    The property was great, staff were friendly and overall it was a lovely stay. The only slight negative is the breakfast was great on the first day and less so on the second. But overall it was a lovely stay.

    Location, room was a nice specification and a good size. The room was also well equipped.

    Dinner menu was good, but should offer sirloin not rump steak, also meringue should be home made not shop bought. I had also sent a message via booking.com that had not been received. This message was asking for a table to be booked for 7:30 and for also that it was our anniversary, so was there anything that could be done to make something special. having done the same at the Haverner's in Fowey they had a "happy anniversary" card in the room with two small bottles of prosecco.

    Cooked breakfast and other cooked options was very good, staff were very attentive. The continental breakfast was ok but a little limited. We stayed at the Haverner's in Fowey and there was more options with the continental breakfast, maybe other fruit to have and yoghurt pots.

    Perhaps the stairs, but it's an old pub

    Really old hotel that has been so tastefully remodeled using high end fixtures rarely seen in this type and price property. We booked very late on a bank holiday Friday so had a back room, but it was stunning.

The room was very comfortable also beautiful with a sea view giving you a great place to relax while watching and listening to the waves below, the restaurant along with the food was amazing this was a wonderful experience thanks to all

    We had a better quality and more generous breakfast in another St Austell pub (despite the menu being exactly the same).

    Warm welcome. Room was very comfortable, with lovely little touches to make the stay feel special. Great dinner in the pub downstairs, with a beautiful view over the bay. Perfect location if walking the South West Coast Path.

    Parking did cost a lot extra as there is no parking on site, and so a nearby public car park has to be used which we were aware of , and was made clear before ,but does add to the cost.

    Breakfast was very good , Disabled access room was lovely on the ground floor. Sea View was amazing, room was clean and comfortable and all staff were helpful.

    No parking so I had to park at the public car park a short distance away. It was not possible to pay for an overnight stay so I had to buy a 24 hour ticket. My room was above the area with outside seating, with music playing until the end of dinner service. I did mention this, when it was turned off it was very peaceful. I upgraded to a king size bed, the room was a bit cosy but fine for me as I was travelling alone.

    A lovely welcoming Inn in a beautiful location. Staff were very friendly and moved me from the busy bar to the restaurant for dinner which I had booked in advance. The bed was very comfortable and top notch Elemis toiletries. Nespresso machine with plenty of pods provided.
