After the St Ives hotel I'd been visiting since I was a kid shut down, I was sure I would never…read morefind a place to stay that could measure up to the childhood nostalgia. I happened upon The Rookery while planning a visit to St Ives with my partner for the winter holidays, and I was impressed before we even arrived. The Rookery, run by Ron and Barbara Rook (a clever name is a good sign), was exactly what I'd been looking for. Ron and Barbara were responsive by email and phone, and incredibly helpful before and during our visit. This cozy B&B is in a prime location, just a short walk from the main streets of St Ives, but elevated enough to have a great view of the harbor. We had a very comfortable, very quiet rear-facing suite, so I can't comment on noise levels in the forward (street) facing rooms. Breakfast was fantastic every morning, with the obligatory full English fare and pretty much everything in between. They even had a vegetarian breakfast available, a rarity in most of the English B&Bs I've visited. Ron and Barbara greeted us each morning, cheery and full of great tips about local events and sights. Ron, a photography enthusiast, even took us on a photo tour of the nearby countryside when he found out that we also loved photography. (I'm sure this is not a standard service for guests, but we had a blast. It was one of the best parts of our trip, and demonstrates how dedicated they both are to making their guests happy.) I ended up having an experience very different from those childhood years, but discovered St Ives anew, with Ron and Barbara's help.

The Harrington guest house is one of the best guest houses in Newquay. Situated just over the road…read morefrom the railway station, there are seven rooms altogether and they are all great. All the rooms have tea and coffee making facilities, on-suit bathroom with power shower (much better then mine) and flat screen TV with freeview. The icing on the cake is the mattresses' they are so comfy you could lay on them forever (not literally). All rooms have radiators and there is free WI-FI available. There is also a lounge with a large TV and Billiards/Pool table. Jackie the owner is a very nice lady, very knowledgeable, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast (which is excellent) is served from 9-9.30am, there is a choice of cereals, full English to boiled eggs, all diets are cared for. The seafront is only five minutes up the road with Newquay zoo, and gardens only 15 mins down the road. It's so peaceful I will definitely be staying here again as I always look forward to visiting Newquay, it's the highlight of my year. The Harrington is a rare gem, and great value too.

I promptly went afoot and unexpectedly found this B&B facing the sea, what a most welcome oasis for weary travelers! Liz, the land lady was most accommodating and helpful. The 2 single en suite rooms were charming in country decor, immaculately clean, cheery and bright, coffee and tea were stashed along with soft bath towels to boot! Breakfast was not only a standard English Breakfast, my friend was able to order a vegetarian version, and a generous cereal bar accompanied. Free wifi and complete silence rounded out the entire experience along with the surprisingly inexpensive room rate. Cheers to Liz!
