We had a friendly greeting despite arriving at a busy time in the pub. We had dinner in the pub, which was lovely in terms of both the food and the atmosphere. The bed was super comfortbale and the shower was great. The view was so lovely.
Extremely friendly staff. Comfortable bed and pillows. Excellent tasty breakfast. Ate dinner twice at restaurant, scrumptious. Great variety of food and drinks. Highly recommend hotel and restaurant!
Room was clean and we had a great view of the harbour. Great shower which we feel is important. We had the full Cornish breakfast it was quite modest in size and quality.
The team at the Tavern couldn't do more to help and be accommodating. Very friendly and well placed for the IOS ferry, this place comes hearlty recommended.
Another really good nights sleep before onward travel.
Evening meal was lovely with great service.

Our room was clean, spacious, and had a fine view of the sea. The hosts were affable and eager to help, and the food was excellent. There is a large outdoor swimming pool nearby with a heated section that is well worth investigating.
Warm and welcoming and friendly service l. The food and breakfast were really good. I loved the view from my room overlooking the harbor. Good bed, nice and freshly done bathroom with shower. Everything is spotless clean!!! The accommodation is close to everything. I really enjoyed my stay.
