Fabulous place to stay. More of a guest house than a B&B. The rooms are very comfortable and excellent bathroom facilities. Michael and his team do a great job.

Great place to stay the night before our Seal Sanctuary Experience around the corner in Gweek. Lovely clean and bright bedroom. Delicious evening meal in the pub.

Lovely people working there but it needs a really good clean. Bed comfortable & food in the bar nice. Might have caught them on an off day as the lady wasn’t well.
