St Day was once the mining centre for mid-Cornwall until nearby Redruth took over the title, and you can still see the terraces of granite cottages originally built for the miners. The village was originally named after the little known Saint Day or Dye (better known in Brittany). The village now has a pub and convenience store, as well as a granite, gothic-style church dating back to 1828

Paul
We had all the facilities we needed and although we didn't use them, there was a good range of DVD's and Playstation games. The bed was very comfortable and in a decent sized room. The welcome package was very much appreciated after a long drive as was the set of detailed travel instructions sent by email to help negotiate the extensive roadworks in the area. It was good to meet the owner who made us feel very welcome. Paul
