Cornwall Accommodation
Cornwall Accommodation
Wherever you choose to stay, you will be very well looked after.
We know that your accommodation and the welcome and cuisine you receive from your hosts is as important as the walks themselves. Over the past 38 years, we have built lasting partnerships with some fine accommodation providers. All are on the spectacular north coast of Cornwall, in and around the lovely unspoilt village of St Agnes. During 2026, our week long walking holidays will range from about £1,175 per person (staying with a local family in a B&B) – up to £1,363 per person (luxury hotel).
Please request our 2026 brochure and detailed accommodation list for the latest prices, here.
Whatever your choice, you will find yourself a short walk from splendid cliffs and beaches and the charming North coast village of St Agnes. This is the fictional village of ‘St Annes’, which Winston Graham wrote about in his popular “Poldark” novels, made later into 2 very successful TV series. The village is situated some 9 miles west of Cornwall’s charming cathedral city of Truro, where the trains from London arrive. The National Trust own large tracts of the local landscape, including the prominent 700 foot high St Agnes Beacon – with stunning views all over mid Cornwall and up and down the spectacular north coast. From here, one can see all the way down the north coast – past Godrevy Lighthouse (where Virginia Woolf found the inspiration to write “To The Lighthouse”) to St Ives and beyond – and right up the north coast to Trevose Head and its lighthouse.
You have a choice of accommodation:
The Beacon Country House is a 3 star privately owned Country House, situated on the southerly slopes of St Agnes Beacon, just outside the village of St Agnes. It stands in extensive grounds of 2 acres and enjoys one of the more spectacular vistas in the area. The 11 rooms are tastefully furnished and well appointed, with “en-suite” facilities. Each room has colour television, direct dial telephones, tea and coffee making facilities and a standard of comfort commensurate with their AA 3 star rating. There are also several luxury “Shephered Huts” in the grounds which you can rent, fully self contained. Only breakfasts are served in the dining room and both the dining room and lounge take full advantage of the view. The well stocked bar is a pleasant place in which to relax in the evenings. During the lighter months, it is quite easy to walk into St Agnes for dinner at one of the many fine restaurants and pubs there and Nigel and Jayne at th The Beacon will advise. Then, after dinner you might take a stroll up to the top of St Agnes Beacon (700ft high, 10 mins) via the nearby footpath. From here, really spectacular views of the sunset over The Atlantic Ocean can be observed. The village, cliffs and Chapel Porth beach are all about 15-20 mins walk away. If you would like to be in a nice quiet location, with great panoramas and very comfortable rooms, with a superb friendly family service, then this might be your choice of accommodation. Always very good reviews from our guests.
Ted and Jeannie Ellis will welcome you into their eclectic former Country Gentleman’s residence, Victorian stone built and tastefully converted into a hotel which now offers only B&B. The very central location of The Cleaderscroft in the village places it within 5 mins walks of many of St Agnes’s fine eating places and pubs. There are 5 tastefully furnished rooms (including two four posters) and 2 self contained apartments. Ted and Jeannie are a popular couple in the village and everyone who has stayed there just loves it – they are quirky and eclectic and have a wonderful collection of odd and wonderful artefacts from all over the world in the hotel. Please contact us to enquire about availability in 2026. Always highly enjoyed by those who choose to stay there, now over 30 years or more!
We also offer Home Stays and Pubs/Inns – please request the fully detailed accommodations and 2026 prices list by email.
We are confident that wherever you choose to stay, you will be very well looked after. I hope you can join us on one of our wonderful walking weeks during 2026.
Kind regards, Martin Hunt.
