Room was exactly what we needed. Spacious and clean although could do with a new carpet and some damp removal in the bathroom. Great location - very close to the Eden Project. Friendly staff at the bar.

The Bugle Inn is the oldest building in the area. We had our evening meal in the bar, the food was lovely, good portions size, nicely presented. We had a good night's sleep, the beds were comfy, the shower was hot. We did find a cobweb. Breakfast was a full cornish and was lovely.

Good as a pub. Noisy in bedroom from music in bar below until closing time. Good breakfast, friendly staff. Outside area (used predominantly for smoking) disgusting, unswept, uncleaned for the 4 days there. No food on a monday evening

Great customer service but rooms in need of a revi

Mixed views, the team in the evening were really welcoming and tried really hard, really lovely to deal with. Locals really friendly. The breakfasts were outstanding as was the evening meal for “pub grub” the accommodation wasn’t good, the room dirty, sliding toilet door didn’t work, you had to have it off runners to close. Mixed messages as were told by evening staff could watch England game at pub, then when asked in morning were told pub would be closed. People helpful in an alternative but disappointing we weren’t given correct information. So a tricky one, for £140 a night and breakfast it was ok, but the rooms need a real deep clean and the shower/bathroom a refurb tbh. But people really helpful and lovely and I appreciate how hard it must be to run a pub at the moment.

Great Location to explore Cornwall

A very comfortable stay at this pub with everything on hand. Convenient location set in a village near the A30 which makes it an ideal location for exploring Cornwall’s wonderful coastline. Great food and very welcoming staff

Our stay at the Bugle hotel

The Bugle hotel was a very nice place to stay as a base to discover lovely Cornwall . The room was basic and a little dated but it was ok. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was a real treat.

The staff we friendly, dinner was great and breakfast service was great. The room was a little noisy until 11PM but then went quiet once the pub closed. Car parking has limited spaces. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely go back.

We stayed with you whilst visiting our daughter as she has recently moved to Bugle. The pub is on a busy main road, but the room was well screened from the traffic noise. Nicely appointed and clean room room if a little small with squeaky beds! It didn't detract from our one night stay. The food was excellent - typical pub fare, using good ingredients. Helpful and pleasant staff enhanced the stay. Thanks to you all.

Excellent, fuss free check in, great room, great food and drink. Unfortunately there were a couple of guests who appeared to like shouting to each other on the landing and slamming the doors until about 2.00am. Despite being told it was an inclusive breakfast, the pub was locked up tighter than a drum with no sign of anyone until we left at 9.30am.

Cornwall stay

We stayed here for 3 nights as a base to explore some of Cornwall. We had a good size room with a big bathroom although the shower could be better. Bed was comfortable ,plenty of tea and coffee in room. Breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked to order. We ate in the pub on two nights and again the food was excellent with big portions and reasonably priced. A very special mention to all of the staff who made us feel very welcome and were all extremely pleasant. The only thing that was not ideal was the size of the tv in the bedroom. If we return to this part of Cornwall we would have no hesitation in staying here again.
