The Black Swan  

Tucked in the village of Gweek on the South Cornish Coast, this 4-star B&B sits near Helston and the dramatic Lizard Peninsula. You’re minutes from the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and a short drive from Poldark Mine and St. Michael’s Mount.

Just four en-suite double rooms—named Raspberry, Blackberry, Gooseberry and Mulberry—each freshly decorated with a fruity twist. Rooms feel light and airy thanks to large sash windows and come with tea and coffee making facilities, clock radios, digital programming and modern bathrooms with slate floors and large showers. The lobby adds a cosy touch with a fireplace and the house holds a tidy, smoke-free vibe.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge, tour and ticket assistance, and easy access to sailing and scuba diving nearby. Free self-parking is available onsite. Expect simple comforts and, given the coastal setting, plenty of chances to wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Free self-parking and a conference/meeting hall are available. Wireless internet access is provided (availability and charges may apply).

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant and unwind at the bar/lounge. Breakfast is offered for a fee and the kitchen focuses on local Cornish flavors.
