Set in Scorrier, in a historic building, 23 km from Newquay Train Station, Goonearl Simply Stay is a guest house with a garden and barbecue facilities. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. Outdoor seating allows guests to sit outside and enjoy the good weather. This is a big property with 10 rooms on the second floor. No lift. The ground floor has many spaces for large and small gatherings. I particularly enjoyed the glassed-in patio area for a morning coffee and a read. It is very quiet and feels like being in the country. Well-equipped kitchen. Also has several small areas to prepare food or coffee/tea. This would be a great place to have a family reunion and book the whole place.

Situated just 28 km from St Michael's Mount, The Prince of Wales features accommodation in Helston with access to a garden, a bar, as well as private check-in and check-out. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 16 km from Lizard Lighthouse. The property itself was very well kept, I would say the pictures do it no Justice. I was pleasantly surprised to see how nicely decored the rooms were. Me and my partner would recommend this place to anyone. I found the rooms slightly smaller than most places but the cleanliness/decor and kitchenette certainly made up for it.
