Very comfortable, very clean, good breakfast

Very warm welcome and informative check-in. We were staying here at the end of our first day walking the Saints Way from Padstow to Fowey, so we were in need of comfortable accommodation and a good breakfast and St Benets Abbey provided both. Very comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, excellent cleanliness. Would thoroughly recommend to others.

Lovely place to stay!

Jenny was a wonderful host. Hot individual selected breakfast items freshly cooked. Delicious and lots of choices. I loved the eggs with smoked salmon. Room was lovely. Historic old Benedictine abbey modernized. Lanivet Inn walkable and recommend it for dinner. Would stay at Abbey again if visiting Cornwall.

St Benet's Abbey Lanivet

We agreed with some of the other reviews, that it a bit quirky in parts. Bits are a bit old fashioned, but everything is very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Only real negative was that things that would be easy and cheap to fix were not done, things like squeaking doors and replacing blackened silicone sealant around the bath. There is a pub about 10 minutes walk away serving good beer and food. Never used it, but I believe the chippy across from the pub is also OK. Generally happy and would stay again.

What a little gem we found, suited our travelling plans, was central to places we planned on visiting. This place is so picturesque set at the bottom on a hill, majestic trees all the way up the hill, with a stream running around the front. We were warmly greeted by a wonderful lady, Jenny. The room was spacious and very well looked after. We will definitely be booking here again, and thank you for making us feel welcomed🤗

Great bed. Good breakfast.

Bed: great quality, excellent sleep. Breakfast: good quality, well cooked. Interesting place. Not instagramable but putting aside the dated asthmatics it delivered what we needed.

This is a beautiful property with a lot of history. Jenny the host is extremely friendly and helpful. There is a decent pub down the road for food and drink which only a 5 min walk. Jenny also arranged a great breakfast for my dietary requirements (vegan and gluten free). Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting. Only small complaint was that the bed had a footboard that meant my husband (6"4) was uncomfortable.

A decent but not outstanding B&B

This is a good B&B but slightly surprised by the number of outstanding reviews. Our room was ok, but nothing special, quite basic and dated but very clean. The beds could have been more comfortable and need replacing. The breakfast was very fresh, generous with a decent selection. The quality was fine but not outstanding. For over £100 a night we expected it to be better. Overall it was fine for 1 night but unlikely we'd go back.
