After a very long day of driving, was unable to eat or drink at the hotel due to the restaurant being fully booked. Would’ve made do with a drink in the bar but there were no stools or sofas, it seems this place is not actually a pub, it’s a restaurant, so if you don’t have a table reserved to sit at you're turned away, not what we were expecting at all. Offered the option to eat in room but would have been uncomfortable and awkward to dine sitting on the bed. Cannot understand why a few tables weren’t reserved for hotel guests. We even had a giftcard to use for dinner but left unable to use it and not planning to return to this St Austell Brewery pub. Sorry, i mean restaurant. Overheard a family with small children also staying in the hotel unable to get a table which I imagine must’ve been difficult. On a positive, the room/linens/bathroom were all very clean. Receptionists friendly & helpful.
