We first stayed at the Caerthillian five years ago when Austin and Linda had just taken over as owners. We were a walking group of eight, so for new B&B hosts it must have seemed like a baptism of fire, but they coped really well and we all had a fantastic time. This time there were just two of us...

First of all: Austin and Linda (the owners) were very kind and helpful people. We talk with them during breakfast, more or less for I think two hours, having a really good time. So thank you all for your kindness! Then, about the b&b: I think it is beautiful during summer, now they are having some renovation on the outside... More

As a treat to the end of a stressful Christmas my husband & I needed some sea air to blow the cobwebs away and decided to head down to Cornwall again as we had such a lovely time during our last visit. We decided to try our luck and hoped that The Caerthillian would be open and much to our... More

A truly wonderful B&B. Comfortable rooms providing excellent value, and an exceptionally friendly welcome from Austin and Linda. Highly recommended - especially the breakfasts! Would definitely stay here again.

Having stayed here twice in recent months, I can thoroughly recommend staying at the Caerthillian. It is a very clean, comfortable and friendly hotel. The breakfast will keep you going all day whilst exploring the surrounding area.The welcome was genuine, warm and friendly and felt like home from home. Looking forward to returning here in the not too distant future.

If you are in for a real break and are looking for some great accomodation, stay at the Caerthillian Guest House. Their rooms are cosy, spacious, 100% spotless and bright and "the full English" is delicious - what else do you need when doing the Coast Path? Austin, who has got a heart for vegetarians, and Linda - both of... More
