St Benets Abbey B&B

This B&B is perfect for travellers with cars. The hosts are incredibly warm and friendly, and I felt very welcomed here. Although the house is near the road, it is surrounded by a garden, making it very quiet. The rooms are well-equipped, and the bed is very comfortable. Breakfast can be customised to your liking and is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended to everyone!

We agreed with some of the other reviews, that it a bit quirky in parts. Bits are a bit old fashioned, but everything is very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Only real negative was that things that would be easy and cheap to fix were not done, things like squeaking doors and replacing blackened silicone sealant around the bath. There is a pub about 10 minutes walk away serving good beer and food. Never used it, but I believe the chippy across from the pub is also OK. Generally happy and would stay again.

We stayed for one night this week at St Benet's Abbey while exploring the area and visiting relations & from the moment we arrived we felt totally at home. Jenny & her team are so welcoming and caring & really made our stay absolutely wonderful. The Abbey is such a beautiful building with a bell tower behind which we could see from our room at the rear of the hotel. We walked down the footpath from the front of the hotel to the village of Lanivet which took just under 10 minutes where we had a lovely meal at the Lanivet Inn. The room was nicely furnished & the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with granola & fruit juice to start then I had smoked haddock with scrambled egg followed by toast & coffee served in a lovely dining room. Thank you so much Jenny & your team for making our stay so wonderful

Lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome. Fantastic and beautifully cooked breakfast. Perfect place to stay for walking stopovers.

We walked The Saints Way from Fowey to Padstow and back and spent the night at St Benet’s Abbey in Lanivet on both the outward and the return leg. We were greeted by our lovely friendly host Jenny, and felt thoroughly spoilt by the comfortable rooms and wonderful vegetarian breakfasts. We would definitely recommend St Benet’s Abbey.

From the moment you walk through the front door you are made very welcomed by Jenny and her team. We arrived for a night of paranormal investigation followed by a great night sleep in a comfortable bed. In the morning had a full English breakfast which was delicious and nothing was to much trouble. Looking forward to returning again soon.

This beautiful venue has the best hospitality in the county. The owners are so charming, it is always a location where you come back to. Plus the occasional ghost to find, which us ten investigators enjoyed immensely.

Characterful and historic place to spend a night or two. Located not far off the A30 (although make sure you take the right exit!) this is a great place from which to explore central Cornwall, north or south coast. Jenny and her staff are warm and helpful, the rooms spacious and comfortable and the breakfasts ideal before a full day of Cornish tourism. Impersonal and charmless it is not!
