Great harbour views

Room was clean and we had a great view of the harbour. Great shower which we feel is important. We had the full Cornish breakfast it was quite modest in size and quality.

Excellent stay from start to finish

Excellent from start to finish, genuine friendly staff who were happy to help and share their knowledge of the area. The breakfast which was included offered a great choice which was freshly cooked. The Tavern also offered a good variety of evening meals, we found ours to be of good quality and great value for money. Excellent location right opposite the quay, nice to sit and watch the world go by and also do a bit of dolphin spotting using the binoculars that are provided in the bedroom. The whole place smelt fresh and clean, we have no hesitation in recommending this place

Our room was clean, spacious, and had a fine view of the sea. The hosts were affable and eager to help, and the food was excellent. There is a large outdoor swimming pool nearby with a heated section that is well worth investigating.

The history of the building, the modernised bedroom and bathroom, the atmosphere in the pub and dining areas all made this a memorable and comfortable visit. Very conveniently positioned for train station and Scillonian. Quite a bit of traffic on road below, but it didn’t disturb us very much.
