Best breakfast in Cornwall! Nikki was a great host, even a cup of tea on arrival which was well received after a long drive. Great location for Eden Sessions. Merlin is such a well behaved dog and loves a biscuit. A real home from home. Thank you for having us!

A beautiful little place, the room was clean and comfortable, and the landlady couldn't do do even to make my stay great.
Also the B&B is home to the bestest boy in the South,a lovely placid dog named Merlin.
I will definitely be staying again next time I travel to St Austell.

Enjoyed our stay at The Arches.
Nikki, the owner was very welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.
Gave us lots of information about places to visit and eat.
Informed us she had a large dog (called Merlin), he was as placid as could be, very well behaved and calm. We took our dog but Merlin was no threat to ours.
Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
Parking was available.
Only small issue was not having en-suite as bathroom which was disappointing as it was across the corridor. It wasn’t shared so wasn’t a major issue.
Our room was quite small and the decor and furniture very basic.
Good to have a fridge. Enjoyed our stay.

Nicki is friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. She is knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast is lovely, good choice and always hot and cooked well. If your a dog lover then you will love Merlin he is the most gentle friendly dog you will ever meet and he will greet you every morning and lead you to the biscuit jar for you to feed him. He is so gentle when he takes it from you. He knows never to enter the breakfast room until after everyone has finished and then he will bring you his toys to show you.

ARCHES B&B IS A MUST !!
We stayed one night in June a very warm welcome from Nikki on arrival made us feel at home. Booked the Green Room a beautiful four poster bed, very comfortable and clean. Tea/coffee making facilities, TV and small fridge. Bathroom is well equipped with nice towels, flannels and toiletries.
Breakfast is of high quality and presented well. * No grease present *
Menu offers a great choice you will not be disappointed :)
Parking available !
A quiet location only ten minutes walk to the town center and within easy reach of Eden Project, Charlestown, Mevagissey etc
Nikki is a wonderful host top marks for hospitality !
Merlin the German Shepherd is absolutely gorgeous, friendly and very obedient he even knows not to enter the breakfast room when your eating ! By the end of your stay he will have you trained to give him a biscuit from his jar in the hallway.
Nobody would ever know a dog lived on the premises it is absolutely spotless and smells lovely.
Once breakfast serving had finished Nikki came and chatted with us still offering more tea/coffee which was lovely to have a host give you their time. We both support Live Music so Nikki suggested other towns events to check out etc ..
A very relaxed Sunday departure fabulous stay looking forward to our return in Aug for the Blue Room.
Nikki and Merlin made us most welcome !
Highly recommend staying here !!

The B&B was clean, well presented and tidy. Nikki, the owner, was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Merlin, the gorgeous German Shepherd puppy is just adorable and well behaved. We only stayed for one night and it suited our needs perfectly. There was ample tea, coffee and milk in the room. A hairdryer, Iron and Ironing board was provided. Breakfast was excellent.
My only negative comments would be, and they aren't really negative, is the parking is very tight and a bit of a headache to access, the signage from the road is not very clear and the room we were in was very tight on space at the end of the bed.
I would recommend the B&B.

Only a very short one night stay here at The Arches but I was made to feel very welcome by Nikki and Merlin, the friendliest, softest German Shepherd dog you will ever meet.
I had the Green Room which was en-suite. I arrived earlier than the desired check-in time and the room wasn’t quite ready but this was no trouble and I was able to leave my bags whilst I ventured into town.
The room was very clean, with an extremely comfortable double four poster bed. Good tea and coffee facilities with a fridge too.
I had an early breakfast but unfortunately I wasn’t too hungry so didn’t get chance to enjoy what I had initially ordered. I has cereal, toast and coffee before leaving for an early meeting. Hopefully I will be visiting St Austell more frequently now on business and where I’ll look to book in at The Arches again.

Absolutely lovely stay with a lovely view of the St Austell viaduct.Quiet little area and a lovely room with a stunning four poster bed, en suite shower and tv. Tea, coffee, a kettle and a small fridge are also provided with the room. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a few days break although maybe not the best for families (although there are other rooms provided.).The listing also mentioned there was a dog living on site as well, Im not the biggest fan of dogs but this one was absolutely lovely and perfectly well behaved.

This bed and breakfast was pleasant as was the owner and family. I only stayed over night and found the room to be of usual size. Bed king size and comfortable, shower room clean with all necessary amenities.
Dog friendly B and B which I wanted so don't complain if you don't like dogs.
