    Nothing we didn’t like.

    The hotel is so cosy and has a warm feel as soon as you get there. All the staff were so friendly and attentive. The ladies at breakfast were fantastic. They spoilt our dog Winston every day with sausages and treats. They even packed a surprise gift of food for him on check out for our journey. Breakfast everyday was excellent. You get continental and any cooked breakfast as well. Great value for money. We also had the Sunday Roast and it was 10/10. Great portions and was so tasty. I also had one of the best sticky toffee puddings with clotted cream! We bought a freshly baked granary loaf to take to our next location. Couldn’t recommend the bread enough! They have a deli shop which has lots of lovely food. We would definitely stay here again. The location is in the middle and near the border of Cornwall. Easy to get to places and well worth the extra drive to locations as it’s so accommodating. We really love how dog friendly they are too.

    One quite rude member of staff at breakfast both mornings who made you feel awful just for asking to sit by a window! Young staff also not knowing what the fish of the day was when asked …simple thing

    Lovely stay. The room was clean and so cosy. I loved the garden and the reading room was so lovely. All the meals were delicious! The breakfast room as so pretty and loved that it overlooked the garden. Drinks options were fabulous and reception staff really helped with advice on local activities

    This is quite an amazing inn, which has given a modern approach to the inn's origins. The owners have really thought about how to make the best of things with EV chargers; cafe and Deli for people dropping by to charge their cars. A change for changing horses. You can arrange fly fishing lessons and shooting. The staff were lovely. We had dinner in the restaurant - venison delicious. The hotel does not have televisions in the rooms, which was initially a surprise but not missed. Lovely reading room with books and boardgames. The bedroom we stayed in was lovely with a view over part of the garden.

    Central heating had been switched off, hotel provided a portable heater but that didn’t heat the towel rail. No television in room but again hotel provided a small one on request.

    Staff were very accommodating and looked after our party of eight with differing demands. Restaurant staff also excellent. It felt like you were welcomed rather than just another guest!

    Limited power points in bedroom near to bed, bring a USB cable extender.

    Much. Third time so must be good. DAB radio in room, no TV in room is a great idea.
