aleand hearty left this review about The Halsetown Inn
A rural, roadside inn, with an attractive ivy-clad exterior, about a mile out of St Ives. There are four rooms inside, one of which is a designated dining area. Another houses a pool table. Overall, the interior is quite plainly decorated, the simplicity of the place contributing to its subdued feel when we called late afternoon.
There were three hand pumps in the bar, but only ‘Doombar’ on offer. That fact combined with a rather tired pint suggested there might be a problem with turnover.
The landlord appeared rather shy, but he was friendly and welcoming. His dog Peggy was a great hit with my daughters.
Food seemed to be the lifeblood of the place, but nothing on the menu tempted us to eat there.
It’s hard to comment on the atmosphere when there were only six people in the place. Maybe it comes to life on an evening when the diners and locals appear? However on the basis of our visit there was nothing that made us want to return.
