Top Helston Hotel Reviews

The Black Swan

8/10 Good

"The property suited our needs being ideally situated, and providing comfortable accommodation. The pub had a good atmosphere with reasonably priced food., and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, during our stay housekeeping was haphazard. We had to ask for clean towels and the bed wad only ever made up once during a seven night stay. Although not connected with the accommodation, it was disappointing that the Boatyard cafe did not open early enough to provide us with breakfast. During our stay last year we could rely on this!"

The Paris Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fantastic views, lovely breakfast and really friendly staff."

Three Tuns

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff. Good food. Beautiful little village setting. We ate both nights and the food was good. Breakfast a little disappointing- granola jar was empty. The granola option was a very small serving."

Mullion Cove Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience overall. The property is clean, modern, and located in a safe, accessible area. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient, and the room was quiet and comfortable for a good night's rest. Excellent value for the price—would definitely book again!"

Harbour Inn

8/10 Good

"Lovely clean place, friendly staff and fantastic rooms. Our room was quite warm but was supplied with a fan. Situated ideally on Porthleven harbour. A bit disappointed having to wait for an hour for food but the staff did apologise and gave us our drinks FOC as a way of an apology. Unfortunately, I’d passed being hungry so didn’t finish my meal. That said it would not stop me coming back as overall we had a fantastic stay."

Higher Trenear Farm

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, the yurt and kitchen cabin had all you could need and was well maintained and clean. Lovely, peaceful surroundings and kids loved the pigs, goats and chickens. Highly recommended!"

Cadgwith Cove Inn
