Excellent
Pros:

We love Polruan and the room was better than expected. Clean, warm, cosy.

Cons:

The pub was closed! I hadn't spotted that when booking (if it was noted) so maybe my fault. But it meant we weren't sure about food options, given it was March and a lot of other places were closed. Luckily, the other pub was open and served us very nice chips (with our Guinness).

There was no stay!!!!
Pros:

This pub was shut and we were not notified.
It seems to have ceased trading.
Surely no bookings should be taken.
It was a great inconvenience!!

Perfectly positioned with a warm welcome n authentic surroundings
Pros:

The waterfront position is stunning.
The rooms couldn’t be closer to the harbour

Cons:

It is quite a long walk from the pub to the bedrooms - which might be a challenge to the elderly or infirm.

Had a lovely stay, great room with fab views of the quay. Welcomed the G&T on arrival!
Pros:

Beautiful location, however be prepared for narrow, winding roads approaching, and a hilly walk to and fro the car par.

Most relaxing few days ever.
Pros:

It is situated in a lovely location on the harbour. It is just so quaint. We loved getting the ferry across the water to the small town the other side.
I was so relaxed I slept better than I have in a long time.
