in! We love the onsite accomodation and having all our nearest family onsite. Only improvement here for us would be slightly bigger accomodation to account for us big Irish families with loads of kids! Other than that everyone loved it and kept saying how lush it was. The bridal suite is spectacular and omg the views you wake up to! Massive thank you to the gorgeous Head Chef! Your food was absolutely delicious and felt never-ending! Thank you for letting us still have a BBQ and the scone cake… wow. What a showstopper! Another huge thank you to Linda who was just there at every turn making sure everything was ok and for those beautiful fruity rum punches! Everyone loved you and said how amazing you were. Thank you to all the lush bar staff you were incredible and kept us well watered! Thank you for embracing our Halloween party and crazy kids. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect venue or a more dedicated, warm-hearted team! Thank you so much Mr & Mrs Pertl xx
