“Fantastic, couldn’t have asked for more”

10.0

12 Jun 2025

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of stopping over here for a night on our way to Falmouth. We’d debated finding a holiday inn instead and so glad that we didn’t. We arrived around 8 and the owners had called ahead to ask us what food we wanted for dinner and kept the kitchen open late so we could eat. There was a great selection of wines in the pub accompanied by knowledgeable staff who told us about the history of the place. The building was so authentic and had a huge garden with stunning views. The bed was a huge four poster and we had a fantastic nights sleep. The owners and staff couldn’t do enough for us, the kind of place you end up having a drink with the owner in the pub at the end of the night (which we did). Thank you so much for such a lovely stay, would recommend to anyone!

Great breakfast (poached eggs and sausages), lovely staff and the most amazing historical building. Would love to see the building restored a little more (I'm an architect)
