First impressions deceive at Trevose Guest House, a lovely stone cottage right by the
cathedral. It looks compact but actually boasts very spacious rooms with significant com-
fort and well-loved old wooden furnishings. Character oozes from every pore of the place
and a benevolent welcome is a given.
Rosslyn Villa£

On the main street, this place has old-fashioned
charm and is run with gentle courtesy by the charming octogenarian owner. It's a real bar-
gain: the rooms are comfortable, with reassuringly chunky old televisions and spotless en
suite bathrooms. The four-poster double and guest lounge are particularly appealing.
There's no breakfast included, but bring some bread to toast and eat it in the conservatory.

cafe make a clean break from the omnipresent heritage and history of this coastline.
Ciabattas and salads stuffed with tasty deli ingredients make it a good lunch stop; the
more elaborate dinner mains (£12 to £18) usually include fine seafood choices.
