Stayed for a work trip, Ample parking space, good pub and peaceful sleep. It was a Tuesday night stay and neighbouring church bell practice was going on until 9pm. Didn't bother me much but just to share for future bookers.

We loved the size of the double room en suite overlooking the countryside. We loved being in such an old building, and the way they decorated the walls with local historical significance. To think my ancestors may have entered this place through the generations.

We stayed in the cottage. It was lovely and very clean and cozy. We had an amazing stay. Lovely secluded little village- so peaceful. We used it as a base and drove to various parts of Cornwall each day. Pub was really old and traditional- and served lovely food. Breakfast was great- plentiful and hot. All staff members that we met were lovely and all very friendly. Would definitely stay again!

The staff was excellent, the room clean, the parking easy and the bar had a tv to watch the game. Down point was the bathroom - with a shower that didn't maintain the temperature of the water for longer that seconds and I had to adjust it all the time. Very nice for the price, but the romantic recommendation mislead us somewhat.
