Break away /Christmas present

Break away. Lovely inn on the bank of the exe. Short walk into the town or the quay. Rooms are stylish and comfortable. The bed was great and one of the best we have slept in. Lovely little touches coffee machine with fresh milk. Nice toiletries and lovely towels. We stayed in the attic room, downside the wet room where the whole room get wet. Breakfast has a nice choose, but cooked food takes along time to come from the kitchen, but luckily we where not in a rush. Would recommend to others

Wonderful experience!

Truly excellent! The staff, accommodations, dining and setting were fantastic. All staff were warm, hospitable and professional, asking after every need. The room was very well done, extremely clean and well thought out. Such beautiful views of the river! I particularly enjoyed the dining experience – the chicken tikka masala was absolutely fantastic and the breakfast was just beautiful – with every single thing that I like. What a great experience!

Great Experience!

It was like stepping back into time checking in at the hostess stand in the restaurant and then being handed the keys to our room and outside door. Our room was in the attic, which was actually the bottom floor. (In the U.S. we call the top floor the attic.) The shower had AMAZING pressure with a fully enclosed glass door. We had a king bed, couch bed, two chairs and table, and then an outside patio area that overlooked the water. Julie, the housekeeper, made us feel welcome and took great care of our room. My favorite part is that there were real mugs for the tea and espresso service in the room. This is part of the St. Austell group of Inns and pubs which are nicely appointed.

Wonderful

Lovely location. 10 mins walk to city centre. Great beers. Wonderful staff - the meet and greet was clear, friendly, everything you’d want for a visit. Our room was spacious with a lovely river view. Super comfy bed and excellent room facilities. We particularly appreciated having fresh milk in the fridge for tea/coffee. Would recommend and will happily stay again.
