Vegan B&B Cornwall Review

We had the pleasure of being the first guests at one of the very few vegan bed and breakfasts in the UK (Another being Fox Hall in Kendal). It is based near Mevagissey in Cornwall, a stone throw away from The Lost Gardens of Heligan and not far from The Eden Project. Kay and Simon live with their son Hugo and are a fantastic vegan couple who made us feel like we were at home from the first minute. We can't say enough positive things about our trip, the only downside was the weather but that's Cornwall for you! The bedroom was beautifully done and large with a very comfy bed and a large en-suite bathroom with a great shower.

The Bedroom

Breakfast is included, a very healthy and delicious porridge filled with lots of tasty treats and their own freshly baked bread and preserves. It was very nutritious and kept us going well into the afternoon, one of those meals that makes you feel fantastic and so energised. We had dinner at the house two of three nights (£5 for two courses) and on both occasions the food was equally tasty and the portions generous. They also offer many drinks (various teas etc) and you have to try the homemade nettle beer which even Ruth loved and she doesn't even like beer usually.

If all this wasnt enough they also share their home with the friendliest cat we have ever met called Flea. He's a dog in a cat's body, soft as anything, you can pick him up, stroke his tummy and he purrs continually. Kay and Simon are very lucky we didnt cat-nap him! Lupin the other resident feline is also friendly, albeit much more reserved.

All of the above combined with a prime situation in a lovely part of Cornwall you would expect the price to be high but that isn't the case. At £20 per one person bed and breakfast and £35 for a couple it represents amazing value and is of course totally VEGAN! We expect it to become very popular but will certainly hope to return as long as there are still vacancies to allow us to do so! You can contact them via airbnb.
