This is a fine example of a traditional English pub with years of tradition behind it. This is a very old structure which was built in 1577 and looks and feels like an old English pub. It cannot get more authentic than this pub. The pub has low ceilings and wobbly walls that have seen better days but this adds to the appeal to this veteran of the pub culture. This pub is accessible to public transport that means that it getting there from any of the Cornwall holiday cottages is fairly easy. Frequenting the place while you are staying at any of the holiday cottages is definitely doable but it is an acquired taste in which locals have learned to love and is frequently patronized.
