Great place to stay the night before our Seal Sanctuary Experience around the corner in Gweek. Lovely clean and bright bedroom. Delicious evening meal in the pub. Also very tasty breakfast in the morning, very friendly lady served us and was very flexible about the time we needed to have our breakfast.

Fabulous place to stay. More of a guest house than a B&B. The rooms are very comfortable and excellent bathroom facilities. Michael and his team do a great job.

Very nice bed for 1 night, but the room wasn't absolutely clean especially the toilet. There was a used towel on the towel rack and clean towels on the bed when I arrived. I had to ask for milk and for staff to turn the heating on from downstairs. Pizza was good and staff were friendly.
