I visit the Cornish Arms every time I go to north Cornwall (up to three times a year) and it's such a great place. It has a nice atmosphere, the locals are very fun and welcoming and the food is good too! The pub menu consists of fresh local produce (which is always nice to see) and there's a good... More

We booked a table and were really looking forward to authentic cornish pub food! I had an overpriced crab salad as a starter, followed by a really dissapointing belly pork! Should have gone Thai!! Waitress was apologetic and knocked a bit of the bill which wasn't necessary. I thought the placed looked a bit shabby, possibly going for an authentic... More

The whole building needs painting and updating.the heating system needs to be repaired.everywhere needs a thorough clean.the food was okay although a lot was not available on the menu .Very expensive and hotel does not deserve the star rating it has. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Can't comment on the accommodation, but both Thai meals we ordered (Thai green curry and pad Thai) were delicious. Very friendly owner made us feel welcome and it was warm and cozy in the main bar. We will definitely be back when we visit Cornwall again. (Did notice it's very dog friendly).

We visited this pub for dinner in February having been recommended it by someone who stayed here over 10 years ago; I am afraid the establishment certainly did not live up to its historic reputation. We were put off by the menu prices displayed at the door but still chose to dine. It was a disappointment. The beer, though, was... More

We walked up the lanes from Port Isaac to Pendoggett on a cold, bright and very breezy Sunday morning in February. We'd dropped in for a quick pint the afternoon before so we'd booked a table (to be recommended this place is very popular). The place was lively and comfortable with families and groups and we settled in to well... More

Stayed for two nights in early Feb 2013. Found the owners and staff extreamly welcomeing and although we didnt need anything other than what was already provided I got the impression that the owners would have gone out of their way to provide any reasonable request. Breakfast and evening meals were first class with a very varied menu for such... More
