Our room was absolutely adorable and had everything you need for a short stay. Very comfy.

Jette Germany

Perfect location, we stayed in the wood cabin and it was very comfortable, cosy and warm. Bed was comfortable. Good supply of tea and coffee. There is even a fridge/freezer. Cooked breakfast was amazing. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

we stayed in the shepherd’s hut in the garden . it was really clean and cosy . it was well planned inside to maximise the space and had everything we needed for a short break in Cornwall . the breakfasts taken in the main house were gorgeous with lots of choice and lovely helpful staff .

Angela United Kingdom

Everything! From the place ,so well decorated and well looked after . Clean and professional staff. They made me feel home and treated me like a member of the family. I have never been treated so well in all the hotel and B&B I have visited ! My staying was amazing . Food delicious and loved my room . I would high recommend this place to everyone . Walking distance from Carbis bay beach which is breath taking . A walking path which you can get easily to St Ives . Such a beautiful place to visit . Well connected with the train to St Erth .which you can get a train to London . Or by bus which the bus stop is just opposite the B&B. I will definitely come back next year !
