Goonearl Simply Stay

Scorrier

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Goonearl Simply Stay offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This guest house features free private parking and a shared kitchen. The property provides barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture. Marnie was a wonderful host and offered great suggestions for day trips. Goonearl is centrally located for all the wonderful attractions. The guest house itself has great communal cooking facilities and comfortable shared lounges and dining. Complimentary coffee tea and pastries and fruit was a nice touch. Good to have a washing machine to use to. The bedroom was comfortable and very clean and the balcony looked over the beautiful garden. As a single traveller I felt safe and comfortable. This would be a great place for a group booking with lots of board games and books to read. A haven to get back to after a day out sight seeing. Only 2 km to the local beach..

The Prince of Wales

Helston

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 & Heritage Centre. This was a lovely place to stay, it had a very home like feel. While I don't eat breakfast there was plenty of food options with teas etc etc. I would've stopped off in the pub downstairs if I hadn't already had plans, it was very cosy in there with a wood burner. Though I did get some useful tips from the barmaid (Co-owner Michelle perhaps). The location is out of the way (nice for peace & quiet) but not far away being within 20mins of Helston. I seen other reviews complaining about the access; roads to and parking - ignore, this is not a problem becuase I did it all in a LWB van, a squeeze definitely but done. So, you'll be fine in a car so long as you're a component driver. I definitely recommend this place and it'll be on my list, should I ever return to Cornwall.
