Very Peaceful

This place was far off the beaten track, but in a beautiful village. Lots of character. I got there late and left early so, didn't use the restaurant unfortunately

Reliable, good value place for a short stay.

Stayed for one night midweek to break our journey to Cornwall. The New Inn offers everything you need for such a stay, with a nice pub dinner, comfortable adjoining rooms, free parking and a cooked breakfast. My main feedback is that a little more could have been offered at breakfast time like some fruit and yoghurts, and a muffin or similar. And the bed was not as comfy as I was expecting. Otherwise, 9/19. Thank you.

Jun 15, 2023

Did not stay. We left after seeing the room. Would like refund. Kitchen unhygienic, seen when door open and was shocked. Cracked surfaces unsealed edges, dirty equipment. Does not comply to hygiene standards.Room had dirty worn floor mat and dirty cushion on desk chair. Ensuite had old dirty lino on floor with grime around the edges and the glass access passageway beside the out of order disabled toilet smelt of urine. We could not stay in such a dirty, unfit for purpose place. Staff were lovely but the older man in kitchen had no gloves and dirty uncovered hair, (nor did his lady assistent) when preparing food nor did either wear any aprons etc. Very lax altogether. We request a full refund. It is a beautiful property and friendly staff but they seem to have lost heart in what they do and it needs a complete clean and overhaul before it should be allowed to continue to let rooms and to serve food.

Good value for money

It was a good stay in the New Inn. It's in a very quiet location, the owner was very helpful and friendly. The beds are comfortable, and the room is spacious for family stay. Only issue is the bathroom gets really wet when showering.
