Little more to add except I’m going to rate it higher, it really is an incredibly atmospheric stone pub, it does feel very Cornish. five ales on and my pint of Marble Pint was sublime. Every other customer was drinking cask too which is very refreshing to see. I feel like this is pretty close to a perfect village pub although the lack of natural light could bother some, especially in winter.

An excellent little old pub, as the previous reviewer commented not what you would expect in the area at all. Really atmospheric, with a dark stone-floored, stone-walled interior decorated with a collection of old artefacts and divided into several separate areas. Furnishings include some unusual padded benches, while the little bar at the back had a good range of ales: Black Lodge Shake Hands, Make Friends, Liverpool Cascade, Titanic Plum Porter, Brains Rev James and Theakstons Best. Definitely worth a visit.

Not at all what I was expecting, stone built, dak inn on split levels, low ceiling, you could be in a Cornish or Pembroke country inn. Good all round pub

Lovely old worldy pub. Very little natural light gets into here and sometimes it can seem claustraphobic. However it is a really good old pub. No tv or loud music to stop people having a good old conversation. Bare stone walls surround the interior and a rather cramped area is opposite the bar. A pleasant beer garden is to the rear which contains a fish pond. Sadly the pond is usually quite murky so its difficult to see the fish. 4 real ales usually on.
