Reasonable for the price

Staff were lovely, but I think we were a surprise and the pub had recently been taken over. Sadly no breakfast but the staff went out and bought us something to eat in our room

The owners had just taken over. Breakfast was not available although we got a continental left outside the rooms for 2 of the 4 nights. Some of the lights were not working and televisions were installed after we arrived.

Great place to stay the night before our Seal Sanctuary Experience around the corner in Gweek. Lovely clean and bright bedroom. Delicious evening meal in the pub. Also very tasty breakfast in the morning, very friendly lady served us and was very flexible about the time we needed to have our breakfast.

Ok

Lovely people working there but it needs a really good clean. Bed comfortable & food in the bar nice. Might have caught them on an off day as the lady wasn’t well.

Nice village pub in rural picturesque spot. Very good beer, nice atmosphere. Room clean and tidy. Lovely staff. Menu of pub classics very nice fish and chips. Breakfast very good. Quirky village shop opposite had great range of local, gf, deli. A very friendly pub .
david, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice bed for 1 night, but the room wasn't absolutely clean especially the toilet. There was a used towel on the towel rack and clean towels on the bed when I arrived. I had to ask for milk and for staff to turn the heating on from downstairs. Pizza was good and staff were friendly.
Jane, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Apart from the bed being comfortable and the room and bathroom being clean. The remainder of the pub is pretty shabby. Meals were very poor too.

A real pub feel

This is a real pub - simple but gets the job done . Nothing fancy and Qweek is a hole in the wall village. Not super convient but as close to the Lizard as you can get and other popular locations nearby. A classic rural driving experience getting there .Priced right . The room was simple but clean . Enjoy a pub experience
