Superb
All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and chatty. The food, both evening meal and breakfast, was delicious. The room was comfortable and cosy. This is such a wonderful place to stay. We will be back :-)

Really quite enjoyed this little pub stay. Tuesday night is bell ringing practice at the neighboring church until nine so parking is a premium if arriving late. Busy friendly place with an awesome breakfast.

Always great
Another comfy stay with great food They are constantly doing things to the place - i'm sure such an old building needs constant work ! The sausage and mash beat me - really good room at the back was really quiet great value and far more pleasant than staying in a "Premier lodge" Its out of the way, but well worth finding see you all soon

Almost perfect.
On the whole everything was as you would expect from a rural pub type accommodation. Good restaurant food, lovely room, decorated in keeping with its age. I liked it. Breakfast wasn't the best, the only smallish downside in a nice relaxing, quiet weekend. Just what was needed.

Memorable stay as always what you would expect from a pub dating from the 12th century. wonderful friendly service, food is good pub food, friendly atmosphere and location in Cornish countryside, our favorite place to stay when visiting friends in Saltash and for touring this area of Cornwall.

Lovely C12th Inn
Great Inn with lots of old features and modernised rooms. It’s a bit like a tardis inside with lots of seating in the back. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is good. Don’t trust your satnav if it tries to send you down a 7ft wide lane with a recommended max 10mph sign. It’s point to point shorter, but there is a much faster normal road to use.

A cracking place to eat.
4 night business stay. The room was clean and spacious with a good sized flat screen TV. The jewel in the crown is the restaurant which was busy every night. If you want fine dining go elsewhere but if it is excellent home cooked food, this is the place but make sure that you book to avoid disappointment.

Amazing.
I fully enjoyed my stay. Staff where kind and helpful, dinner was served quick and tasted amazing the room was massive with country views and a big bathroom. We stayed in August bank holiday and expected it to be busy but it was lovely and quiet, a real hidden gem. The little church yard behind it was beautiful. Would recommend to anyone that wants a peaceful time away with a good atmosphere.

What a very unique Hotel this is and so full of character with over 800 years old, the furnishings inside are stunning, just a little difficult to get there with the narrow road, but once you work that out it is easy

Welcoming and comfortable
Very welcoming and comfortable stay. The Weary Friar is a bit off the beaten track reached by some narrow lanes which adds to the fun. Cosy clean and simply decorated room with tea and coffee making facilities. Excellent dinner in bar with wide range of menu choices. Good breakfast with cereal, toast, tea and (instant) coffee self served and breakfast cooked to order. Highly recommended.

the hotel was great, the rooms where fine, the food was fantastic and the location is quite but everywhere we wished to see was within an hours drive at the most. The beer was good as well
