The village of Polgooth, which has its roots in tin mine, is today a peaceful community on the outskirts of St. Austell that attracts tourists who come to take in the region's breath-taking scenery. The community is only three miles from the ocean, and the south-west coastal route also passes nearby. It is also close to several wonderful beaches. The Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the Tall Ships Harbour at Charlestown are just a 15-minute drive away from one other, among several other tourist sites in the vicinity. Only five miles separate the charming fishing village of Mevagissey from the picturesque Roseland Peninsula, which includes the towns of St. Mawes and St. Just-in-Roseland, and the passenger ferry that across the bay to Fowey. Visit one of the many nearby sites, take a walk down the coast and take in the beautiful views, or enjoy a day at the beach. Any time of year, this is a beautiful setting.

The beer & food is great & the staff are very friendly & helpful. This was the first time that I'd stayed there & I wasn't disappointed. The accommodation has everything that you'd need. The only downside was that I didn't realise that there was a short flight of steps. It was a good job that I had postponed my trip, as I would have struggled when I originally intended to be there - but that's not a criticism, just an observation.

Lovely and helpful staff at the pub especially when we had issues parking in designated spot due to the pub being exceptionally busy.

The mattress is soft and old. Awful smell coming out from the toilet pipes.
