What a delightful little pub! We recently stayed in Tresparrett after our wedding for a few days…read moreand were situated just over the road from The Horseshoe which we frequented most nights. In all honesty I was expecting a little bit of a 'wicker man' vibe but the pub is populated by friendly locals and staff who are more than happy to bring you into the fold. There's a decent selection of beers and ciders including some local Sharps beers and the ever deadly Cornish Rattler cider! All the food is prepared by Pat (the landlady) who supplements a fairly extensive menu with 5 or 6 specials that change pretty frequently - everything from freshly caught fish to roast pheasant is on offer. On a Wednesday the fish and chip van rolls into this lovely little hamlet and you can place your orders at the pub and enjoy a couple of pints before either taking your dinner home or eating it there! There wasn't any music on when we were there but there was plenty of signs up advertising entertainment to keep you occupied in this sleepy little place. A cracking pub in a cracking little place, we're already planning our next trip back!

The Port William Inn is a hidden gem in north Cornwall. It's situated in Trebarwith Strand, about…read more2-1/2 miles south of Tintagel. Finding it was a challenge, since my GPS did not seem to understand my instructions, and it's at the end of a series of very narrow "B" roads that mostly only accommodate one car a time. But once you're there, it's well worth the hassle of finding it. With only 8 rooms, each guest is recognized by name by the staff and treated like family. Nothing is a problem for Richard (the manager) and his friendly crew. For example, we had some car problems and realized we would be arriving around midnight on the day we were due to check in, and the staff usually leaves by 10:30pm. I phoned the hotel, and Sam, the night manager arranged to leave a back door open, with our room key easily findable. He also gave me detailed directions to find the hotel and where to park. The room was relatively spacious, compared to some of the shoeboxes we've stayed in before. It was clean, well-appointed, and featured a modern bathroom with a bath, shower, and plenty of hot water. The floor was newly-carpeted and had a slight camber to it, no doubt the result of decades of damp sea air distorting the floorboards. Although it made walking around the room a little disconcerting, it seemed to add to the rustic charm. The window opened onto a gorgeous vista overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with a rocky cove below where the waves crashed ceaselessly, soothing us to sleep each night. Breakfast was included in the room rate, consisting of fresh juice, fruit, cereal, pastries, and a full selection of traditional English cooked items. We were well-fed each morning. The lunch and dinner menus featured a wide variety of delicacies that were worthy of any 5-star restaurant. Very satisfying. Seating options for dining (or just relaxing) included comfy lounge chairs arrayed near fireplaces, chairs and tables in a glassed-in conservatory, or trestle-benches outdoors on a patio. In all cases, there's a view of the cove and crashing waves. A coastal path affords a way to get closer to the sea, down a slippery set of stone steps that require careful navigation. Once down below, the full majesty of the waves can be enjoyed close-up. Some caveats -- parking at the hotel requires some automotive gymnastics to negotiate a tight bend from the roadway into the parking area. The smaller the car you're driving, the better off you'll be! Also, there's no cellphone signal to be found, but luckily the hotel provides free wifi. If you're travelling with others, consider equipping everyone with a compact walkie-talkie if you plan to explore separately. For us, the best part of staying at The Port William Hotel was the cheerful helpfulness of the staff. Due to the car issues we were having, we had to delay our checkout past the usual 10:30am. However, Richard said "Don't worry about it" and allowed us to stay until 1:30pm with no extra charge. Very accommodating! Bottom line -- The Port William Inn represents great value for money and is a wonderful example of high-quality hospitality. We will definitely stay there again.

My partner and I dined at the Napoleon on our first night in Boscastle and found ourselves at a cosy table in the front room. I was a bit put off by the numerous cobwebs that hung in each corner and the fact that the elderly woman behind me had to ask the waiter five times for her order (she even went up to the bar twice in an act of desperation). The food, however, was well done; I enjoyed a very nice appetizer that consisted of crisps and dip, followed by a smartly cooked piece of fish. A word of caution, however: be sure to ask whether your fish has been filleted! We shared a rather bland piece of pie for dessert. The highlight of the Napoleon Inn, however, was the live music in the back room of the bar. We had the pleasure of listening to Tim Carter, a very talented local musician with a love of American country music. We had a wonderful time talking to Tim and listening to his songs - if you have the opportunity to see him play, I strongly recommend you do so.

There's not even much of the rock quarry visible that gave the place its name. So IF you're heading to Rock, why not stop at this rather nice restaurant which offers brilliant views of the bay. The menu is split into three time schedules, breakfast, lunch (12 to 6 p.m.) and dinner (after 6). The range is a bit higher key than the usual pub grub, and the chicken breast (topped with bacon and cheese) I opted for was rather nice indeed. The beer range is limited, especially on the hand-pumps - similar to the Rock Road Bar & Grill which inhabits the same building - and they may indeed be one item. Korev and some international lagers are available though. The view is indeed splendid and the staff were really nice when I visited. The outside seating can be covered, but it was not on this rather warm and sunny June day. Since there are very few alternatives here, I'd give The Rock Inn thumbs up. There is truly no real reason to go to Rock in the first place, but this one might be it.

The room was a little quirky, with mural and sailing ship wall papers, and a lamp shade that looked like Emu's undercarriage, but we liked it. As for the bed - I'm not sure whether it was the couple of drinks we had in the bar downstairs, or whether they'd sprinkled fairy dust (or narcotics) on the pillows, but we went to sleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows and slept soundly through to morning. Breakfast was good, and the guy serving was very helpful and attentive. The breakfast room was quaint and all the tables were set beautifully with butter and preserves, and sauces. We filled our boots with glee! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.
