This is our 3rd stay at the Old Temperance House. It is a fabulous place in the centre of St Keverne. A luxurious bedroom and bathroom and a fabulous breakfast. Kevin and Claire are lovely hosts. We would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a home from home and a great base to explore the south coast of Cornwall.

St Keverne stay.

A lovely house run by lovely people. Very welcoming and helpful. Breakfasts really good. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. An excellent base for exploring the tip of Cornwall. A couple of good pubs within very easy walking distance.

Lovely stay in St Keverne

We stayed at OTC for 10 nights. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, with no major issues. Plus points: - lovely room with a comfortable bed (we stayed in Champagne) - large ensuite with powerful, hot shower and deep bath, dressing table and a mirror you could use to do hair and makeup (I find this is lacking in most guesthouses and even hotels!) - Good breakfasts. I liked how they are delivered to your room. I'm not a morning person and like to eat breakfast in my dressing gown! - Good supplies of tea, coffee, biscuits etc on demand. - Free parking in the village! This saved us so much money. - Lovely location, set in a village square with two excellent pubs 30 seconds walk away. Spar shop open until 10pm each evening. Things we think could have been improved: - Just one thing, really. We understand concerns around covid, and this may be a little unfair, but it did slightly impact our experience. We stayed 10 nights and our room really could have done with a vacuum halfway through. Eating breakfast and dragging in sand from the beach (we tried to minimise this) meant things were looking and feeling a little grubby towards the end of our stay. We would have loved a change of bedding too. We were offered a change, but we'd have to do it ourselves, which is not what you come on holiday for. All in all, a pleasant break. Ideal for shorter stays. Would recommend 😊
