Pier House
"Fantastic hotel. Staff went above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble."
The Ship Inn
"Staff were amazing,very welcoming and helpful.Would definitely stay again."
The Kingswood
"There was no information pack in the room, which we consider to be essential. Because of this, we had no idea what check-out time was in the morning. We checked on-line and there were two different times of 10.30 and 11.00, depending on what site you looked at. In addition, a lovely breakfast menu was provided in the room, but no indication of what time breakfast was served. These are only small issues, in what was otherwise a fabulous stay. The room and facilities were first class and were great value for money"
Rashleigh Arms
"Very good staff, nice food, room spacious and clean. Fresh milk and cookies for the room were a nice touch."
Holiday Inn Express Bodmin - Victoria Junction by IHG
"Very nice Holiday Inn Express right next to the services, south of Bodmin. Very clean, great breakfast, excellent staff, surprisingly quiet given the proximity to the dual carriageway. Very warm room with no opening windows, and shower water pressure a little on the low side, £6 for overnight parking but positives easily outweigh the negatives. Used as an overnight stop whilst visiting the Eden Project, about a 20 minute drive away."
Mevagissey Bay Hotel
"Views to die for whether you are in the lounge, dining room or bar. Very clean everywhere and all the staff are very pleasant, helpful and determined to make your stay a great one, The icing on the cake will always be for us The owners and hosts Roy and Sam. We have travelled all of Europe and beyond on our motorcycle for many years and not come across 2 people more welcoming, funny and totally intent on making your stay fantastic. Thanks Roy and Sam for the interesting and hilarious nights in the bar and thanks for just being you. We were genuinely sad to go home."
The Waterwheel Inn
"Lovely helpful staff, meals were excellent good choice. Lovely touch at breakfast of homemade banana bread, marmalade."
Gwyndra House B&B
"Mike and Adelaide were very accommodating. My rooms were very clean, large, and comfortable. Great location"
Pinetum Garden Cottages
"Fabulous stay , will definitely be back"
