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.

The Smugglers Den Inn is a 16th century thatched inn with family, beer garden, childrens play area and ample parking. The beer garden is where we like to crash and relax. While the kids play on the apparatus we chill with a ool drink in the sun and order from the menu full of lovely food and they always have plenty of specials on the board all made using the freshest local ingredients. It is situated in a little village called Trebellan, near Cubert, less than than 15 minutes from Newquay. You approach down a steep, high sided road which is typically Cornish and the pub is right before you and very welcoming. They have regular live entertainment and also have an annual Real Ale and Pie Festival which is is it's 9th year. It's definitely worth pulling off the beaten track and seeking it out for a refreshing treat.

Sunday lunches are clearly very popular, and on seeing the carvery in action it's easy to see why. The vegetarian choices were good, but most involved helping yourself to the available veggies on the carvery counter and I didn't fancy joining the queue for that, so I ordered fish and chips. Standard pub fare, but well done and a nice piece of fish. A good atmosphere in the main bar too, there isn't much else in the area and this place does well by its regular clientele.

So most people think it's only going to be open in the evenings as a pub, and that isn't the case at all. The current owners took over at the end of last summer (autumn 2011) and are gradually redeveloping the Inn as an open-all-day coffee shop / café / restaurant, with a fish-n-chip takeaway, and a lovely garden area (away from the main road) to relax in. The Inn now opens from 9am most days (closed all day Tuesday), serving hot food, coffees, cream teas, Sunday lunches and so on. It's not a swanky bistro, and doesn't pretend to be. There's no denying that the décor and furnishings inside the pub were outdated two decades ago, but it's worth looking past this superficial appearance. We were warmly welcomed and the service was excellent. We ordered two types of pie (steak and ale, and chicken and ham) for lunch, and both were delicious. Unlike many cafés where you get a puff-pastry topping over a bowl of casserole, these were slices of 'proper' pie with a hearty, chewy pie crust and tasty, flavoursome fillings made of plenty of lean meat no fatty gobbets of anything unpleasant! We were also awkward and asked for specific vegetables and to have a jacket potato instead of chips which was all no problem, and the jacket potato was well prepared and tasty (not half-baked / half-frozen and floury, as some can be). The menu isn't extensive but covers all the usual café options; garlic bread, paninis, baked potato, pies, pasty, all-day breakfasts, cream teas, chocolate fudge cake, ice creams, as well as cappuccino and latte-style coffees, or fish and chips. The food style is 'mainstream Brit' rather than 'continental chic' so we were offered 'gravy' to go with our pies, not 'jus', and there's nothing wrong with that! Lunch for two came to £26 for three courses and several coffees. Maybe not somewhere you'd go for a special celebration, but a perfect place to grab lunch if friends drop by or you don't fancy cooking. 7/10
