Obviously of some interest to Du Maurier fans and well exploited by the pub owners. Handpulls today were Dartmoor's Jail Ale, Sharps Original, Bude Brewery's Black Rock and St Austell's Jamaica Inn Ale (re-badged Trelawny). Its historical connections mean it has to be worth a visit (even if the pub now seems to be a rather small part of the overall enterprise).

Stopped off here on way back from Newquay. It was relatively busy for a monday afternoon. It was a bit pricey but beer was good. Had a pint of jail ale which was really nice. Usual tribute on offer and Jamaica ale as other real ales.

Stayed for a night but didn't see any ghosts. The pub is a old fashioned but the beer was well kept. Menu unexciting. Please get rid of the wax dummies!

Historic, unspoilt and atmospheric. Daphne du Maurier would be proud.

Arguably one of the most famous old road houses in Britain - there are not many famous enough to be marked on AA road atlases...

This is one massive pub, mainly catering for restaurant custom, presumably during the main summer season. That said, it was still warm and welcoming when we visited in November, with a very nice open fire in the front bar.

There were three ales available, all of which were tried and kept to a satisfactory standard. The food wasn't the best I'd ever had (steak and ale pie), but certainly not the worst either, and definitely not so bad that I wouldn't go back. Portions were of a good size.

Unable to fault the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. I would also say this is a convenient place to stop off if you have children. As mentioned in previous reviews, it's only around 30 seconds off the main A30.
