    We loved everything. Really could not find a fault with anything there.

    Everything. Friendly owners, immaculately clean rooms, always hot water, relaxed atmosphere. We had the twin room with separate bathroom and that was fine, lovely robe to wear if needed to walk across landing.

    Everything was perfect.

    The location was perfect for where we wanted to visit. The facilities were excellent and the breakfast was top class. We were warmly welcomed by the owners who could not do enough for us. We would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Cornwall.

    Would have liked a cereals option for breakfast especially on days when not wanting a cooked one. Personal preference would have been for a firmer mattress. No other negatives.

    Location was fine for exploring that part of the Lizard. Bedroom and ensuite were good size, spotlessly clean, fresh and bright. Cooked breakfasts were very good. The hosts were a pleasure to meet.

    It was perfect

    Nothing was too much trouble at this lovely B&B. Attention to detail to make your stay perfect was totally achieved, large white fluffy towels, plenty of hot water, good quality biscuits in bedroom at all times with tea and coffee, bottles of water and excellent freshly cooked to order breakfasts which were beautifully presented. In a nutshell, we will be returning. In a delightful small village with two pubs, lovely church, picturesque cottages and a fabulous restaurant

    The only small negative was that deliveries to the Spa in the squarea re noisy quite early in the morning BUT having said that, it's offset with the fact there is a local shop, and when you stay in a village centre, you have to expect some noise, so this is just to inform people so they are aware. It didn't bother us.

    Location was excellent for visiting so many places in the area, and it was easy to find. We never had any problem parking in the free parking are directly outside the property in the village square. The breakfasts were great!!!

    We were unsure that we would be able to have breakfast on the first morning of our stay as the time it was due to be served was a little too late for us. However, Kevin and Clare did accommodate us so all good in the end.

    We had stayed in the self catering cottage some years back so were familiar with the OTH and location. Lovely welcome from Clare when we arrived. We had a quick response to our question about the time breakfast was served via Booking.com messaging. Our room was bright and airy, very clean with a comfortable bed and large en suite. As we were scuba diving at Porthkerris, we had to leave early. Kevin did a lovely round of bacon butties for my husband and musli, fruit and yoghurt plus toast for me. When we returned from our diving they put the heating on for us and offered to dry out our clothing as the weather had been miserable all day. Nice customer care touches.

    Old Temperance House is in a good location for exploring Cornwall, situated in the centre of the small village St Keverne and less than a minute walk from two great pubs that serve good food. Roskilly's farm is also a short drive and within walking distance from OTH, where they make ice cream and serve hot food on certain days of the week. We really enjoyed our full English breakfast at the b&b, and Kevin was a great host. We wish we had more time to explore the local area - the walk to Porthoustock was really nice. We also had a short drive to Coverack, which was beautiful too!

    The shower was not the best (though it did work).

    Loved that the room overlooked the village square which had a lovely feeling to it. There is a small table in the room with 2 chairs that you can sit at. Breakfast was lovely (we had a bowl of fruit with croissant that came with jam and cornish cream) along with toast and coffee. There were other choices.

    Old Temperance House was a very good location for exploring this particular part of Cornwall. We really enjoyed and appreciated the history associated with the village. The bed was very comfortable and we had excellent breakfasts cooked by Kevin, which kept us going all day on some long walks. Beautiful countryside and coastal paths with generally well signposted walking. There was a lovely path to Coverack across the fields. Lots of wildlife to be seen. A few places (The Lavender Farm and Roskillys) that we didn't get time to visit and a lot more walks to do. Next time hopefully!
