Clean and comfortable room.

We had an enjoyable overnight stay before we caught the ferry to the Scilly Isles. The room wasn't huge but it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

Cosy little room on the top floor. Comfortable and met my needs perfectly. Located just a street back from the promenade, and handy to town, supermarket, and a walk along the seafront.

A guest house located in a lovely old house 10 minutes walk from the centre. We had a room at the back, which was comfortable enough, but was a little small for us given we had luggage for 2 weeks. Shower was excellent

Nice experience

We had a very nice experience at Chiverton. The host is really good. The stay is 15 mins stay from the centre, bus and train station. We can reach thr by walking alongside the beach. Worth for the money with all the essential facilities including a small fidge. Definitely visiting again...

The room was tiny so it was a bit difficult to have two suitcases in it. Maybe shelves instead of the closet would be more workable for couples. The bathroom was the smallest but most functional I've ever had. Alan was really helpful with the map to find the best places about and tide table for visiting St Michaels Mount. Would definitely recommend it.
