The Skylark has a superb location
in the centre of Colva just 200 metres from the beach. Although in
a central location, there are paddy fields behind the
hotel where it's not unusual to see buffalo grazing
and you can see the sea from the first floor of the
new block. This part of Colva beach is very busy
with lots of beach shacks, watersports and all
manner of hustle and bustle, but walk a few
minutes either side and the beach becomes much
quieter, where you can find long stretches with plenty
of space all to yourself.
We think the Skylark is a
real gem, which has had lots of loving care from its
owners Debbie and Snowkon. Debbie who was
originally from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk went to
Colva in 1996 and has been there ever since! They
have upgraded the property from a simple guest
house to a superb 2-jewel hotel with the finishing touches
being completed when we were there in January
2007. The hotel has two blocks with the Jewel in
the Crown allocation being in the block next to the
reception, and a good sized pool with plenty of
space for sunbathing. The 'Tate' restaurant and bar
is next to the reception and is British-run offering a
superb international menu.
Our rooms are allocated on the upper floor and are tastefully furnished and decorated to a high
specification and offer a standard that is much
higher than the average 2-jewel property. Each has a
ceiling fan, ensuite shower & WC and balcony or terrace.
This hotel offers a good standard of
accommodation in a great location, just 200 metres
from the beach and is ideal for those who want to
be where all the action is yet able to find peace and
tranquillity when they need it. Accommodation is
offered on a room only basis.
25 rooms.
