I popped in here on my way through St Ives on business for late lunch for one. I didn't expect much, and was I surprised. great beers, friendly staff and locals and possibly the best fish I've eaten to date in England. I love fish, but rarely does it live up to my expectations. I had sardines to start, and... More

What a treat! To be honest I wasn't expecting to much when we first arrived. The place is slightly dated. However those doubts were thrawted with the warm welcome and good food. We did have a mix up with the order and my brother got the wrong meal, but again the wine recommendation and sincere care from the landlord made... More

What can I say? Such a cute B & B. Very cosy, comfortable and well maintained rooms. Food was very good and as a pub, you can just nip down stairs for a sneaky drink or 2! Owners are very welcoming and friendly. Make you feel very at home. Just a few minutes drive, or a nice leisurely walk into... More

Extremely welcoming staff. Good advice on local things to do & where to go. Really good food. Great atmosphere as it's a 'local'. Looking forward to visiting in warmer weather as garden looks attractive. Rooms comfortable.

Lovely staff and a really welcoming atmosphere. But the food is not good. Those of us who live locally were all hoping that when The Badger was taken over by the people who run the wonderful Coldstreamer in Gulval, we might be in for a treat. Sadly, the menu has stayed the same - too tired, too big and too... More

If you would like to stay in a place with a very warm welcome then look no further. They make you feel like one of the regulars, and the extensive menu puts many hotels to shame. The various cornish ales are excellent. I found that a pint of Tribute hits the spot after a hard days work. Its just a... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights and received a warm welcome on arrival. The ensuite room was comfortable, although the lighting could have been a bit better. The quality of the breakfast was very good and there was plenty of it. However, the service was bit slow on the first day, though no problem on the second day.... More
