The kettle appeared to blow a fuse just by switching on.
This was rectified by "throwing a switch in another room", but I would suggest that the cause should be fully investigated by a qualified electrician!
More than adequate parking at this time of year.
We had a lovely walk to the village and mill.then had dinnner in the restaurant which was reasonably priced ans delicious. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

Night staff great breakfast staff and food not very good only went once out off 3 mornings night food good & staff great
Unfortunately the hole place needs a refurbishment
Great location
The parking area always seemed safe.
Tea bags, milk, and towels were generously supplied in the room.
And I enjoyed the seating areas out by the river.

I was staying for 1 night as a stop-over on way to Falmouth. The accommodation didn't look great from outside but the rooms were clean with decent space and patio doors onto a small veranda and a shared green space with access to the pub gardens.
The riverside pub was good - nice to sit out and enjoy the evening sun. Food was disappointing - £16 for an underwhelming burger.
I would recommend - especially at this price point and would definitely stay again.
Lovely stay, great staff, easy parking with good beer and awesome food. GF alternatives available.

Fisherman's Cot is in a stunning setting and could be beautiful. Unfortunately it is in desperate need of an upgrade. Rotting woodwork, flaking and rusting ironwork, power lines hanging across the site, unswept areas and litter spoil an idylic setting. The staff are mainly very helpful and pleasant, but obviously under pressure too. Some staff need training in customer service and attention.
We picked this hotel as a stopover on our journey. We chose it as the restaurant looked good.
We got the last room available, it was small but very comfortable.
Dinner that evening was excellent as was the breakfast next morning couldn’t fault a thing.

Really good location and dinner and breakfast. Staff very friendly and doing a great job but Marston's brewery seem to be cutting costs by under staffing more staff needed . Nice rooms with great views but they do need tlc to bring them up to modern standards
Good size room very clean does need some tlc though. The staff were very helpful and friendly the breakfast lots of choices and very good,same for lunch and evening meal
Overall good, but cleanliness requires improvement
Overall a great location, friendly and helpful staff, and our room was on the ground floor with its own patio area which was great.
The food was good and a good selection of drinks, but a little overpriced and service was very slow. Breakfast was excellent and service was improved for this.
The room wasnt the cleanest with lots of webs and spiders in the corners, and a few bits on the carpet. The tables in the pub and outside were also very cluttered with old glasses that hadnt been cleared away, coupled with dirty/sticky tables.
Shame really because its a great location with great potential!

Apart from the fact that it sits on a canal and has great views while having a pint, nothing else worked for us, the room had such small roof that it was very difficult to walk within the room. The breakfast is forgettable and service too to some extent was miserable, maybe because it was a long weekend and the staff looked exhausted. The price that we had to pay for the last minute booking was not worth it, the original price that they ask for over the weekdays is still worth itm
Great location, wonderful friendly staff, comfy beds, plenty of parking and great breakfasts. Only downside was the height of the bathroom ceiling, but we were in the loft space with a great view of the river.

The room was comfortable and clean although the area outside of the accommodation building was very tatty.
There seemed to be a shortage of staff which meant slow service at the bar and 15 minutes wait for someone to come and check us in.
