Accommodations wrap-up

We love to travel, but it's sure nice to get back to your bed for a full night's sleep - or two!
We've gotten a couple of requests to recap our accommodations and what we thought of them, so here goes!
Edinburgh, Scotland - Apex Waterloo: Stayed there 3 nights - and was a very nice hotel.  We had a nice-sized room on the 5th floor w/a view of the city.  Hotel also had a bar and restaurant and would total recommend staying there.
Falmouth, Cornwall - Lugo Rock Hotel: Was actually more of a B&B - had the attic suite with a really nice sized room and large bathroom (and WiFi).  Good walking distance to a couple of restaurants on the beach.  Again would recommend.
Portloe, Cornwall - The Ship Inn: Small B&B w/a bar & restaurant.  Nice place - especially as it's one of the only ones in this tiny port!
Mevagissey, Cornwall - Kervernel B&B:  Small place - typically only has one room (en suite), but since we had 4 of us and accommodations were tight in this place, they opened another room for us.  Couple was nice and had done major renovations on this very old/historic home.
Charlestown, Cornwall - Ardenconnel B&B:  Very nice rooms in this small B&B which was very close to the little port & restaurants.  They had 4 cats, so what can I say - we loved the place and would recommend;)
Fowey, Cornwall - The Galleon Inn: Nice size rooms over a pub/tavern right in the heart of the town.  Unfortunately we had a Saturday night stay (not to mention a wedding party) so needless to say there was a lot of music and noise late into the night.  But the second night was just fine & the people were great - so would recommend - although maybe not on a Saturday night:).
East Looe, Cornwall - Bridgeside Guest House:  Nice people with a cute breakfast area & bar.  Rooms could use some updating - bathrooms were a little lacking/tiny and our bed was missing a fully functioning box spring.
Portwrinkle, Cornwall - Fraggle Rock B&B: Yes, it's named after that Fraggle Rock:)  Small updated B&B with a nice view of the sea.  And since it's one of the few options in this tiny town of one restaurant, I would recommend if you need a place in Portwrinkle! (Though don't expect cell service)
Plymouth, Devon - Brittany Guest House: Great place close to everything and good people running the joint.  Even had WiFi!
London - Hotel Indigo: Stayed 3 nights total.  Great big room (with WiFi) and nice updated bathroom in a very nice hotel close to Paddington Station (block away) and Hyde Park.  Would totally recommend staying here - especially if you need to access Paddington for an early morning flight!  Would not recommend the attached restaurant however since the service is somewhat lacking (even with the breakfast option).
There you have it - and let us know if you would like any further information!
