With free Wi-Fi in public areas, The White Hart Hotel dates back to 1838, and is situated in the centre of Hayle in Cornwall. Guests can explore the pretty harbour, or travel to St Ives, just 6 miles away.

Loved the atmosphere in this beautiful old building full of history and wonderful paintings. The decor is very shabby chic and the restaurant is furnished with lovely antiques. The food was out of this world with huge portions and great value. A special mention of the amazing chef Rob who produced gorgeous vegetarian dishes and the most tender roast beef according to my husband. The bar is great craic with the locals and if you are interested in seeing the real Cornwall and experiencing proper Cornish hospitality, this is for you. Loved it and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

    The view is outstanding from Harbour View House. The staff were helpful and friendly. A free drink on arrival was a nice touch and the breakfast in the morning had a range of innovative options. Our Room 7 had a great aspect and was comfortable.

    Thurlestone House is an old church building converted many years ago into a hotel. It is now an extremely well run Guest House by John and Linda who really make you feel like a special guest. We had a warm welcome from John whose local knowledge was really useful. Exceptionally clean and comfortable room. Lovely walk into St Ives along the cliff path and also on a good bus route. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order from a quite sophisticated menu. Parking is a bit tight but we thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Carbis Bay.

    The views from the apartment are spectacular, made you just want to sit and look at it. The apartment was spacious and clean and had everything required for our stay. I particularly liked the clever mix of modern and some rustic features. I would definitely book this apartment again and would highly recommend.

    Zennor is in an insanely peaceful town, but staying at the Tinners Arms really feels like you're a fantasy adventurer who's wandered to a tavern and met sociable and hospitable group. I was here looking for inspiration for a story, and I've certainly found a lot here and from the church next door.

    The Guest House and staff were fabulous as was the food. This was booked for a special occasion (40th Birthday) and the Gannet Inn didn’t disappoint
