good breakfast central location train station small room street noise

the location was great for getting around. it was easy to walk to the train station, and i liked that it was close to the town center. breakfasts were good with plenty of options available. i had a cooked breakfast each morning and it was done nicely.

the room was small. it was a single room and felt a bit cramped, and i wish it had more space for luggage. there wasnt much soundproofing, i could hear noise from the street.

daily refresh hearty breakfast

claire was very cute and offered a daily refresh of the room if i wanted anything cleaned or tidied. she gave me tips for places to eat, she recommended the mackerel sky cafe bar in nearby newlyn. it was fabulous. breakfast was hearty depending on what you want

the basin was a tiny cloakroom basin with a shelf and soap dispenser immediately above it so leaning over to wash face and clean teeth was awkward

We arrived and were greeted at the door by the host, who was cheerful. our host offered to carry our bags upstairs. It was a lovely offer. the room was large with an ensuite and a bay window. the lodge is a five minute walk to town, where there are several pubs.

the basin was a tiny cloakroom basin with a shelf. small bath towels were available.
