Accommodation

This 17th century complex is centred around a courtyard on a site mentioned in the Domesday Book, run by a hospitable third generation Cornish farming family and featured in Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay in Britain. Evening meals are available in the splendid dining room with home produced ingredients. A swimming pool, sauna and games room are available for guests. A short walk brings you to the secluded Colona Beach, ideal for a swim and even nearer is the Rising Sun pub in the village of Portmellon. Mevagissey is about a mile away. In a historic barn conversion just completed there are 5 single and 1 double rooms all ensuite. In the farmhouse itself there is an ensuite double, one double and one twin both with private bathroom.

Virtually on the coastal footpath, the Llawnroc Inn is in the picturesque fishing village of Gorran Haven. The Inn is comfortable and well equipped situated close to the village centre. There are 7 en suite double/twin bedrooms each with TV and a courtesy tray - and a sea view. There is a Residents Lounge and terrace garden. Bar meals are served or you can choose an a la carte meal in the non smoking dining area. There is an excellent selection of real ales, the Inn is included in the 2003 Good Pub Guide.

An example is Palm Tree House in a Victorian building close to Truro city centre but in a quiet location with a magnificent view of the Cathedral. Although not en-suite, all rooms have central heating, tea and coffee making facilities, television, hair dryers, radio and alarm clocks. As a family run business you can rest assured of a very warm welcome and excellent home cooking.

We use a number of hotels in Mevagissey such as the Seapoint (pictured), Spa, Tremarne and Valley Park. Guests here have the advantage of being in the centre of an attractive small fishing town with a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Boat trips, deep sea fishing and boat hire are all available from the harbour. Bathing beaches nearby.
In Truro our guests have stayed at the Carlton Hotel a short walk from the biggest concentration of shops, restaurants and pubs in the county. Truro has a cathedral, concert hall and multi screen cinema.
