£179—Cornwall: 2-night weekend break at 400-year-old inn

Fantastic views, meals and service.

Ok pub , currently undergoing building work. Dog friendly good food and excellent breakfast. Staff friendly. Room was a bit small and facilities were ok. Had to use the ferry to get anywhere as nothing else on the bodinnick side. Wouldn’t return as not really what we like.

Was expensive for the dog per night and the upgrade room was not as good as we expected

We had a beautiful double aspect newly built bedroom looking over the river. The ambience in the pub was excellent with roaring wood burner and their own brewed beer and gin. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had anywhere and staff an absolute delight. Just one little thing, the dining room was a little bare- floor, tables and walls.., a bit utility. How about warming it up and making it a bit more dining room - carpets, art work, nice tables etc , and less ‘pubby’ - just a thought. ’

Luckily we had paid for a room with a view - so that was nice

The Ferry Inn - in a word it was 'underwhelming' Even before we arrived I had tried to book dinner and the hot tub - left a msg but the answer machine did say they are not open all week - so I sent an email as directed on the answer machine, but this was ignored!! No towels and broken door knob on wardrobe in our room to start with - this was rectified but we shouldn't have had to raise these issues and on the way to trying to find someone I nearly slipped on a step from the grit from the building work that we were not told about The hot tub was not ready at 3pm, it hadn't even been lit at 3pm, we were told it would be ready in a few hours, then 2/3 hours later we were told that it wouldn't be ready till 7.30pm/8pm when I queried this and showed the laminated information on hot tub times (3pm-8pm) I was told the information was 2 yrs out of date???!! - we eventually got to use the hot tub at 7.30pm but it was cold and as it was dark there was no view of course (which was the main reason for booking this break) - we also had to ask for robes as these were not in our room either, their excuse being there is usually a tuck shop next to the hot tub where we would pick up our robes, but they hadn't got this ready either!! So we had missed relaxing in a hot tub in the lovely weather (it rained the next day) so we sat in the dark in a cold hot tub (which was only 34 degrees) and there was way too much chlorine in it The bathroom had no heating and no heated towel rail so it was freezing and the next day our towels were wet from the night before Breakfast was awful, no printed menus, cheap bread, my bacon sandwich looked very sad the croissants were awfully dry. From the minute we got there we felt like an inconvenience, it seems Paul was only interested in making money not giving us the relaxing experience we were hoping for, we expected decent food that looked and tasted good and a warm hot tub

Excellent few days. Comfortable room.Good wholesome meals.

Friendly helpful staff in a warm and welcoming venue. Old school values helping with luggage on arrival and nice touches in bedroom with quality soap and shampoo and even a cordial to accompany bottled water.

Wonderful stay with lovely people.

Lovely friendly pub

Was being refurbished so was a bit disruptive and very cold !

The bar is quite rustic, , the rooms are nice enough, the inn is very old, beautiful view from our room, bedding, towels etc, very good, the breakfast was delicious, the location was beautiful but remote, the staff were friendly, ferry charge is £10 return. We loved it but I'm not sure it would be for everyone

Very friendly place to stay and we felt like part of the local scene and not just a visitor.

The owner is definitely making this a good destination to stay and his staff were all very hospitable and informative. Lovely walk on the doorstep "The Hall Walk"" which takes in 2 ferry crossings, one to Fowey and the return to Bodinnick

Was an amazing weekend , great location, staff were welcoming & the room was wonderful
