"Off the beaten path."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 28, 2013
The owners could not have been nicer. They were warm and outgoing and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We spent New Years Eve at the House. The husband, a gormet chef, prepared a New Years Eve dinner that was extraordinary!! A traditional English country side home. Small rooms but spotless. We would return!!!
"Wonderful weekend getaway"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 22, 2012
When planning our current trip, my husband said that he'd never been on the Atlantic coast and wanted to see it. I found the Wellington Hotel through hotels.com, and it looked nice so I booked it. Best. Decision. Ever. The hotel is wonderful, the staff were extremely friendly and attentive, the room combined old-fashioned charm with a very modern en-suite bathroom, and the location is stunning. Also a big selling point is the hotel's chef, who provided us with an incredible dinner and luscious desserts, with tea served in the warm and inviting loungee. My only warning is that the hotel doesn't have elevators and the rooms are two flights up, so be aware that you will be climbing stairs. if you don't have a problem with that, you're guaranteed a wonderful stay.

"Charming Cornwall B&B"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 27, 2012
Once we had found our way down the narrow Cornwall lanes, we were very pleased with this B&B. The nearby Portscatho was just the sort of tiny coastal village we had hoped to find in Cornwall. It's a bit out-of-the-way, down narrow, hedge-row-lined lanes, but Trewithian Farm is a lovely place with pleasant hostess and fine English breakfast.
"Newquay, Cornwall"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 19, 2012
We enjoyed our stay at the Pine Lodge. The owners were very helpful. They gave us great directions and offered good suggestions for things to do. Breakfast was included and tasty. It was a bit away from the action but that worked for us and we loved Porth Beach. We would recommend and will stay there again.

This relatively remote, wild upland area attracts walkers searching the highest points of Cornwall, namely the tors (rock outcrops) of Rough Tor and Brown Willy. The main settlements, Camelford and Liskeard ('lis-kard') are pleasant, sleepy towns. Visitor attractions include Bodmin Jail, Jamaica Inn (immortalised by Daphne du Maurier) and Lanhydrock House and gardens, one of the finest late 19th-century houses in England.

"Convenient for Bodmin"
The guesthouse is in a pretty location in Lanivet about three miles from Bodmin. I received a very warm welcome and a pot of tea within minutes of arriving. Although the decor was a bit dated, the room was clean and comfortable. The guesthouse does not do evening meals butthere is a small bar in the lounge. A post office, pub, Spar and fish and chip […] shop are all within walking distance. Breakfast was excellent. A good choice for touring the surrounding area or if working in Bodmin Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

What a lovely couple who run this guest house and an amazing breakfast! We chose this one as it is central to most places in cornwall. Padstow and Port Issac, Bodmin and St Austell.

Friendly welcome when we arrived, absolutely amazing room, we got the garden room which has the stand alone bath. Very clean and up to date inside - comfortable bed - slept very well due to it being so quiet at night which was great. Lovely choice of breakfast in the morning - lady that seems to be in charge is very helpful - giving you places of interest […] to go around the area.

"The good reviews are spot on"
I booked this hotel because it's an ex-Abbey, and it had good reviews. We arrived on a sunny day and the owner took us on a mini-tour and gave us a potted history; the building is 600 years old. The sign for the hotel is really small; it's easy to miss. The room was beautiful and well-appointed; despite being next to a busy road, it was quiet and really […] comfortable. We slept soundly and didn't want to leave! The only fault is that there is nothing around the hotel; we were there on a Saturday night and Bodmin was empty. There didn't look like a lot of options for dinner. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Fab B&B!"
We had a superior room for the weekend and that meant an extremely comfortable four poster bed! It was sooooo hard to get out of it in the morning to go and visit the places we'd planned to see. The shower was excellent too with a very powerful flow. The landlady was lovely and always ready to help with anything we needed. Very good breakfast too! Great […] location if you have a car as kind of in the middle of the region. Those 2 days were so nice that we decided to go back next year on a proper holiday and we will be requesting the same room! I would recomment this place without any kind of reservation!

"Peaceful and interesting location close to Bodmin"
I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Bodmin area and stayed for 3 nights. This large B&B is family run and they were extremely helpful when I arrived. The building and setting is very beautiful and is steeped in history. Although a little dated, my room was large, very clean and well appointed and the bed was extremely comfortable. There […] are no facilities for lunchtime or evening meals other than sandwiches, but the breakfast was excellent. The B&B has a large breakfast room and a comfortable lounge and licensed bar area. It is a short walk into the nearest village with local shops, pub and fish and chip restaurant. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definately recommend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Little hidden Treasure"
This is a terrific little B&B, with over 500yrs of History that comes with for free. It may be small, but it is a giant in character. The rooms are very clean, very neat & tidy with a sense of personal pride attached to them. It is central to where ever you wish to go, being tucked away just off the A30. Also it is convienent for forays into the wilds, […] like trying to find" The Crown" The Landlady has a wealth of information & advice to share. All in all, a very nice & pleasant couple of days, the meals were hot, varied & plenty of it. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I would recommend a stay there with out a doubt, & hopfully will be back there again in the not too distant future. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"St Benets - comfortable and convenient"
We had tickets for a concert at the Eden Project and stayed here for 2 nights as it was convenient (20min drive) and more resonable than hotels by the coast. Room 3 has twin beds pushed together was really comfortable and had everything we needed and expected (tv with all the digital channels, FREE Wi-Fi, and tea/coffee including herbal options). It's […] a family run business and they are very welcoming - Carol especially makes a point of talking to you about your stay, offering suggestions of where to visit, and generally being extremely helpful. Breakfast was great - fresh fruit, cereals, croissants, and a full English option. The only suggestion I would make wolud be to spend a little more of the soft furnishings to make it more luxurious but this is personal taste and it is still a great stay. The village of Lanivet is a 10min walk - small and not hugely pretty but convenient and we had a good meal at the local friendly pub. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Eine wundervolle Zeit im St Benets Abbey"
Wir haben hier 3 Nächte verbracht um Cornwall zu erkunden und es war wirklich traumhaft. Wir hatten ein wundervolles Zimmer, mit einem riesigen gemütlichen Bett. Die Einrichtung ist stilgerecht, alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es ist trotz des Alters alles sauber. Die Familie hat uns sehr liebevoll aufgenommen. Wir haben eine Führung durch das […] Abbey bekommen und es war immer jemand da für Fragen oder ähnliches. Das Frühstück war auch wirklich wundervoll. Für jeden einzelnen Gast wird sein gewünschtes Frühstück frisch zubereitet und es war sehr lecker. Das Ganze findet in einfach fantastischen Räumlichkeiten statt. Dieses Hotel hat definitiv mehr als nur 5 Sterne verdient, denn es hat wirklich alles nicht nur gestimmt, es war excellent! Und das alles in dieser sehr besonderen Atmosphäre. Wir waren sehr traurig, als wir weiterziehen mussten, aber wir hoffen, dass uns unsere Reisen irgendwann wieder hierher verschlagen werden. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
