The Cove in Pentewan, near St. Austell, Cornwall, is a popular bed and breakfast run by a friendly and attentive mother and daughter team from a building known as Piskey Cove. "Piskey" is Cornish for "pixie".
The rear part of the building was constructed in the seventeenth century and was originally a row of fishermen's cottages occupying the banks of a small estuary. The front part was appended to three of the cottages to form one building.
A comfortable lounge area is available for guests to use, with a wood burner, coffee tables, two settees and an armchair carved from the root of a pine tree. A wide range of games and books are on offer for visitors to use.
Despite its modest size as a dwelling one has a selection of options at breakfast time. Whether the guest has a traditional English in mind or something altogether more healthy, the hosts are eager to please. The "bed" part of the deal is equally attractive, with clean, spacious and comfortable rooms.
The locality is convenient for visits to The Eden Project, Lanhydrock House and Caerhays Castle, but it is worth spending a little quality time also in Pentewan's picturesque village.
