Very comfortable bed, spacious clean room, quiet, very good breakfast, nice friendly couple, plenty of parking, nice location with a good pub 10 mins walk away. Good price for accommodation and value for money. Will stay again.
Upon arrival the inside looked a little tired however the rooms were very big with privatre facilities and super king size bed. Breakfast is absolutely wonderful, Jenny is a wonderful host and nothing is a trouble.
We received a warm welcome and the owners were friendly and polite. The abbey was easy to locate and our room was comfortable and a good size. The breakfast is excellent and you can walk to a nearby pub for dinner. Pleased to see parking was provided as well. From here we explored the jail, Fowey, Charlestown and everything in between so it’s a central location. I would recommend the abbey for a nice place to stay if you want to see the surrounding areas.
Very interesting, well kept property. Room comfortable, breakfast very good.

Parking easy, reception area not great but checked in ok and shown to room. Room is fine but tired and kitchen too dark and poor quality fittings. Shower not high pressure but ok.
A good freshly cooked full English breakfast, and friendly owners.
Very interesting and unique property. Owner was super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was included and excellent. Only stayed one night but would recommend it.
The whole experience was very good: the welcoming and warmth of Jenny the host, the setting and interesting property, the room and comfortable large bed, excellent breakfast. We wouldn't hesitate returning.
Very warm welcome and informative check-in. We were staying here at the end of our first day walking the Saints Way from Padstow to Fowey, so we were in need of comfortable accommodation and a good breakfast and St Benets Abbey provided both. Very comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, excellent cleanliness. Would thoroughly recommend to others.
A lovely old property , steeped in history. Very unique! Wonderful friendly welcome , made to feel very special
On arrival. Breakfast was lovely . Very easy parking . The bed was super comfy ! Highly recommended.
Jenny was a wonderful host. Hot individual selected breakfast items freshly cooked. Delicious and lots of choices. I loved the eggs with smoked salmon. Room was lovely. Historic old Benedictine abbey modernized. Lanivet Inn walkable and recommend it for dinner. Would stay at Abbey again if visiting Cornwall.
Lovely mini break. Host very welcoming and friendly. Spotlessly clean. Delightful four poster ensuite room. Great breakfast, and location. Would stay again

Great bed. Good breakfast.
Bed: great quality, excellent sleep.
Breakfast: good quality, well cooked.
Interesting place. Not instagramable but putting aside the dated asthmatics it delivered what we needed.
What a little gem we found, suited our travelling plans, was central to places we planned on visiting. This place is so picturesque set at the bottom on a hill, majestic trees all the way up the hill, with a stream running around the front. We were warmly greeted by a wonderful lady, Jenny.
The room was spacious and very well looked after. We will definitely be booking here again, and thank you for making us feel welcomed🤗
We agreed with some of the other reviews, that it a bit quirky in parts. Bits are a bit old fashioned, but everything is very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Only real negative was that things that would be easy and cheap to fix were not done, things like squeaking doors and replacing blackened silicone sealant around the bath.
There is a pub about 10 minutes walk away serving good beer and food. Never used it, but I believe the chippy across from the pub is also OK.
Generally happy and would stay again.
A very pleasant stay at an unusual hotel in a building dating back to the middle ages. Definitely will go back again. Super nice staff, breakfast is excellent!
