Westcroft Guesthouse

This is a wonderful, eclectic place to stay. Truly worthy of the descriptor 'boutique'. Think 1920's art deco and glamour, alongside 70's Biba vibe. There is no single item of furniture or decor that is bland. Everything is interesting to look at or use and is meticulously curated. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable. On top of that, our fascinating host Sarah prepares a fantastic breakfast, much of which is organic and/or sourced locally and is delicious. We loved our stay here and highly recommend a visit.

Superbly comfortable and clean beds and bedding. Accomodation adjusted to suit our current needs. Food sourced locally, including bacon, tomatoes, eggs, mushrooms. Easy going breakfast service. Fresh filter coffee, tea and toast on request. Towels were fluffy and plentiful. Some toiletries ie handwash, shower gel were on hand. A quiet, battery recharging resort. We took beach chairs and towels. We were offered some laundry facilities, which was gratefully accepted.

Sarah the host is one of the best hosts I have ever met, her warm welcome and super beautiful house made our stay so much better, couple that with one of the west country’s best locations only mention that we would revisit every time. The breakfast is absolutely stunning also. I cannot recommend any higher!

Sarah our hostess was amazing, good communication, upgraded us to the bigger accommodation with lounge. Parked at main car park for the 48 hours reasonably priced She met us nearby and escorted us to the house. The interior was very eclectic and arty with fantastic lounge area and view of the kingsands and the waves crashing in which kept us amused as we watched the kids dashing back and forth from the shore. She made our dinner reservations at the neighbouring pub, the devonport, which again was charming..great food and service. She offered us a glass of wine before dinner and some snacks which was unexpected and went out of her way to look after us. The bedroom was amazing and bed very comfortable. The wet room was great and many extra touches and amenities provided. The breakfast was amazing, fresh organic fruits, cereals ..then hot breakfast of our choice..the poached eggs and slow roasted tomatoes were more than restaurant standard. I loved all her individual touches. She has a real passion to look after her guests. I’ve read some reviews, some but very few I feel are a little cruel. Yes we couldn’t find milk for the tea and coffee provided so may be an advisory, but she gave us wine and nibbles which were unexpected. The toiletries were provided if you had forgotten your own,which was sweet. If you are thinking this is a five star hotel, you’d be wrong. Be prepared for quirky, unusual, funky. Some slight over sights if you want milk jiggers or individual toiletries but she more then makes up for these insignificances with her breakfast, her lovely dogs and her kindness and genuine interest. Thank you so much, we will return.

We had the attic room which comprised a bedroom and bathroom which was beautiful but quirky. We loved the time we had in the room (3 nights) but the whole experience could have been so much better. No mugs or milk were provided even though a kettle, sugar and spoon provided. The bottle of water wasn't fresh Cornish water as the bottle says because the seal was broken. On the second morning we came down for breakfast, the table wasn't laid, we had to knock on the kitchen door to wake Sarah the owner up as she was asleep on the sofa and didn't look as though she had been to bed! She came out looking very disheveled. This is not the way to run a guesthouse! That day, we arrived back in the evening to a room which had not been serviced even though Sarah was drinking with her friends in the guest living room as we returned!!!!

I really can't say enough about Sarah and the hospitality she extended to us. Wonderful breakfasts. Fascinating library. A whole floor to ourselves ( bedroom, bath, sitting room. Marvelous stories. Great recommendations as to restaurants, hikes and activities. If you're visiting Kingsand ( a charming town) this is where you should stay.
