This is a former old (1642) coaching inn, which has been completely refurbished and extended to turn it into a 'lodge' (now available adjacent as a separate business). Once the first actual roadside pub on the way into Cornwall on the A30 once Bodmin and Launceston were bypassed, it has now itself been bypassed by the later dual carriageway version. The attractive bar offers a warm welcome, although the main emphasis here is on food which is available every day in the restaurant or conservatory, and the accommodation - 42 rooms are available in the adjacent lodge, where the restaurant is also situated. The changing beer is from the St Austell-approved 'guest' list. Excellent disabled facilities.
