Mandeley Guest House

An excellent place to stay in the western region of Cornwall, in every respect. A great room, well-sited and well-furnished, with a number of splendid little touches -- and a lovely, friendly host, who provides great breakfasts every day. It provides a most convenient base for exploring Cornwall, especially the far end. We'll happily stay at Mandeley again, when next we're in that area.

Amazing host and overall great place to stay. Rooms are new and spotless. I’ve loved the small details and how everything is thought over with care by the hosts: beach towel, bath robe, bottle opener, automatic night light, hair dryer, etc. The quality of bedding and towels is superb. Free tea/coffee, water and cookies in the room. The breakfasts were delicious! Great coffee, tasty full English, as well as fruit, yogurts, pastries, and cereal. Couldn’t wish for more. Great price/quality value, can only say good things about this place. Would highly recommend!

There is a warm welcome at Mandeley. All three rooms are well decorated and comfortable. Easily accessible, as the rooms are on the ground floor. The breakfast room is up three steps. Whilst we were there there was a disabled lady who managed them with a little difficulty. The breakfast offers a good selection of fruit, yoghurt and cereals as well as cooked Full English. The bread is home made. Fresh milk is provided daily for your room. The shower offers a good amount of power. Exiting the property is a little tricky. We have an Auris and there was little room, either side, to get through.

What a friendly guest house! Brigit and Paul made us so welcome, and the breakfast was excellent - wonderful choice of fresh fruit, including strawberries! We stayed for 2 nights and were very comfortable Although the bathroom in Rebecca is a bit small, it was immaculately fitted and the towels were soft and perfumed - never experienced that before! The location is good for many National Trust gardens and restaurants. We look forward to visiting again, as we have nieces in Helston.

Our hosts, Birgitt and Paul made us feel very welcome from start to finish of our stay. They were very friendly and welcoming and even suggested some good places to visit that we didn’t know about. The breakfast was amazing, there was fresh orange juice, home made granola, a good selection of fruit and lovely Greek yoghurt. There was also a full English breakfast of your choice that was freshly cooked and plenty of tea, coffee and toast and a good selection of jams plus marmalade and honey. The room was always spotlessly clean and very comfortable, as was the bathroom and the shower was as hot as you wanted it and the beautiful white towels were so soft and fluffy, I forgot to ask Birgitt what her secret was! There was also tea and coffee and fresh milk and water left in the room every day. There is a nice garden at the back with a bench and table to sit at too, and of course we could not forget Murphy the cockapoo, who was also very friendly and very well behaved. We would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a central base in southern Cornwall.

came for 2 nights with family for a trip to cornwall. both hosts, brigitt and paul were incredible and very welcoming. beds and room were comfortable as well as tea, coffee and hot chocolate factories in the room. rooms were clean and tidy every morning! parking is a bit tight however not an issue for basic vehicles. breakfast is delicious with pastries, full english and fresh fruit. Thank You!!

What a fabulous guest house. We stayed for 6 nights, our room was spotless as was the en-suite.Tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk. Birgitt and Paul, our hosts, were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent, including fresh fruit, homemade granola, Greek Yogurt plus a full English or variations of, all cooked to order. As there are a maximum of six guests at anyone time breakfast is served around one central table, it was lovely to chat to the other guests. The three double rooms have their own entrance and there is also plenty of parking. The guest house is about 10 minutes walk from the main town and Helston is a good central place to explore Cornwall from. We would definitely stay here again.

As part of our stay in Cornwall we had the pleasure of staying at The Mandeley Guest House in Helston This is a beautiful place with rooms named after the Daphne Du Maurier novel Rebecca. The guest area had 3 rooms with their own entrance. Our room was very well appointed with tea/coffee facilities and biscuits. We even had luxury dressing gowns. There was also a separate lounge room specifically for the guests to use. There is a separate breakfast room for the guests just a few yards from the 3 rooms. As only 6 of us at any given time, we were able to share a large table together. The breakfast was very good with an array of fresh fruit, cereal, and yogurts together with a full English breakfast. Our hosts Paul & Birgitt were accommodating and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this guest house and would book it again on our next visit to Helston.

Room (Rebecca) was calm and cosy, yet also situated along a main road which gave access to the key routes, super market and fuel station, we were very pleased with how convenient yet quiet it was! -Plenty of hanging space for clothes -Tea, coffee, bit chocolate available with fresh milk upon request -The slatted bathroom door put people off but was in fact perfectly usable, if different -Pretty garden view -Lounge for guests who want somewhere relaxing to sit and chat (I imagine this would make longer stays much more comfortable) Breakfast: -Plenty of choice (cooked breakfast, toast, jams, honey and condiments, baked items, cereals, yoghurt, mix of fruits) -Home made items were excellent, bread and granola superb - Fresh local ingredients made a big difference - Hot food cooked to order Hosts: - Friendly and courteous - Happy to help with anything - Excellent communication - We even met their very well behaved dog! Overall a wonderful, convenient stay, fairly priced and a great choice for a short stay in Helston
