St Austell

"This accomodation is amazing, however if you are taking a pet dog you need to know that the beach/local paths do not allow dogs between end of March to October. Not clear in hotels.com info. We walked from the local path down towards the beach saw the sign saying no dogs on the beach so walked by the quay side- unbeknown to us due to poor signage was also no dogs, only to be aggressive confronted by a nasty local man. Put a bit of a downer on being in such a nice property so close to beach."

Honeysuckle Cottage

"My wife and I had a lovely stay in Charlestown at Honeysuckle Cottage for 5 nights. The house is well equipped and 10 minutes walk from the famous historic harbour which we were visiting for the first time. The nearest pub is even closer. There is limited parking outside the cottage but plenty of free street parking nearby. As it was, we were lucky and only once could not park near the cottage. There is a dehumidifier in the kitchen. It should be pointed out that this needs emptying of water...

Top St Austell Hotel Reviews

The Kingswood

10/10 Excellent

"We found this hotel excellent. It’s recently been completely refurbished to a very high standard. The staff were very friendly and approachable. Wr had a deluxe room which was clean and the bed very comfortable, unlike every other hotel bed I’ve slept in. I slept soundly from the every first night. The hotel is well situated for daily excursions in the local area and further afield and the hotel staff were always on hand with useful suggestions of where to go and what to see, if needed. I would certainly recommend staying at Kingswood. We will book to stay there the next time we are in Cornwall."

The Arches B&B

10/10 Excellent

Pier House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful old world building with lovely rooms, bar the bathroom being upstairs. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good especially the breakfast. Very disappointed that they had a special curry and pint offer where you couldn't have and alternative drink and when we ordered the curry anyway we were charged £20 without the beer wheras it was £15 with the beer!"

Carlyon Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have visited this hotel on a number of occasions and the service, friendliness and professionalism of the staff remains consistently excellent. We also like that management staff are visible, accessible and approachable. The hotel itself is extremely clean and well appointed, the Spa is excellent with a wide variety of treatments. I can highly recommend this hotel."

Rashleigh Arms

10/10 Excellent

"The cobblestone parking was slightly challenging, and we weren’t expecting to be in a separate building from the inn, but the room was very comfortable and the large window had a great view which brightened up the space. The location was perfect, and the staff was pleasant and helpful. We appreciated that breakfast was included."
