The Blue Ball Inn, Triscombe

We stayed overnight here. The accommodation was very close to 5 star (bathroom soap let it down). The bar was first class. The real ales although good were not in the same league as the farmhouse "Mad Apple" cider. The staff were lovely and the local Cidermaster was also an entertaining customer.
The food was a tour de force. The seafood starter on a bed of samphire went straight into the top five starters ever table. The sirloin steak that followed was top notch, beautifully cooked and piping hot. A little more work needed on the chips to match the excellence of the steak.
We do quite a few overnighters every year and we cannot recall anywhere that comes close . The points I've raised are hints for improving what is very good, not criticisms.
Most places can learn a lot from here. We will be back.
