Very friendly host who provided comprehensive information about arrival and the town in general. There is a large dog (Merlin) who is quiet and well behaved so nothing to worry about. Easy walk to town. Breakfast was excellent. Comfortable, warm room. Property is starting to show its age (our windows didn't shut too well and there was a small leak letting water in onto the sill) but the owner is refurbishing it. If you have a room at the front the road is quite close so there is some traffic noise. Would stay again.

Great location for Eden sessions
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.

Lovely welcome and service at The Arches.
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.
