Wonderful homely atmosphere, more like a large bed and breakfast than a hotel. Friendly helpful staff (Donna) and a well appointed room. The hotel has obviously undergone a recent thorough refurbishment, and the attention to detail of the owners shows. The gardens are an amazing subtropical rain forest, and well worth a visit. Thank you for a memorable anniversary stay!

The reception and overall experience is second to none. The food could well be found in a 5* restaurant in London. The Inn has a charm all of it's own.

The Inn is situated somewhat outside St. Austell proper and unfortunately unreachable by public transport; getting there on foot is no fun at all. However, that is well compensated by the Waterwheel itself. Nice, comfortable rooms. Absolutely clean, superbly friendly staff, very tasty and imaginative dinners. The garden is another highlight, the adjacent Menacuddle Well garden almost even more.

A very warm welcome and amazing customer service. Beautiful room with lovely view of the garden. Great to have an on-site bar and restaurant. The breakfast had a great range and perfectly cooked. We had a really great stay. It is on a busy road but it quietens down at night.

Francesca and the rest of the staff were really friendly. The food and accommodation was great. The gardens were superb, like a mini-Heligan. Very unexpected.

A super b & b with great staff in a good location for visiting all the different places. We stayed for 4 nights b & b and also used the restaurant for three of our evening meals. The staff were excellent and both friendly and helpful. The service at both breakfast and evening meal (if you chose to eat in the restaurant) were first rate and the chef is excellent. The menu offers a good choice and there are daily specials offering additional choices. Our bedroom was comfortable with an excellent shower and the usual soaps, shampoo etc. The tea/coffee tray was replenished daily without having to ask for extras etc. Excellent! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Waterwheel to anybody visiting the area. A special thanks to Donna who couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was great!
