A weird mix, to start, it is a beautiful spot with lovely views next door to an old church. Nice warm welcome, lovely clean, comfortable room. The bed was comfortable, the area very quiet so expect a good sleep! There is a nice note about the new staff working so please be patient, but some basics were just missed. I watched tables being wiped down where the food was just brushed onto the floor, the tables themselves were sticky. I saw four tables go to the bar and ask to pay their bill. The food is ok, I would certainly debate how much is frozen food compared to the "home cooked" I just feel for the money asked to stay, a higher quality of food and basic service could be expected.

Lovely place and village and although we were eating out the meal options looked good and the breakfast was lovely. Downside, difficult getting a taxi, got one in the end but definitely pre book taxi as early as you can, other occasions, I wouldn’t of needed a taxi, only a minor thing this, would stay again though

OK but not outstanding

Friendly and helpful staff, An old and historic building, out of the way, beware the narrow Cornish roads. Stayed 2 nights, overall level of cleanlisness was average. Even though a resident, being asked to settle bill in restaurant before being able to sit outside for dessert was demeaning.

Nice people. Rubbish breakfast. Poor mattress.

The staff were all lovely, The mattress I slept on was really uncomfortable and needed to be changed! The restaurant food in the evening was really good which made it strange that the breakfast was really disappointing! Rubbish cheap sausages, one small slice of bacon and cold coffee.

A village inn in essence, bigger than expected, well looked after and clean with pleasant, helpful staff. Plenty of parking and quiet. Good bar choice and would stay there again. The only slight letdown was the Sunday roast lunch which was over-cooked and tasted and looked like it had been kept warm for hours. The other meals were adequate.

A hidden treasure

Cannot fault friendliness of the staff nor the food. Absolutely amazing service from Amanda, Daisy and Aaron and the rest of the team here. It’s my first visit and I’ve already booked to stay for each month for the rest of the year due to work. Large carpark, good WiFi, safe and welcoming. What more could you want. It’s a hidden treasure.
