Nos gusto absolutamente todo, el lugar, las comodidades del alojamiento y la atención y el personal que nos atendió en forma excelente. También excelente la comida en cuanto a calidad y variedad. El desayuno también merece un párrafo aparte ya que es de primera en cuanto a calidad y cantidad y la atención de Emma es la mejor!!!
Rob y su esposa nos hicieron sentir como en casa, gracias!!!

Great and welcoming location travelling between St David's and Penzance
Pros:

The atmosphere was great both the setting and the way it looked as well as the people. A good friendly pub which locals obviously like. Dinner was fine and service great. We didn't do breakfast as the heat wave and distance to Penzance meant we went off pretty early

Cons:

Only a little thing but the TV remote didn't really work well from the bed and took a while and some help to understand that

Fabulous pub and staff
Pros:

Everything about it!
Lovely old pub, great atmosphere, well stocked bar, delicious food,
really friendly and helpful staff, huge comfortable bed. Special thanks to Sophie and Emma who made us feel so welcome. Great, rural feeling location, but with Cardiff Castle only 6 miles away.

Cons:

Small shower cubicle made it quite awkward to shave my legs, but the good pressure and water temperature made up for it.
