Britannia House Vintage B&B Cornwall

Host Karen made us feel very welcome. She was helpful and kind and went out of her way to provide us with a very early breakfast one day. The house has an area for guests to relax and read or watch tv and overall there was just such a relaxed and welcoming feel to our stay.

We knew our room was to be small and compact and it was exactly as advertised, so no complaints about that. But it did make the room one we didn’t want to (or couldn’t) stay in to relax. But, want to stress, that’s made very clear on the booking, so not a complaint at all.

Everything

Nothing

We loved our stay at Karen and Derek's B&B. The house is super cute and well located. The room was cosy, clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing and it was lovely to sit with the other guests at the same table so we could get to know them. Karen and Derek were a delight, such a lovely couple, they made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend and stay here again! :)

A warm welcome and very helpful host, who advised us about travelling from there to St Ives using the local railway. We were unaware that the proprietor did not serve meat. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a hearty vegetarian breakfast.

Our room was extremely small. We were aware that we had booked a budget room, but it was so small, there was nowhere to sit other than the bed, which was very low and with a very soft mattress. There was no bedside table on one side of the bed, so essentials like medication had to be put on the floor. There was nowhere to put the bags. The bathroom washbasin was too small to wash in, resulting in water ending up all over the floor. Our sleep was badly disrupted due to a smoke alarm going off in the property. It took some considerable time to sort the problem out. Whilst the proprietor apologised sincerely for this, nothing could be done to remedy our loss of sleep.
