YHA Eden Project 3 stars

Par

YHA is the official on-site glamping accommodation provider for the Eden Project, one of Cornwall's most recognisable attractions. YHA Eden Project is a unique place to stay and is perfectly in tune with its eco-friendly surroundings. The location was great - super near Eden Project, with a great starry night sky view. We had a great night's sleep in our cozy landpod. They provided us with a box of firewood and we had a lovely night with our bottles of wine. Staff were also really helpful and accommodating our request for an extra battery pack as one of our party required the use of a CPAP machine throughout the night.

YHA Treyarnon Bay 3 stars

Padstow

Located in the picturesque Cornwall village of Treyarnon, this YHA hostel is just 50 metres from the sandy beach. This beautiful country house-style building offers affordable accommodation and a restaurant. The Location is second to none. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious (I had the Veggie full b'fast) - and particularly enjoyed because the kitchen was going to have to close due to Covid and I got the impression they were just bending over backwards to be helpful. They were super-Covid-Safe. I'm fussy with having painful joints - so the bed was also surprisingly comfortable.
