Hotels near Higher Trehane Farm, Trevalga

Mum and I stayed at King Arthur’s Arms bed and breakfast for one night in August 2014. We parked easily in the huge car park next to the hotel and checked in, where we were given a parking permit valid to cover our stay and a few hours beyond. Jess greeted us and took us to Room 12 and I noticed how clean it smelt throughout. There was a mini hallway with a huge bathroom to the right, containing a huge double shower, large vanity sink and toilet. The bedroom was huge with double bed, wardrobe, safe, dressing table and tea and coffee facilities and a dual aspect to the front over Fore Street and to the side over the entrance to the pub. The bed was comfortable and temperature was great. We ate dinner at the pub, which was lovely. Breakfast was plentiful with a choice of cereals, pastries and granola with yoghurt, then full English with tea, coffee and juices. We were given a fond farewell at departure by Jess, who is just fabulous at making guests welcome ⭐️

I hadn't read any of the reviews on this hotel prior to arriving. I was a bit concerned though about the 4pm earliest check-in time, but this was only minor and didn't really affect our travel plans. Greeted by the proprietor on arrival - very friendly and welcoming and directed to our room on the second floor. Advised on breakfast times and location. No issues with supply of coffee or milk in the room. Room was pleasant with en-suite shower room. All ok in shower room/toilet apart from shaver mirror not working. TV in room, but not used. Asked proprietor advice about taxis in the region and she was able to give the details. Breakfast was of a really good standard - cereals and yoghurts / tea or coffee which accompanied a hearty full-English. My wife is vegetarian and it was not an issue for a vegetarian full-English to be served up too. Friends were staying in another establishment with no breakfasts on offer, we mentioned this in passing to the proprietor who immediately invited the 2 couples to have breakfast at the hotel for the next morning for £10/head. They took up the offer and were pleased to do so. I/we enjoyed the banter with the proprietor during the breakfast time and on the whole, this visit/stay was very pleasant, relaxing and restful. We'll be back, I'm sure.

The rooms are excellent and as are well advertised mostly consist of 3 cells knocked into one, with one used as a bathroom, the bed in another and the middle room where the TV desk, and entrance is. Given the historical constraints (and the fact they have still managed to insert 'invisible' aircon into a listed building) I think it's only fair to overlook things that would seem odd in a normal hotel, e.g. tiny wardrobe, curtains on an odd shaped rail, windows you can't easily open. As for the breakfast on Sunday 22nd, which 'Bob' correctly identifies as slow, I don't think that the lady at the door was unfriendly at all, it was clear that they were overwhelmed with guests all wanting a later breakfast, and might this perhaps have actually been the hotels issue, for not having enough staff, for whatever reason, rather than blaming one individual? Our actual food was great, and no problems there, they even offered our dog a sausage. They did manage to put out more food on the central table as well, after a delay. Perhaps the unfriendliness, was a reaction to your attitude, 'Bob'?. Monday was a very different experience, with our dog being offered an alternative to sausage; bear in mind the hotel was clearly a lot less busy too.
