I stayed here 3 nights I don’t eat breakfast and was out before other guests had there’s. It pet friendly and Nikki the owner has an Alsatian. The room was clean and well stocked with tea and coffee and also had a fridge which was handy in the heat.

Everything about our stay was amazing! The B&B was clean, comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Nikki was a fantastic host who made us feel so welcome throughout our stay. A special mention to Merlin, the very well-mannered dog, who was an absolute delight! If you’re looking for a place with a genuine personal touch, this is definitely the place to come. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended! Thank you Nikki 😊

Enjoyed our stay. Near to everything we wanted to see. Nice host and the dog Merlin is a bonus, never seen a dog so chilled.

Host was amazing, friendly, helpful and welcoming. Room was lovely and bed really comfortable. Excellent location for our trip to the St Austell brewery and only a short walk to town. Breakfast was lovely. We would definitely stay again and there was the added bonus of meeting the gorgeous Merlin. Thank you so much for making our weekend perfect

Host was excellent- very helpful and friendly! Property was pleasant and very homely. Owners dog was friendly but well controlled by owner! Would highly recommend this property for a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. I have really enjoyed my time here!

I was warmly welcomed by Merlin and Nikki. Accommodation was first class, warm very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty. I came as a guest but left as a friend. Can highly recommend and will be back.

The property was a lovely stay and i slept well. Vegetarian Breakfast was a little small but nice. No decaf coffee. Lovely dog in property.very friendly.

Very friendly host who provided comprehensive information about arrival and the town in general. There is a large dog (Merlin) who is quiet and well behaved so nothing to worry about. Easy walk to town. Breakfast was excellent. Comfortable, warm room. Property is starting to show its age (our windows didn't shut too well and there was a small leak letting water in onto the sill) but the owner is refurbishing it. If you have a room at the front the road is quite close so there is some traffic noise. Would stay again.

A very friendly proprietor and also her lovely furry friend,Merlin Her breakfast choices were amazing, especially the kippers, never tasted kippers like it.

Best breakfast in Cornwall! Nikki was a great host, even a cup of tea on arrival which was well received after a long drive. Great location for Eden Sessions. Merlin is such a well behaved dog and loves a biscuit. A real home from home. Thank you for having us!

A beautiful little place, the room was clean and comfortable, and the landlady couldn't do do even to make my stay great. Also the B&B is home to the bestest boy in the South,a lovely placid dog named Merlin. I will definitely be staying again next time I travel to St Austell.

First night lovely and warm 2nd night no heating on

Parking was difficult but managed ok,loved the room and the four poster bed and the breakfast was lush

We were made to feel very welcome by Nikki and her lovely dog Merlin. Tasty breakfast, kippers were best I've ever had.

Excellent place to stay. Quiet, comfortable, and the dog is the cherry on top!

Enjoyed our stay at The Arches. Nikki, the owner was very welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Gave us lots of information about places to visit and eat. Informed us she had a large dog (called Merlin), he was as placid as could be, very well behaved and calm. We took our dog but Merlin was no threat to ours. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Parking was available. Only small issue was not having en-suite as bathroom which was disappointing as it was across the corridor. It wasn’t shared so wasn’t a major issue. Our room was quite small and the decor and furniture very basic. Good to have a fridge. Enjoyed our stay.

Nicki is friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. She is knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast is lovely, good choice and always hot and cooked well. If your a dog lover then you will love Merlin he is the most gentle friendly dog you will ever meet and he will greet you every morning and lead you to the biscuit jar for you to feed him. He is so gentle when he takes it from you. He knows never to enter the breakfast room until after everyone has finished and then he will bring you his toys to show you.

Lovely little B&B within walking distance of Pubs in St Austell.

A very welcoming place to stay in St Austell. Very clean and comfortable room, good room facilities, and fantastic breakfast. Location is great being a few minutes walk from the main shopping streets and train / bus station. Highly recommend.

A great spot to explore. Made to feel very welcome amongst good covid safe environment. Generous breakfast - thanks.
