Exceptional service from friendly and generous hosts. Stayed 2 nights, good location for exploring Cornwall. Room was snug as described, spotlessly clean and comfortable. John and Amy are great hosts. Small things like having fresh milk available to guests for tea or coffee and having access to the breakfast room for dinner made the stay more enjoyable. Breakfast options were varied and delicious. Overall I can't say enough about how great the hosts are. Would recommend to friends and family without hesitation.

I cannot say enough nice things about gecko's rest the couple John and Amy that run it were so lovely and friendly and helpful the place wasn't just clean it was immaculate all everything was upgraded brand new we just had the best time I would recommend it to anyone I speak to. The little town was a 5 minute walk with plenty of dining options and shopping and things to do right on the ocean absolutely beautiful little town. They had a beautiful little terrace out front where you could sit after a long day of being a tourist have a glass of wine watch the sunset was lovely.

We stayed in the sea-view room on the top floor and it exceeded our expectations. Great view, clean, modern and comfortable, and impressed with the fridge, choice of teas, iron and fan. The WiFi was fast and reserved parking was easy. The breakfast was very delicious and we received top service. We also ordered the breakfast ‘to go’ bag on the second day which was efficient and thoughtfully put together. We had a sausage sandwich with fruit, yogurt and a juice. It was close and a short walk to the town centre. We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived and would like to thank the owners for their brilliant service.

Geckos Rest

Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer war gut. Das Frühstück war super. Man hatte die Gelegenheit im Speisezimmer den Kühlschrank zu benutzen und auch dort mitgebrachte Speisen zu verzehren. Auch konnte man sich Getränke und Snacks aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen, auf eine Liste eintragen und am Ende des Aufenthaltes bezahlen. Gerne würden wir wieder kommen.
