Good tidy and well equipt room in a good location for those heading down to any location in Cornwall, saves some of the cost compared to the more popular areas. Some of the extra blankets on the bed could do with a more regular wash, so dropping a star for cleanliness, but the sheets, towels and surfaces were all spotless so overall a good room. Lively pub atmosphere and reasonable drink prices with decent music, had a nice evening in the pub. Unfortunately our main disappointment was no one provided breakfast even though we had paid for it, but management did sort us out a generous part refund after I gave them a call which made up for us having to go and buy it. Just wish we had been told beforehand.

Had small roast pork which was plenty for me with lovely crackling plus my friends parsnips. Being a coeliac I had my own gravy boat and it came with roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, peas, mash, apple sauce and cauliflower cheese which pleased me as was gluten free and you don't get that everywhere. Was born in Bugle, lived at 13 Fore Street for 23 years, christened and married in the chapel and the first time I've ever been in the pub so at nearly 80 I have at last achieved that and thoroughly recommend their Sunday roast.

We stayed here for 1 night when going to a gig at the Eden Project. It is a tradional pub with rooms. It was the ideal location with ample parking. Room was very comfy and quiet. Staff were very hospitable and the food (dinner and breakfast) was very good. Would stay here again!

Great place to stay if visiting Cornwall. Rooms are very clean and spacious alows dogs and kids to stay. Great breakfast and meals throughout the day. A few local shops nearby like Co-Op and Spar a few minutes walk from the Inn. A few local beaches nearby like Par and Charlestown.
