Charming place to stay
The Cornish inn is a charming place to stay. The rooms were so cozy and clean and attractive. I love the fact that they were all dressed up for Christmas. Lindsay's restaurant located in the same building was fantastic as well.

Quick stay
Great hotel, room was clean and tidy. Would have been nice to have a small tv but we survived. Had breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel and it was amazing.

We stayed one night at the Cornish Inn. We were in room 19, The Captain’s Quarters. The room was huge and thoughtfully decorated with antique chairs and furniture in keeping with the old inn theme. The bed was comfortable and a mini fridge was provided. The room had tons of windows which let in a lot of natural light. We appreciated the pull down shades once night fell. We ate dinner at Lindsey’s downstairs and were so glad we did. The food was outstanding! We also appreciated the heads up to get a reservation right away when we checked in, as we probably would not have thought of it. We had a great experience at this inn and would definitely stay here again if we were ever in the area.

The only quibble I had was that there were too few electrical outlets in our, including none between the two double beds and no outlet whatsoever anywhere near one of the beds. It was inconvenient. But the place was otherwise a pleasure and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The staff was very responsive when I complained about the late-night noise from the kitchen staff wafting up to our room; no complaints on the second night of our stay! 😊
The room had no coat hangers, but I was able to find some in the Housekeeping room. The bathroom sink could use some attention: cold faucet drips continually, and the drain plug doesn’t work. This is an historic building, so I understand the difficulty in regulating the heat via radiators, but our room was stiflingly hot; we kept the windows open to stay comfortable. One morning the coffee was not available at 6:30 as promised; breakfast staff and waitstaff in Lindsey’s Kitchen seemed to be late arriving on both mornings of our stay. But overall, a good experience. We will be back!! Thank you!

Stay was fine. But it was my first time in a hotel where there wasn't any plastic drink cups to be able to take my medications before bed. Had to drink from the sink faucet.

Nice quaint and rustic hotel
We stayed an overnight on our way back home. Rustic but very clean facility. Cornish is a nice town to visit. Couple of good restaurants as well. Only complaint about the room was that the shower didn’t work very well - intermittent hot and cold water
