The Britannia Inn & Waves Restaurant features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in St Austell. This 4-star inn offers a bar. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.4 km from Crinnis Beach. The breakfast selection was unexpected; I had smoked salmon and superbly cooked scramble eggs. The lounge is very comfortable and the dining room is spacious. A guest information binder is very comprehensive including sightseeing opportunities with directions.

Located in the seaside town of Newquay, the property is surrounded by shops and restaurants. Blue Reef Aquarium is 3 minutes' walk away. Lovely b&b just by the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owners were also very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay again if back in the area and recommend to others.

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.
