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.

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.

Very friendly welcome. Even had a Vegan choice on the evening menu which we enjoyed. A comfy cottage best describes it. We stayed 3 nights bnb and would definitely go back again

Lovely people working there but it needs a really good clean.
Bed comfortable & food in the bar nice.
Might have caught them on an off day as the lady wasn’t well.
