Rustico e caratteristico
Pros:

Un luogo molto caratteristico e rustico, a pochi minuti da Port Isaac e consigliato per una notte di passaggio. Abbiamo apprezzato molto il pub sotto e soprattutto la pizza che fanno: veramente veramente buona con forno a legna. Siamo stati fortunati a trovare la sera anche un gruppo che suonava nel pub.

Cons:

La pulizia non è sicuramente curata e la struttura meriterebbe un po' di manutenzione in più, però se si vuole entrare nel cuore della Cornovaglia è un perfetto punto di appoggio per una notte. Consiglio solo se non si è troppo schizzinosi!

En l’état actuel de cet établissement nous ne le recommanderions pas à un proche
Pros:

La situation
Le prix

Cons:

Le bruit du climatiseur situé juste sous les fenêtres de la chambre d’autant plus qu’il fonctionnait par intermittence
La poubelle de la chambre n’avais pas été vidée
Le pub n’était pas propre
Nous n’avions pas été informés que le pub ne servait pas de repas le dimanche soir

10/10 no notes
Pros:

It's a small little place on top of a pub. I didn't have any issues with noise from outside. The food is great, the staff are a pack of legends. The cooked breakfast was wholesome and delicious. It's a noble establishment with a great history

Cons:

It is an old building so I imagine it'd be noisy if it were full.

Pros:

The property had clearly had a lot of investment in the bedrooms, although the styling was rather eclectic. The bedroom was a good size and comfortable

Cons:

The good vibe in the bedroom was completely different from the pub below it, meaning there weren't really any common areas we found a comfortable space

When we arrived, there was no one to check us in, so we had to search for someone to help. Seemed very short stafffed

Breakfast was a choice of full English or full English (or selections therefrom)
