“One of our long-time favourite hotels, this delightful sky-blue house makes a perfect base for exploring south Cornwall or setting off for the Isles of Scilly. Still run by Jean ('60s iconic model, Jean Shrimpton) and Michael Cox, together with their son Thaddeus and a small team, it's a marvellous antidote to bland contemporary style with its eclectic, ravishingly pretty mix of paintings, antiques and objects d'art, all in a characterful 1660 house. No restaurant, but plenty around, including the Abbey Restaurant next door. Highly recommended.”
They say
“The Abbey Hotel sits high above the harbour on a narrow street overlooking Mounts Bay towards St Michaels Mount. Dating from the 17th Century, it is small intimate hotel filled with antiques, painting and flowers from it's small walled garden.”
