We really enjoyed staying at The Hive. It has everything you need and so nicely decorated, with lovely gardens if the weather is kind. Hosts were lovely to meet and with all the little touches provided, we couldn't have wanted more.

The flat is well equipped and the milk, butter and breakfast items were much appreciated. The garden was a lovely space to relax in after the heat of the day. We were able to arrange to drop off our luggage which was really helpful as we arrived...

The property was as described and in a central location in St Austell. We did not use our car, instead relied on public transport. We enjoyed being able to sit out in the garden. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the breakfast...

The hosts were really lovely and put a lot of effort into making it cosy. They left some pastries, jams etc out. The place is set up well for a short stay.

The flat is comfortable, clean and warm. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedroom really comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the honey available to purchase and made by bees in the garden!

Enjoy easy access to everything from this perfectly located home base. In the middle of town close to all amenities, transport links and restaurants. Close to The Eden Project, Charlestown, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Mevagissey. Some of the best beaches in Cornwall within 2 miles in St Austell Bay. There is driveway parking available for one car. No vans, campers or caravans please.
Hi, I am your host Kate. I’m married to Alan and my mum, Mavis lives with us. Two indoor cats so you might see them at the windows. Nature lovers and bee keepers. Lots to explore in the garden or just relax We live in the house above but you have your own entrance in garden. I will give you privacy unless you need my help.
In the town centre close to bus and train. Many fantastic walks close by. We are in the heart of the clay trails. Miles of beautiful countryside to explore. Bus stops and train station close by
