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!
Lovely hotel just off the Saints Way and they are really welcoming to walkers. Excellent breakfast, best eggs we had on the trip. Just a few minutes walk from a pub and chippy for an evening meal, these are on the Saints Way so you can eat before checking in and save yourself the extra steps. The building is old and historically interesting. The gardens are lovely to enjoy your coffee in
Room spacious and clean. Staff all brilliant and very attentive. Lovely fresh breakfast - scrambled egg and smoked salmon was superb. Lots of off road parking.
Very interesting and unique property. Owner was super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was included and excellent. Only stayed one night but would recommend it.

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 convenient place to stay for the Eden project, very friendly host, lovely breakfast, but internal decor is a bit dated
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
