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.

The drive took longer than expected, and we got lost trying to locate it, but when we arrived at The Old Parsonage, Marg greeted us warmly and offered us tea and cake to help us unwind after our journey. Our room was on the second floor and featured the largest bathroom in the house. With a shower and tub, and a big window that let in plenty of light, the bathroom was pure luxury. The room was also quite spacious and pleasantly decorated. The breakfasts at The Old Parsonage were superb and used local ingredients. The porridge was delicious, and the eggs were incredibly fresh. I was delighted to see so many vegetarian options on the menu as well. Both Marg and Morag were extremely accommodating and helpful. We took several walks while in the area and Morag was happy to suggest routes and places to stop. A basket full of guide books and walks was available in the breakfast room and guests could borrow them as needed. The B&B is within walking distance of The Napoleon Inn, a very pleasant pub, or a short drive from the heart of Boscastle.

Our room was enormous and beautifully appointed with a serene modern elegance; the bathroom was very up-to-date; everything was impeccably clean. I've been in some B&Bs where everything is rule-bound; at the Old Parsonage, the tone is relaxed and flexible. The breakfast selection was extensive (they offer a daily menu for you to choose from) and delicious! The hostesses provide lots of information about what to do and where to eat in the area. I wish I'd had time to get to know them better.
