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

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.

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.

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.

ARCHES B&B IS A MUST !! We stayed one night in June a very warm welcome from Nikki on arrival made us feel at home. Booked the Green Room a beautiful four poster bed, very comfortable and clean. Tea/coffee making facilities, TV and small fridge. Bathroom is well equipped with nice towels, flannels and toiletries. Breakfast is of high quality and presented well. * No grease present * Menu offers a great choice you will not be disappointed :) Parking available ! A quiet location only ten minutes walk to the town center and within easy reach of Eden Project, Charlestown, Mevagissey etc Nikki is a wonderful host top marks for hospitality ! Merlin the German Shepherd is absolutely gorgeous, friendly and very obedient he even knows not to enter the breakfast room when your eating ! By the end of your stay he will have you trained to give him a biscuit from his jar in the hallway. Nobody would ever know a dog lived on the premises it is absolutely spotless and smells lovely. Once breakfast serving had finished Nikki came and chatted with us still offering more tea/coffee which was lovely to have a host give you their time. We both support Live Music so Nikki suggested other towns events to check out etc .. A very relaxed Sunday departure fabulous stay looking forward to our return in Aug for the Blue Room. Nikki and Merlin made us most welcome ! Highly recommend staying here !! Miranda & Nick

広くて清潔な部屋と美味しい朝食、静かな環境ととても良いところです。駅から徒歩15分程度、土地柄細い道と坂道が多いので大きい荷物をお持ちの方は少し疲れるかもしれません。動物が好きなので、良く慣れた大人しい大型犬にも癒されました！またコーンウォールへ行く機会があったらぜひとも利用したいところです。

Only a very short one night stay here at The Arches but I was made to feel very welcome by Nikki and Merlin, the friendliest, softest German Shepherd dog you will ever meet. I had the Green Room which was en-suite. I arrived earlier than the desired check-in time and the room wasn’t quite ready but this was no trouble and I was able to leave my bags whilst I ventured into town. The room was very clean, with an extremely comfortable double four poster bed. Good tea and coffee facilities with a fridge too. I had an early breakfast but unfortunately I wasn’t too hungry so didn’t get chance to enjoy what I had initially ordered. I has cereal, toast and coffee before leaving for an early meeting. Hopefully I will be visiting St Austell more frequently now on business and where I’ll look to book in at The Arches again.

Absolutely lovely stay with a lovely view of the St Austell viaduct. Quiet little area and a lovely room with a stunning four poster bed, en suite shower and tv. Tea, coffee, a kettle and a small fridge are also provided with the room. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a few days break although maybe not the best for families (although there are other rooms provided.). The listing also mentioned there was a dog living on site as well, I'm not the biggest fan of dogs but this one was absolutely lovely and perfectly well behaved.
