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. Also very tasty breakfast in the morning, very friendly lady served us and was very flexible about the time we needed to have our breakfast.

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.
