Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
'The Inkin brothers know how to run hotels,' concludes a reader of this welcoming pub with rooms in an enchanting Cornish fishing village. 'There is nothing that needs improving.' A sister property to The Gurnard's Head, Zennor and The Felin Fach Griffin, Wales, it has their signature relaxed, child-friendly, dog-friendly ambience and understated chic. 'The rooms have fantastic sea views (no TV – great) and the most comfortable beds.' Some bedrooms have a balcony; all have ground coffee, books, Bramley toiletries, a Roberts radio. Fresh milk is left outside the door each morning. Eat at an oak table by the fire, on the sun deck overlooking the sub-tropical garden, or on the sea-facing terrace. Food and wine receive consistently high praise. Our reader enjoyed a 'generous lemon sole meunière amply and suitably complemented by its accompaniments'. There's more seafood in the new Crab Shack in the garden, where you can enjoy crab sandwiches or mussels, perfect fuel if you're walking the South West Coast Path. 'Staff welcoming, pleasant and helpful throughout.' Breakfast, 'served with a smile', brings muesli, soda bread, apple juice, smoked salmon, the full Cornish. (ME, and others)
Winter Escape Special Offer
Winter Escape Special Offer: The Winter Escape was, by design, aimed at those making a last-minute decision to take a break from the occasional grimness of Winter. That seems to resonate in recent times. Just one night (or more) that can feel like a real break. This package is from £225 a couple and includes up to three courses at supper from anywhere on the evening menu, your room and breakfast. Available once the clocks go back (27th October 2024 – 27th March 2025), Sunday to Thursday and only valid outside of holidays and half terms. Subject to availability. Please mention the Good Hotel Guide when booking.
