From the outside the property looked a bit tired but on entering we loved the friendly warm welcome. The ambiance in the bar and dining areas was so lovely and the choice of food really great - it was truly appetising! Wonderful stay - we’ll certain stay again if we’re in the area.

Very nice family run place, very pleasantly surprised.
Great attention to detail, comfortable bed, spotlessly clean, and well equipped room.
Nice spacious restaurant, well laid out and set up. Also importantly for us, dog friendly.
Excellent Value, would definitely stay again.

What friendly staff!!! Everyone was so helpful and chatty. Lovely menu with daily specials, chef's specials and normal pub grub. Nice atmosphere too as it is down a country lane, but locals were eating and drinking there. Will stay there again the next time we are in the areaQ

1 night stay
Just a 1 night stay on the way to Cornwall. Great location as the village has lots of little pubs and restaurants too. Staff at the malt were helpful and the rooms are basic but good value for money with breakfast included.

Easy access from the car park to our room.
Room clean and met our needs. However, we would have preferred to have booked a room with a normal shower, rather than.

Ideal all round!
A lovely stop over to visit friends on our way to Devon. The food is amazing. Everyone found something they really enjoyed and with complex food preferences that is really good going. The rooms are ideal for dog owners and our little Bobby made plenty of friends. Breakfast was also brilliant and kept us going all day.
