Visited for the first time since its been rebuilt and it's very nice. Not as it was, of course, and not to be expected - something of the atmosphere has gone but something of the dirt & grime too. Much posher than before but kept in character with the previous building. Didn't try the food but the St Austell Tribute was excellent.

All been rebuilt and done up to a high standard. But it really is not my sort of place at all.
It is a modern building trying to be olde worldy and it just did'nt do it for me.
Far too contempary and formal so would only give it a 4/10

This wonderful old building burnt down on Christmas Eve 2008 bringing hundreds of years of history to an end. A terrible, terrible loss, particulary as the pub had recently changed ownership and there was a possibility it might actually revert to the very special place it once was.
We can only hope that it will be rebuilt, but somehow it will never be the same again.

Have stayed in the hotel before and it was great, unfortunately now under new ownership. The place is now looking very run down. No-one used the restaurant therefore no atmosphere in the place. Part of the dining area now used as a storeroom and another part has the dreaded snooker table.
Worse thing was the piles of smelly rubbish outside in plastic bags - not even in bins.

Reasonable selection of beers and food. Surly staff, but friendly enough customers - albeit, heavy smokers.

Lovely olde worlde hotel, recently refurbished. Great food and good beer.
One BIG downside is very, very slow service when they are busy. We waited an hour and a half for our food and when it came mine was cold. Staff very surly when we complained.
