We recently enjoyed a wonderful two‑night stay at the chapel, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was stunning, thoughtfully designed, immaculate, and full of charming touches that made it feel special. The entire property reflects the same level of care everywhere you look, you can see the effort that’s gone into creating a welcoming, high‑quality experience. Breakfast was another highlight. Having it cooked to order not only avoids unnecessary waste, but it also means you’re served a meal that’s genuinely fresh and full of flavour. It’s such a simple change from the usual buffet style, yet it makes a world of difference. We honestly couldn’t fault a thing. It was peaceful, comfortable, and beautifully run, a perfect little getaway. Thanks again Richard and Sam

Tracey and Richard are great hosts. Very friendly, great facilities in the room and Richard’s full English breakfast is absolutely amazing, one, if not the best I have ever had. Car park on site and outside seating with a bar. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning a trip to this area.

Short stay

An amazing b&b. Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Everything you need for a perfect stay with a kettle, hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner , soaps and hand and body moisturiser. The tv had extra channels as well. Catch up etc. Breakfast was cooked to order and was lovely. Everywhere was very clean and comfortable. Positioned on a main road there was easy access to st austell, the eden project and the lost gardens of heligan. There us also a pub jyst up the road with super friendly customers. A place to stay to relax and unwind. Vety friendly owners too.

A lovely stay

A nice overnight stay as part of a road trip. Lovely room and lovely bedding and linen. Nice team and coffee choices including hot chocolate. Bathroom adequate for its size, Nice shower. A wonderful breakfast with a great choice. Rooms in a separate part to where the hosts reside which is nice to come n go without feeling like you disturb the hosts. Overall a lovely stay with nice hospitality. Had WIFI in the room which was a real bonus. There was some noise from the road if the cars were driving too fast however this did not detract from my stay.

Covid secure and still wonderful!!

We stayed here after restrictions were lifted to allow hotels to open. We’ve stayed before, and knew things would be a bit different to normal. Debbie and Andy have worked really hard to minimise the impact to guests’ experiences whilst ensuring safety for everyone!! Temperatures were taken on arrival, face masks are requested to be worn in the hallways and hand sanitisation stations are in place. It’s different, but if it wasn’t, we’d have been concerned!! Importantly, the rooms are still as comfy as ever (first night’s sleep in a different bed for 4 months and slept like a baby!!), breakfast is still delicious and Andy and Debbie are still wonderful hosts! We were in room 1 - some reviews mentioned a loud macerator in room 1’s bathroom, but this has been upgraded during lockdown. With the bathroom door closed, you can’t hear anything from the bedroom!! This place is also perfect for the Eden Project (10min drive), which is also managing social distancing very effectively with a time slot booking system!

The hosts were lovely, nothing was too much trouble and they had good local knowledge of places to visit or eat. The guest house was spotless and our room was very comfortable. If we visit that area again we will certainly try and get a room at the Chapel Guest House, not just for its central location for places to visit but for the peace of mind that the accommodation will be great.
