Had a lovely weekend in Cornwall, stayed at Holly House B&B in St Austell. John and Penny; the owners made us very welcome with tea and cake after a long journey from Lancashire. We were shown to the Porthpean room which was light, airy, very clean and very comfortable. Being Cornish I requested a Cornish breakfast with hogs pudding, with... More

Beautifully clean and welcoming house. Penny and John were wonderful hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfortable. Lovely breakfast served with plenty of coffee.

The room was big, very clean, very comfortable bed and the owners very helpful and friendly. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed it as a place to come back to, have a cuppa and retire ready to face the next day fresh and fully fed. The breakfast choice is amazing. The only let down is the town itself. After... More

Holly house is an excellent base for exploring the many garden delights in this part of Cornwall. Our room was clean and spacious, with garden views and a fantastically comfortable bed! The breakfast menu offered a wide choice from fresh fruit and home made yoghurt to the 'full English'. Penny and John made us feel welcome and at ease in... More

Not the easiest to find. The sign from the road was visible, but when you're approaching from traffic lights and in an unknown town very easy to miss. A quick call to the owners though and we were guided to their parking area at the read of the property. Note, there was an additional charge for parking which although minimal... More

Thank you for your positive review although where you got the idea we charge for parking from I have no idea. We never charge anyone for parking and certainly did not charge you. More

A wonderful airy room with lovely en suite, a kingsize and single used as a twin during our stay left plenty of space. Fantastic furniture and original features add that little ambience to the house. Breakfast was divine. The fruit platter and yoghurt a little different, the bread fresh and the bacon crisp. Penny was friendly and helpful with advice... More

On the question of check-in times, I e-mailed this guest when she booked asking if she could let us know an approximate arrival time but she didn't reply. It clearly states on the booking form that our check in time is between 4pm and 9pm but that we can be flexible if aked in advance. This guest arrived at 12.20pm... More

We have been to Holly house before but this time they have improved things still further. The en-suite is better and the beds were really comfortable. The breakfast menu was perfect and beyond our expectations. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys b&b holidays

The breakfast was great plenty to choose and very healthy choices, although the usual English breakfast was available. John and Penny were very kind, I was collected from the station when... More

Stayed for 3 nights at Holly House. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is just what is needed to set you up for the day. The mini fridge in the room keeps the milk fresh and there is always plenty of tea and coffe with biscuits. The bathrooms is spotless with plenty of hot water. John... More

We had three nights at Holly House on this occasion. John & Penny, our hosts went out of their way to make us feel at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and at breakfast, their home made bread and marmalade were to die for. At no time were they over obtrusive but they managed to add little touches that made... More
