5 /5 Penny: Just back from a relaxing two night stay in this lovely pub. Even before we arrived the telephone contact was first rate - relaxed and friendly, which carried through to the first greeting as we walked through the door on a very busy day in the pub. It felt like being welcomed by old friends. This is my perfect pub. Plainly loved by the locals, real fire, lots of seating areas, good food and fabulous service from every single member of staff. I won’t single out any one person because it wouldn’t be fair, but shout out to the adorable Black Labrador Pepe, the “house dog”, who melts the hearts of all who meet him. We ate dinner here both nights and the menu was varied and good, with a special mention for the Cornish fish soup; delicious! Portions are generous, and the cooked breakfast was amazing. My room was comfortable and peaceful, with a large bed, and I slept really well. Remember this is a quite old pub though and not a modern hotel, so it has the odd quirk here and there (eg.quite narrow stairs to the rooms) - which to me only adds to its charm. I loved every aspect of it, but what stands out is the extraordinarily good service, where no request was too much trouble, and where staff and owner alike were obviously very keen to ensure that our stay was as enjoyable and restful as possible. It was an altogether wonderful stay, and I will definitely visit again.
