Behind the stone street front of this Victorian local – last stop before Cornwall on the old coaching route – lies a lauded gastropub with rooms. The latter are pleasing, individually styled, each with a king or super-king bed, an espresso machine, rainfall shower, herbal toiletries. Junior suite Mallard has a roll-top copper bath, its own entrance from the courtyard. You can opt for pub classics in the bar, restaurant or enclosed garden, though your burger will come with pulled pork, seeded clotted cream brioche, cheese, gherkin and chilli chutney. Meanwhile, Seb Finch’s creative, locally sourced menus run to dishes such as roasted monkfish tail, green peppercorn bisque, dill béarnaise; for vegans, roasted cauliflower, golden raisins, dukka and spiced couscous.
