The on-site restaurant serves high-quality seafood sourced from local fisheries and farms. A complimentary breakfast is included with room rates, using produce from nearby farms. The bar offers a selection of Cornish ales and wines from local vineyards.

The kitchen delivers consistently well, with particular praise for the tender Sunday roasts and excellent gluten-free options, complemented by the amiable service. It's a place that makes you want to return, both for the hearty food and the pervasive warmth.”
