The Elms Guest House

Had a great time staying at the elms guest house Pete is very friendly very helpful and accommodating The rooms are very comfortable good water pressure for the showers and you have WiFi Highly recommend

On the 11th September I took my wife Teresa for a Birthday treat to Cornwall. We come from Suffolk so it is a long drive. We had booked a hotel in Camelford (The Countryman Hotel) It was dreadful in just every respect. On the morning of the 12th September the owner refused to refund any money for the next 3 days already paid for so I decided to cut my losses and search for another place. I found "The Elms" online and phoned the owner, Peter immediately. I explained the situation and the fact that my wife was very upset. He was about to go out but said if I wanted to stay he could find us a room and would wait until we arrived at St Austell. When we got to the guest house there was Peter with a very warm smile on his face despite his left arm strapped up due to a broken collarbone. The room he had available was outside in a Swedish style log cabin. It was clean in every way. We were very happy and the day rate was cheaper than the previous "Fawlty Towers" When in a local recommend pub, Peter turned up and offered to buy my wife and I both a drink too! Breakfast was excellent and each morning a lovely lady called Mel helped Peter with serving and cooking. Both Peter and Mel were very kind and friendly. I would give this guest house 10 out of 10 WELL DONE!!! Picture is myself eating Peter and Mel's delicious breakfast. Yours sincerely Stuart and Tersa Poole
