In late May,2012, we went to Cornwall, England to participate in a week-long walking holiday run by HF Holidays, a British tour company that owns its own hotels in England. (The program is a lot like Elderhostel - all inclusive lodging, meals, and led walking tours every day with programs in the evening.) Chy Morvah provided a wonderful base from... More

Booked at the last minute and got a pretty decent deal for two of us staying there. It is close enough to walk to the harbour and has well kept grounds and an outdoor pool.

Our recent four night stay at the one in St. Ives Cornwall was the sixth HF "rambling" vacation my wife and I have taken in recent years. Believe us. Chy Morvah provides the best value for... More
