Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights here. Breakfasts lovely
[ my favourite is the scrambled egg with smoked salmon ]
Suppers also delicious. Good menu selection with Sea Bass & Rump Steak being my choices ( on 2 different occasions - - I should add.! ). Dog friendly - which is important if you want to have your pooches with you which we did. Allocated a downstairs room which is delightful with excellent shower & loo facilities. Would we want to stay here again. You bet !! PRB

On entering my room I was greeted by softly playing classical music. A lovely touch. This is a dog friendly hotel with masses of grounds to walk dogs, along with dog welcome packs left in the rooms. There was also a “special, to order, dog menu” devised by the chef!
The breakfast waiter, an Egyptian gentleman, was extremely helpful and efficient and the decor and design of the hotel was most appealing. The catering for dogs was very well thought out, making it a most pleasant and stress free...

This was a quick overnight stay on the drive back from Cornwall. The off-street parking and affordability were key in our purchase. Our room was clean and spacious, staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious.

Perfect for a overnight stop on our way down to Penzance, Roof was excellent as was the bed . A little noise from the busy main road but certainly not a problem. We would definitely stay here again and also dog friendly. Perfect!

Although the hotel was situated on a dual carriageway the rooms were quiet, clean, spacious and comfortable. We were particularly pleased to have air conditioning in the room. The staff were friendly and helpful even under such strange circumstances. The food was good with generous portions.

This was a home from home. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. After a 3.5 day drive from Corfu to walk through the doors of a friendly Great British hostelry was simply the best experience. Spacious accommodation in the Flat, plenty of room to unwind with my two dogs who were a little wound up after the long drive. A good nights sleep and the ability to run off steam in the field opposite, we all left relaxed and chilled. Pub grub was fabulous too! As I couldn’t stay for breakfast...

A great stop over on the way to Cornwall
A nice welcome on arrival and we found our booking upgraded to a larger room.
A good selection of pies for dinner and fresh pastries and coffee for breakfast.
Fresh coffee and cafetière in the room was a nice touch.
