The duvet on the double bed wasn't quite big enough.

Breakfast excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Very good evening meal as well. Good to be able to eat on the premises.

The room wasn't exceptionally clean, had a snail in the bath and some hair, but other than that was fine

Breakfast was very nice

Stayed in November 2024

The Sunday roast was bland and tasteless. The thin turkey slices would have been more suited to a sandwich. Although the cooked breakfast was served at the table the toast making was DIY and the bread was left in the plastic wrappers, requiring guests to put their hands in each time - not the most hygienic arrangement. A similar arrangement for the milk and yogurts kept in a domestic fridge.

Perfect location for a quiet weekend. The welcome when we arrived was warm and welcoming. The standard of other staff varied. Plenty of car parking. Wifi worked well. Cooked English breakfast was of a good standard.

The rooms are a little dated but this is a 12c Inn so there is very little you can do that will be acceptable and not detract from the character of the place. Perhaps guests should be advised how popular the restaurant is, understandably, and be advised to book a table for the evening meal because this is a very popular place to dine out.

Loads of character as you would expect. The staff were very friendly and the meals were very good. All in all a very good place to stay.

There were no shelves or hooks in the bedroom, but on the whole it was very comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal - delicious white bait and mains of liver & bacon. The food and drinks arrived in good time and the staff were very friendly. The room and bed was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious and clean.

More if a be aware rather than a dislike This is an old pub so expect things not to be modern and perfect- Steep stairs to rooms were a little challenging for me as i have major knee issues and for getting suitcases up/down but not insurmountable… and added to the nature of the pub being “old” . To get to the Friar requires driving to/from narrow country lanes and sat nav certainly can send you down some very interesting routes. If you are wary of driving Cornwalls challenging narrow country roads- which are sometimes barely one lane - this is probably not for you especially coming from overseas - but the trade off is peaceful and quiet location.

Nestled in an idyllic location- and as picture postcard as advertised - this is a typical English pub - the food was excellent and plentiful and always served with a smile.. the staff we met were great and our room had all the basics needed , not 5star but more than adequate and despite the pub underneath was very quiet - we were never disturbed by the pub noise itself… so very happy to stay here again.
