Our latest news...

Independent Newspaper - Saturday 4th August 2007

We had been told by the Independent newspaper that we feature in their  "The 50 Best British B & B's"  list.  

Well, it was published on  Saturday  4th August, 2007, and not only were we listed at Number 11, but the picture of our sign and frontage graced the magazine's front page! .  To say that we were chuffed to bits is an understatement!

Britain in Bloom 2007
We usually enter our local Britain in Bloom competition.  However this year, due to some serious weather damage, we felt the garden wasn't really looking at it's best, and we didn't enter.  On judging day the judges turned up anyway, and awarded us Third Prize!!

New Room Opens for Business
We're delighted to announce that after 6 months of refurbishments, our Killigrew room is finally ready for it's first visitors.  This is a spacious ground floor room, with twin beds, and a superb new bathroom.  We are confident that it will be very popular with guests who prefer not to have to climb the stairs!

Automobile Association Inspection
On 2nd/3rd April 2007 we underwent an overnight assessment by the Automobile Association (the AA),  and we are delighted to announce that the assessor confirmed our  5 Star grading in line with Visit Britain's assessment in February 2007.

Visit Britain Inspection
On 15th/16th February 2007 we underwent an overnight assessment  by Visit Britain's inspection organisation, Quality in Tourism.  

We are delighted to announce that the inspectors confirmed our  5 Star grading,  and awarded us a  Gold Award for exceptional levels of quality, comfort, cleanliness, hospitality and service for the fourth consecutive year.

We've won the Silver!
We are delighted to announce that we won the Silver award in the Cornwall Tourist Board's prestigious "Bed and Breakfast of the Year 2006" competition. 

We've installed Wi-Fi  
We have now installed wireless free broadband which allows access in all bedrooms and public rooms throughout the building.  So bring your laptop and keep in touch with your emails whilst away,  totally free of charge.

We've changed our name!
Visit Britain, Visit Scotland, the Wales Tourist Board and the Automobile Association have decided to reclassify some accommodation providers so that visitors will be able to choose either a hotel (with full hotel facilities) or an establishment that simply offers Bed and Breakfast.

We have decided just to continue to offer the finest quality Bed and Breakfast, and you can be assured that nothing has changed about us other than our name.

More information about the quality standards in hotels, bed and breakfasts, farms etc can be found at the Quality in Tourism web site here, and the Automobile Association web site here.
