My stay was amazing from start to finish. So glad I booked in with Stephanie and Marvin. They are the loveliest couple who have lived here for many years and made a beautiful family home which they open to guests. Stephanie is a wonderful cook and hostess with a very kind heart and will treat you like family, not like a hotel guests. My room was perfectly clean and comfortable. The property is secluded and picturesque. The only “trouble” if you will is navigating the Cornish country roads if...

If you are interested in exploring Cornwall, this is a great location to do it from you are a short distance from the north and south coasts as well as the western end of the country. You have access to very good roads. On top of that, you will find yourself in a well appointed room being helped be an excellent staff. We’re vegetarians and we found very good meals.

For our 4 nights in Cornwall we stayed at a very quaint Bed and Breakfast in Truro. Centrally located, it was a great place to stay and "wagon wheel" our day trips. From there, relatively speaking (by Texas standards) you can easily drive to many towns, fishing villages, beaches and other sites. We visited, Port Isaac, Tintagel, St Ives, Penzance, Land's End, Porthcurno and Minack Theatre. The owner and inn keeper, June, her husband and gardener, Greg and housekeeper Melanie were so friendly,...

Clean room with excellent amenities and a good variety offered at breakfast. Our hosts were very helpful in every way possible. This is an English B&B, so don't expect modern / European hotel styles. With that caveat, overall excellent and a pleasantly comfortable bed.
The only bit of warning is that while there is a large public parking area 1.5 blocks away with a very good price for an entire week, finding a place can be a challenge. We were there outside of high season and still struggled in...

This property was simply wonderful. The owners were kind and helpful, the room was gorgeous, the location was close to everything you want to see in Newquay and transport, and the breakfast was excellent.
Seriously. Stay here. ❤️

Modern, spacious room and bath, new decor. Comfortable bed and very clean. Toilet was noisy (old structure needs complex system) but added to the entertainment.
Tavern was great! Food delicious. Great ales. Bartender (Taylor) was terrific.
Inn location is across from the ferry. Mt. Saint Michael nearby.

Amazing hotel, quality of the room was exceptional, we ate in the Chapel restaurant and found the food to be lovely. Would definitely recommend this gem of a hotel. Sadly we saw no ghosts.

Wonderful 6-day stay in the self-service apartment. Staff is so kind and helpful. Parking lot for hotel guests is large and easy to get in and out of. Hotel is steps away from the area bus stop and the walk down to the St. Michael's Mount causeway. Restaurants and shops nearby all definitely worth visiting (especially the hotel restaurant Cutty Sark and the hotel bar). Would absolutely stay again!

I wish we had booked more than one night! The staff were all very nice, friendly and super accommodating. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The views can't be beat, especially from the roof bar. The food was also very good. The only piece of advice I have is if you are using GPS set your destination to the train station. If you you try to use the hotel name or address it will lead you down some very tiny, twisty streets.
