Julie and I had an amazing 4 night stay. Nikki and Merlin were amazing hosts. The Red room was Lovely with a comfy bed just like a home from home. The fridge cooler was an added bonus to store drinks and snacks in. Great choices for breakfast in a friendly dinning room. Having a parking space was an added bonus. There is a steep slope to the parking but as confident drivers with a medium sided car this was not an issue. Nikki's cozy B&B is very central to lots of surrounding attraction and the many beautiful beaches. Overall it was a brilliant stay. Nikkie and Merlin made us feel very welcome and relaxed. Thank you so much.🐕🧑🏻‍🦳 X X

We only had 4 nights there..

Nikki worked very hard to make our stay a good one . We found our bed and room to be very comfortable . A lovely breakfast in the morning , scrambled egg with clotted cream is a must try . The poached eggs were very good too . Merlin the dog was an added bonus , friendly and very well trained by Nikki . We found it a good location to explore Cornwall and we found the parking fine . Nikki was very knowledgeable about the area which was very handy too . We found it very reasonably priced . Thankyou Nikki for a lovely stay and look forward to our next visit and hope you have room . Thankyou

We had a great stay with Nikki at Arches BnB. It was well located close to the Eden Project and lots of cute coastal towns that we enjoyed exploring in our 3 day visit. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay - including a mini fridge which was great for keeping our water bottles cold! As advertised, the property is dog friendly and we enjoyed patting Merlin the resident dog on our way in and out each day - he's a total sweetheart! The breakfast we had each morning was delicious and Nikki was fantastic about accomodating my food allergies and my husband's vegetarian needs.

Our only complaint was that the local brewery's pub within walking distance of the BnB closed at 5pm on Saturdays which meant we had to drive somewhere for dinner - but that wasn't a big issue as there were lots of other places within driving distance with delicious food!

Nikki has been doing B&B for many years and clearly knows how to look after her guests. She gave us a warm welcome (as did Merlin the soppy dog), and made sure we had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Breakfast is highly recommended :-) I'm not going to put this i the 'What we didn't like' box because it's mentioned in the details, but, the driveway is steep, narrow and has craggy stone walls both sides. I just managed to get my BMW 320i (G20) through, but wouldn't like to try with anything bigger than a medium size family car.

Comfortable rooms and the host is just fabulous! She was one of the warmest person I've met lately. The breakfast was a limelight of our day. Perfect in every sense! I will always cherish the cauliflower hash browns! The cosy talks during breakfast with the host, really started our day on such a positive note. And top it all, Merlin! The most sensitive and sensible dog, I've ever seen! I've tons of pictures with him :D The best stay we've had in sometime, will highly recommend the place, host, food and Merlin😀 I

The landlady Nikki was really friendly and helpful, whilst Merlin the dog is a gentle soul. The king size bed was really comfy and I wasn't bothered by any external noise . In fact I slept like a log, There was an excellent shower in the spotless en-suite, which was stocked with multiple toiletries. There are some nice little touches -there are bird feeders out side the bedroom window, so a small pair of binoculars and a bird identification book were on the bedside table. I can't eat a large breakfast these days but other guests seemed to be enjoying hearty breakfasts. The small town centre with cafes, bars and restaurants was less than 10 mins walk away, which meant I could have a drink on an evening without worries about driving.

The only thing, which Nikki has no control over, is that on my first night birds had roosted in trees above the parking spot. which left a real mess on my car. It was only the one night so perhaps I was just unlucky.

Very homely place to stay, the room was clean and comfortable with a hot shower. Even had bird feeders on the window so you can do some bird spotting. Saving the best till last….breakfast was awesome- best poached egg ever!! Nikki was a great hostess, really down to earth and welcoming. Even when she had some really disrespectful guests staying she maintained a great attitude even though I would have lost my cool! Not forgetting my little mate Merlin- perfectly good teacher in treat obtaining!! Thank you for a great stay ❤️

We were lucky enough to arrive on an afternoon when our hostess made fresh scones with jam and cream. What a lovely welcome. This gave us a chance to chat with other guests, too, in the cosy dining room. Our room was spacious with such a comfy bed. We loved the view of the Arches from our window. Merlin, the dog was calm and friendly. We loved our stay. Fantastic communication right from the start. Highly recommend this B and B.

The driveway was tricky, but it was completely manageable. Just take your time.

We were welcomed by both Nikki and her beautiful dog Merlin, who made our stay very comfortable and nothing was too much trouble, the breakfast was excellent

There is currently a problem gaining access from north of the location due to major roadworks, we stayed there while visiting our daughter who lives to the north of StAustell which would normally be easily accessible from the Arches but due to the roadworks we had to follow a very long diversion each day to get to and from where we needed to be, I must say that this is in no way the fault of Nikki or the agents and for most people it would not be an issue.

The full english breakfast was excellent! Nikki is very friendly and made us feel very welcome and comfortable, like a home away from home. The bnb is in a good location for nearby beaches, which are just a short drive away, and there are lots of great places to eat lunch/dinner nearby. The dog is also very friendly, gentle, and well trained and will train you to in how to give him dog treats, which are kept in the various jars downstairs. We would happily stay here again!
