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.
