Not a scone connoisseur, but so far best scones I've had in the Devon/Cornwall area. They're…read morenothing remarkable to look at, nor very puffed up, but they're a balanced combination of cookie (crisp and crumbly) on the outside while fluffy and crumbly on the inside with a slight sweetness. Their pasties, their specialty, I'm not really a fan of. They're enormously overstuffed, but the crust is tasteless and the filling is mostly potato with less than 20% actual meat. However, filling was balanced in flavor. Guess I just prefer the pastries, because I also preferred their Apple Turnover to the pasties.

Well after two terrible Cornish pasty experiences - one just a few paces from this place (King…read moreArthur's Arms) was singularly dreadful and tasteless - we decided one third and last try. Glad we did!! I had the beef pasty, my wife the lamb and mint. They were big, tasty, juicy and worth our time and money. According to our waitress Pengenna are the only vendor in Tintagel who make their own pasties - according to her the other places just buy them frozen which perhaps explains why they are soooo dreadful. If you don't believe me try one next time you are at Kings Cross station in London - from a little stall you can buy a pasty much much better than our first two in Cornwall Anyway - our pasties were very good, probably 50% bigger than down the road and not much more than 1/2 the price!!!! No comparison!

Woo-hoo! Talk about dreams being fulfilled and standing in the same spot that Luisa and Martin…read more(from Doc Martin) have been in! I didnt stay at the hotel, and unfortunately, we arrived a bit too early to eat dinner, so cant really provide any reviews relating to either of those things. What I can however talk about is the thrill and sheer exuberance I felt, walking around in the parking lot of the Old School Hotel, seeing the Doc's house, the lovely Harbor bay below, Bert and Al Large's restaurant - it was like visiting an old familiar house! The staff here were super friendly, even when I do think the must get super tired of all the gawking tourists, and cant wait to come back here another time and hopefully this time, experience dinner too!

In any case, I came here without a reservation, and I was promptly assigned to the Chemistry room. The room was small (but I did ask for the cheapest they had), but I remember how comfortable it was. I was a big fan of all the pillows on the bed, into which I sank with pleasure. It had an ensuite bathroom, and it was very warm and cozy. I especially liked the view across the harbor. They had a very nice little bar near the reception, and the dinner I had there (fish) was elegant and excellent. A nice couple from Cornwall that I had drank with earlier even invited me to join them. I still remember the conversation. I'd highly recommend staying here while in Port Iaasic.

Overnight I've become a huge fan of this chain of budget hotels which I only discovered by accident…read morewhen surfing the internet. Vastly superior to Travelodges though sometimes almost as cheap, or even cheaper when they offer special deals (three nights for the price of two, etc). The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage and a superior standard of furniture and fittings. Our room had a telephone, large flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities with lots of teabags, hot chocolate and fresh biscuits each day. In addition to the large bed was a plush two-seater settee. The en-suite had a large power shower and, again, the tiling and fittings were of a high standard for a budget hotel. There's a modern lift to rooms (very good disabled access), beautiful carpets and curtains, and a foyer with local information and a sweets and chocolate machine. Breakfast came free with the room rate and was served across a short walkway in the Jack Rabbit pub. It consisted of a continental-style buffet with an excellent choice of cereals, fruit juices, fresh fruit, yoghurt, breads, toast, preserves and croissants. A machine provided good quality teas or coffees. You can eat as much as you wish and there are helpful staff on hand to assist if need be. A free newspaper (Daily Mail) was also available each day. All in all, a superb value package at only £89 for 3 nights (the special offer this month)! Certainly a chain to watch - there are 200 branches around the country and more planned.

Lovely location overlooking the Camel estuary and the sea. Well maintained gardens. Two good restaurants, the main one in the hotel, and a poolside cafe. Service was good. Rock is nearby, and there is the foot ferry over to Padstow. Hotel is close to the coast path, for walks to the surf beach at Polzeath, or to the huge sands of Daymer bay in the other direction. Recommended.
