Arches B&B

We spent three lovely days at The Arches. Celebrating our anniversary, beautiful spotless clean room. Nikki, is a lovely warm friendly lady, nothing was too much trouble. Her German Shepherd Merlin is very friendly. We will definitely be going back there again.

I have just returned from a 5-night stay at this lovely place, run by Nikki and her German Shepherd Merlin. They both made me feel so welcome, and we had lovely long chats over a delicious breakfast every day. I stayed in the "Green" room which had lovely furnishings including a 4-poster bed which was so comfortable, and views of the nearby viaduct and surrounding countryside. It is a 10-minute walk into the centre of St Austell, and easy to get to various tourist attractions in Cornwall. I will definitely return soon!

Small business, big heart! We had a warm welcome from Nichola and Merlin (German Shepherd). The room was clean and well presented. Bed linen and mattress luxurious. Gourmet breakfast cooked fresh; warm granary bread; perfect poached eggs! My two dachsunds were off lead in one second and made to feel as at home as we were. A few steps from a lovely woodland path, and a few minutes from Menacuddle well and druids chair. All round, a perfect place. Thank you Nichola and Merlin, from Clare, Denise (Bruno and Perkins)

This wonderful home from home Bed and Breakfast was Perfect . Nikki pulls out every stop to make your stay perfect, even upgraded us to the green room with the four poster bed for free, made our weekend more magical. Nikki is a fantastic cook and the breakfast was so scrummy. Her poached eggs are perfect and the warm bread goes with out saying. Merlin completes this wonderful BandB and is so well behaved and amazing manners. Thank you so much Nikki, we will definitely be back. Lisa and Frankie xxx

Stayed for new year and had a wonderful time. Nicki and Merlin were amazing as always. Green room was lovely and comfortable and breakfast was to die for. We will be back in September 2024 and can't wait.

A lovely stay in a comfortable room and comfy bed within a historic home. I stayed in the Green Room with an ensuite and a four poster bed! The host, Nicki, is wonderfully accommodating and her dog is good natured. The B&B itself is well-located close to St. Austell town centre, the station and walking trails to the likes of the Eden Project. Unfortunately, as a consequence it is a bit noisy being close to a main road, but that can't be helped. The breakfast was tasty too and good value for money (£7.50) if you don't book it in advance.
