    No internet access, guest room lock/key needs attention, though immediate problem of getting out was dealt with rapidly and cheerfully.

    Excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Delicious traditional dinner.

    Wonderful hosts, excellent meal in the pub. We had to leave early before breakfast so the host got up early to cook us a bacon sandwich. Thank you and very much appreciated!

    Great location close to St.Ives but in peaceful and scenic location. Nice pub with good service and food.

    The shower had issues with setting up temperature and the drain under the shower was clogged. But quick conversation with stuff helped to solve it.

    The check-in process was really nice. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The fresh English breakfast was served with local ingredients in the morning. The location is very beautiful.

    Room quite dark. Bathroom a bit smelly due to being a wet room and floor stayed wet

    Excellent location, close to St Ives, Hayle, Marazion and penzance. Lovely setting with beautiful views and very quiet at night. Large room and large bed. Friendly landlady.

    There was no WiFi which seems very odd in this day and age . It was advertised as such but there was no phone signal either which makes WiFi critical.. The web site has a very good menu on it and we were looking forward to an ice dinner. The reality however was pie, burger or scampi which was very disappointing. We wanted the squid and beetroot and squash wellington.

    Nice Rural location and a comfortable bed. Staff were very welcoming

    The only downside was the bathroom. We're not lovers of wet rooms and this one could do with a deep clean.

    The staff were very welcoming and friendly and and nothing was too much trouble. The scenery from the back of the venue was beautiful. The pub food was good and reasonably priced. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable.

    My burger at tea wasn’t cooked properly but they fully refunded it and were very apologetic. There were some crumbs on the floor of the accommodation and the bathroom wasn’t super clean but it didn’t bother us for one night.

    We loved that the accommodation was in a separate building out back. They had a live duo on in the pub that night (Saturday) and it was fantastic. They had board games for us to play in the inn. Breakfast was delicious and the accommodation was spacious. Staff were super friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome.

    We stayed in the downstairs apartment but we could hear the family above walking around, the green fire exit lights were quite bright. Very tiny point but just needed spoons with the coffee and tea facilities. The disabled bathroom had a bit of mould on it. There is no Wi-Fi at the moment.

    Fantastic rural location with beautiful countryside views but not too far from St. Ives or Penzance. Very friendly, cosy pub. We had a hearty evening meal and a full English breakfast in the morning. A large bedroom with plenty of storage. Ideal for disabled travellers. Very good value for money.

    The accommodation was not clean in places, such as the shower, and there were repairs that could have been done, such as the curtain rail and missing lampshade.

    The staff were friendly. It was great to be able to get a meal on site. We were given a breakfast box as we were leaving early for the ferry to the Isles of Scilly, this was helpful. The location was lovely.

    There was nothing we would complain about.

    Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Perfect location for overnight stay before travelling on to the Isles of Scilly. Dog friendly, which was a priority for us. A Breakfast Box was provided as we had to leave very early. Easy parking. Evening meal available on site, no need to travel elsewhere. We would stay here again.

    Greated by the lovely land lady who was so nice and kind and helpful. Taken to our room, which took me back, I wasn't expecting it to be so big and so lovely. Breakfast was quick and perfect. Coffee and Orange with full english, cereal and toast for kids. 10 mins from beach £10 taxi ride. Would absolutely stay again no question!
