Patrick van den Aakster, a manager at Corendon Amsterdam New-West in the Netherlands, revealed how guests can be taken by surprise by some of the free goods.

He told : "During my time at the front desk, a guest checking out mentioned he urgently needed to find a convenience store because he had forgotten his toothbrush and hadn’t brushed his teeth in four days.

"I informed him that we actually provide complimentary toothbrushes at the front desk.

"He was surprised and admitted he hadn’t thought to ask.”

Even though it's just a stone's throw away from the popular seaside of Falmouth, Hotel Meudon is described as a "secluded paradise"; on its website.

The hotel's best feature is its surroundings in the Cornish countryside.

Packed with plant life from Cornwall, the valley gardens are a winding maze of footpaths that lead to the hotel's private beach, Bream Cove.

The sheltered cove gives walkers direct access to the South West Coast Path and Rosemullion Headland.

And the hotel is also set to expand its offering after plans were put forward to build six lodges on the property.

The plans also included a 20m outdoor heated infinity-edged swimming pool and a casual dining restaurant.

In the mean time, you can book a room at the hotel, any of which have sea views.
