EVERYTHING! Our stay at OYO Minerva Guesthouse exceeded our expectations. The owners were lovely and very helpful, the accommodations themselves were spot on, and breakfast was great. We just wanted a 'nice and comfortable' homebase for exploring cornwall and they went above and beyond. Not a bad word to say. If the details work for your trip, you should stay here!

Josh United States of America

The owners and staff were amazing. They were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean with a complete recent remodel. The room, bathroom, and dining area are all very nice and clean. When we entered and exited the hotel we always saw at least one of the staff and they were always asking if we needed anything and were very responsive when we did. The wifi is very good and consistent. Johnny cooked breakfast for us every morning and it was very good. The owners, Owen and Margaret were very nice and helpful as were Natalia and Sharon who maintained the room and served breakfast. I can't say enough about how nice everyone was and how nice the room is. We had a family room with a view of the beach. Thanks again for everything. We will be back!

Jason United States of America

Dan United Kingdom

Everything - a lovely and convenient spot and stay.

Quentin United Kingdom

We rented a triple room, and it was our "roomiest" yet on our trip through Cornwall. The bathroom was large and had good water pressure. WiFi was strong. Breakfast was also very delicious. The location offered easy walking through city center and down to the harbor. Though we did have to park offsite, The manager offered clear driving directions to the car park, and the price for overnight parking was minimal. Would recommend staying here again.

Brenna United States of America

Spacious room, close to amenities and the beach. The guest house was well maintained and clean throughout. Hosts gave a warm welcome and we friendly. Will visit again in the future.

Sunil United Kingdom

A lovely atmosphere all round. Great hosts. Fantastic staff. A spotless accomodation.
