The Cottage Bed & Breakfast

Polperro

Boasting a garden and views of quiet street, The Cottage Bed & Breakfast is a guest house set in a historic building in Polperro, 500 metres from Polpero Beach. It is set 1.8 km from Lekerock Cove Beach and offers private check-in and check-out. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Lovely character property, the room we had was great, the owners, Simon and Maz are a lovely and helpful couple who made us feel very welcome indeed and made us feel at home, breakfast was excellent and Maz's home made marmalade and lemon curd was to die for, so tasty, if there is a down side, I'd say it was that there was no parking at the property due to its location, so it was a fair walk to the carpark, but having said that, we had a free parking pass provided by the owners which saved us £40 in parking fees 👍couldn't fault the place tbh,.👍😉

Uno - St Ives

St Ives

Set in St Ives and only 700 metres from Porthmeor Beach, Uno - St Ives offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated homestay is located 800 metres from Porthminster Beach and 1.1 km from Bamaluz Beach. The homestay features family rooms. Everything about Uno is great! Brilliant views from the exterior to interior. We stayed in the Stargazer room, it was spacious and clean and neat and weather you're in bed or sitting on the comfy sofa, the views were fantastic!! Lovely! Brilliant! Breathtakingly beautiful! 😍 ❤ just Looking out over the cathedrals and out towards St.Ives Bay. Views are so beautiful at night too and peaceful atmosphere 😌 Biggest square rainhead shower ever was a bonus! And the room has good skylight features and roof windows so could open them for fresh cool air anytime of the day/night. Owners were both lovely and friendly and helpful. Stayed an extra night as we couldn't get enough of the views from that beautiful room. Comfortable bed too!! We liked that town was only a 2min walk down the footpath from Uno House and the bay/beach side only a walk away as well from Uno. Some great restaurants by the seaside!! You know your car is safe n sound parked at Uno house so didn't have to worry bout that! You won't regret spending a night at Uno. We certainly didn't. We loved every bit of being there in a peaceful, calm and relaxed environment with gorgeous views inside and out! ❤❤
