"Very nice Holiday Inn Express right next to the services, south of Bodmin. Very clean, great breakfast, excellent staff, surprisingly quiet given the proximity to the dual carriageway. Very warm room with no opening windows, and shower water pressure a little on the low side, £6 for overnight parking but positives easily outweigh the negatives. Used as an overnight stop whilst visiting the Eden Project, about a 20 minute drive away."

"We had a lovely week at the apartment. When we arrived we were welcomed by our friendly host Katrina. Inside the apartment we found a lovely welcome gift of scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream and a bottle of chilled Proseco. The apartment is spotlessly clean and very comfortable, Parking is at a premium in the village and you will soon appreciate the parking space provided with the apartment. The hosts have thought of everything that you are likely to need in the apartment during your stay. There is a gift shop and an excellent coffee shop in the village square. The Ship Inn is an excellent pub and the meals that we had were very good. Lovely beer garden opposite the pub. The beach is only a short walk from the village. We have no reservation about recommending a stay at this apartment in Pentewan."
