Less than a 2-minute stroll from the beach, OYO Minerva Guesthouse offers free WiFi, a bar, and a games room with a billiards table and dartboard. Located in the seaside town of Newquay, the property is surrounded by shops and restaurants. Blue Reef Aquarium is 3 minutes' walk away. Our stay in this lovely guesthouse was superb! The location indeed was one of the best, near the beach as well as the town. The view was stunning! The rooms are all clean and well maintained. The breakfast was delicious! I have for a room upgrade and they accomodated us throughout. We'll definitely come back. Thanks to Margaret, her husband and the lovely Natalia 🙂

Some of the traditional rooms are in the original inn and some are in the modern annex. A full English breakfast is provided. Guests will find period features in their rooms and throughout the property. I LOVE this place and everything about it!!! Stayed here once before in 2006, and it is still the same great place to eat, drink, and be merry!!

Set in Padstow within 1.6 km of Brea Beach and 27 km of Newquay Train Station, Tidal Heights offers rooms with free WiFi. Boasting a housekeeping service, this property also provides guests with DVD player. Tintagel Castle is 36 km from the guest house and Truro Cathedral is 39 km away. Very clean, well kept and maintained. Lovely sizeable room and bathroom! The owner was super friendly and helpful and available when ever we needed help and information. It’s an easy, pleasant walk downhill into town. It felt safe even late at night.

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.

Located in Constantine, within 22 km of Lizard Lighthouse and 24 km of St Michael's Mount, Silverspring Farm En suite provides accommodation with a garden as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is set 31 km from Carbis Bay, 40 km from Newquay Train Station and 45 km from Minack Theatre. The guest house offers garden views and an outdoor pool. Super-cosy but spacious, clean room with lovely decorations and a private bathroom. I love the peaceful surroundings, beautiful ponies, friendly dogs, and the swimming pool at the property - which is a good add-on for summertime! The most important - host - is an absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful lady who really cares to make her guests at home and we really did! We will definitely come back when visiting Cornwall again!

Situated in Penzance, 300 metres from Penzance Promenade Beach, The Old Club features rooms with sea views and free WiFi. This recently renovated guest house is located 7.2 km from St Michael's Mount and 15 km from Minack Theatre. Lizard Lighthouse is 41 km from the guest house and Tate St Ives is 15 km away. Lovely building with lots of character. The room was very spacious, nicely renovated in an unusual way (the open plan bathroom/bedroom). Liked the location as it was right next to the Lidl store and in a quieter part of town.
