Cosy and perfect for two people, it has great access to the south of Cornwall but also serves as a good base to go and explore the rest of Cornwall if you're willing to drive. Space was nice and quiet and you'll be able to properly switch off. Just be aware that the road down to the property is a little narrow so don't be speeding your way through that country lane!"

"Just returned from a 7 night stay at Savoy view apartment The accommodation was excellent, everything needed for the stay was provided and the rooms were tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. We arrived early after a 6 hour drive and expected we’d have to wait around a few hours until check in but we were surprised to notice that the key had been made available a lot earlier which was lovely. The property is in an ideal location for exploring the beaches and coves on the Lizard peninsula....

The Paris Hotel

The Paris Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely room with sea views from each of our two windows. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a table for an evening meal and this was very good. The location of the hotel was great. You can walk from the hotel on the coastal path to St Keverne (about 2 miles) although this is very challenging. However after we'd walked on this path, we found out there was actually an easier path which we'll walk along next time. We might even get to St Keverne as this time we turned round after about 45 mins."
