Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Cornerways Guest House is praised for its fantastic location, very close to the harbour and restaurants. The rooms are cosy, clean, and well-equipped, often featuring amenities like a fridge and USB-A charging ports. Some guests have noted that certain rooms, such as the 'Jeanne' room, can be quite small. Many guests enjoyed fabulous views over the harbour from their rooms and found the location ideal, with Harbour Sand (5 minutes walking distance) for swimming and Porthmeor Beach also nearby.

i found a beautiful room that was very well equipped. quality fixtures and fittings were present. the room felt luxurious. i was allowed early admission and could leave my bags until i was ready to head home later, that was very helpful.
the car park was quite far. the location was excellent, but the distance to the car park was an inconvenience. i had to walk a bit further than i expected.
