The Britannia Inn & Waves Restaurant 4 stars

Par

The Britannia Inn & Waves Restaurant features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Par. This 4-star inn features free WiFi and a bar. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and dry cleaning services. Remodeled from top to bottom with the utmost taste. I was impressed with the level of quality of everything in the room for the price of the room. They really chose the best of everything. The bathroom and shower were heavenly. The restaurant was good, the breakfast was unbelievable. Service was excellent. All in all, super impressed with the place, that felt like a 4 star hotel right after refurbishment. We'll be back

Lansdowne Simply Stay

Redruth

Set 26 km from Newquay Train Station, Lansdowne Simply Stay offers a garden, and accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. It is located 28 km from St Michael's Mount and offers a shared kitchen. The guest house features family rooms. The rooms are simply great. The person that arrange the hotel had a great taste and feeling for what is nice and cosy. The kitchen is full blown and very good equipped. We basically cooked there our dinner. All for a great breakfast is around, only get some ground coffee if you prefer to use the french press over the UK standard instant coffee. And if you need any tips what to do, ask any of the staff. The two ladies are pretty awesome and thanks to them we visited several sites in Cornwall we would have sure missed (thanks again to Nik!).
