(H) This
comfortable thatched 16th-century free house comes with a smuggling
history and resident ghost. Up to 6 real ales at any one time may be
offered, although St Austell, Sharp's and Skinner's brews are always
among the selection; the house blend is called Smugglers' Ale. The pub
is a large and rambling, with original oak-beamed ceilings, paved
courtyards to front and rear and many cosy corners inside all adding to
the olde-world charm of the place. The approach down steep narrow lanes
is worth the effort for the beer and excellent meals - there is a
restaurant area - and a large family room, and the big open fireplace is
a focal point in winter. A regular Ale & Pie festival is held in
May, and there are also occasional jazz and folk evenings. Convenient
for adjacent camping and caravan sites, the pub is also accessible by a
good bus service if you are prepared to walk the hilly 600m or so from
the Cubert road. |
