"Lovely country inn - The owners and staff very nice and accomodating. Room was clean just a little dated, and the general areas could do with a refresh. Bed was really comfortable which enabled a great sleep. Breakfast was excellent- freshly cooked, so much choice and more if required-appreciated a second pot of tea to take outside and sit on the outdoor sofa. Evening meals were lovely - just make sure you let them know as they may close the dining room early. The bowling was great fun when the rain arrived!! A 2 minute walk down a reasonable hill to the bus stop at Alexander Court if going to airport/Newquay town and another minute to the beach. A great little getaway - I would definitely return."
