"Great space that serves as a wonderful retreat from the everyday. Cosy and perfect for two people, it has great access to the south of Cornwall but also serves as a good base to go and explore the rest of Cornwall if you're willing to drive. Space was nice and quiet and you'll be able to properly switch off. Just be aware that the road down to the property is a little narrow so don't be speeding your way through that country lane!"

"The property was quaint and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and some nice cooking supplies. The welcome gifts were a nice surprise and delicious. The washing area in the shed was great, sadly the clothesline was broken but the dryer worked perfectly. The back garden was very private and pretty. One downside was the windows were quite dirty and full of spider webs. The location is good if you have a car as no busses come to the area and taxis get a bit expensive. On a plus...

Top Helston Hotel Reviews

Housel Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent place to stay. I managed to find the hotel easily by using google maps. I was able to park my car in one of the couple of empty spaces available (however I visited in the end of September, I'm not sure if I would've found a space in peak time, unless there was additional parking capacity I didn't spot). I was greeted by name by a lovely and warm staff member on reception, who took the time to provide a tour of the hotel and where my room was located, along with providing some local hotspot tips and recommendations. The room was lovely and clean and just as the photo showed (but could do with a re-paint). It came with excellent Cornwall tea hot drink options and some very useful complimentary ear buds (which was useful given there was a storm that night, and you can hear the lighthouse, which isn't too far away). The hotel is right on the coastal path with stunning views of the sea and lighthouse, and access to a private bay in low tide. The food in The Terrace restaurant in the evening and for breakfast was truly incredible with excellent service at all times - I would highly recommend eating here at least once! There's a great snug area to make the most of the sea views and enjoy a drink/book/games which was a lovely touch. All staff were incredibly helpful, professional and friendly. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe staying here and would definitely recommend to others."

The Paris Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely room with sea views from each of our two windows. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a table for an evening meal and this was very good. The location of the hotel was great. You can walk from the hotel on the coastal path to St Keverne (about 2 miles) although this is very challenging. However after we'd walked on this path, we found out there was actually an easier path which we'll walk along next time. We might even get to St Keverne as this time we turned round after about 45 mins."

Polurrian on the Lizard

10/10 Excellent

"Good room. Had a seaside view room. Room was a bit dated but still lovely. Good bathroom. Pillows were too soft for my personal preference. Staff was amazing. Had a good chuckle with a waitress who was there in the evening, and then the morning. Food was delicious. Very tasty. Cocktails and drinks were delicious. Spa was great, very relaxing massage."

The Old Post Office

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful BnB, located in a lovely spot. I enjoyed the scones or pastry for breakfast. We had the best room with a great view- felt very special to stay in this old post office. Lovely housekeeper and it was nice chatting to the other guest over breakfast."

Tresowes Green Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Wow — what an amazing week we had in The Cottage! The cottage had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and so well thought out. Leslie and Johnny were wonderful hosts — thank you for a fantastic week. We will definitely be back!"
