The Engine Inn

This was a four night stay as part of a 16 night holiday. The Engine Inn is remote and in wonderful scenery. Criplesease is not much more than the Inn itself! The rooms are in a converted barn one on the ground and one on the first floor and are very generously sized. We had the first floor with excellent shower room and lots of space. The Inn provides first class food and is very popular with locals who must come a long way to get there! We have never before had the answer we got when asking for the breakfast menu. "There is no menu, tell us what you want and we will make it!" First class all round.

Great pub, friendly staff, well stocked bar, food very good, room lovely and view amazing

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Location, "staff" (more like on-location buddies!), room, food and final touches were all simply perfect. We arrived late after an early start and looooong drive. We found the Engine Inn and were welcomed by Adrian who showed us out back to our accommodation. I was gobsmacked and admittedly relieved! I thought the rooms would be above the pub but it's actually a separate building out back. The bed was huge and the room authentic. I wasn't looking for high class splendour - I wanted character and history and a real feel of Cornwall which is exactly what this accommodation gave in abundance. We had dinner in the pub and it was our best meal in Cornwall! The gammon was cooked to perfection - the pasty a marvellous introduction to that Cornish delicacy. Breakfast was whatever we wanted at a time that we wanted it. The Cook was fantastic company first thing in the morning chit chatting in between serving. We didn't get the weather that we wanted in Cornwall at all which was a massive disappointment for me but that didn't and couldn't detract from the good feelings we left with from the Engine Inn. On check out I never got to thank Adrian and Karen for our stay so I hope this review will suffice. Thank you so much! We loved everything about the Engine Inn❤️

Very warm welcome on arrival . Shown to a fantastic little room with a massive bed and home made short bread ! We went to the pub for dinner in the evening and had an engine pie it was great value for money . Friendly atmosphere and great live band on too We where asked when we wanted breakfast in the morning the night before . The breakfast is self was fantastic !!! All freshly cooked and not greasy . Not sure what the little round meaty things where but still ate them as they where tasty All in all a great stay

Very enjoyable place to stay no complaints at all. We were lucky enough to have the morris dancers come in for a drink, and they sang and played instruments, it was great.

The converted barn room was fantastic with great views overlooking the fields and cattle. And roam and Karen were fantastic hosts

Karen and Adrian have recently took over the pub and accommodation. We couldn't of asked for a more friendly welcome from not only Karen but also from all the staff, from the barman to cleaner to the chef. The setting of the pub is in beautiful countryside with amazing views, the accommodation is a separate building that is beautifully decorated and ultra clean, the bed huge and very comfortable. We were lucky to be staying on a night when there is live music, and we were made to feel as one of the locals. On the menu a good choice of food and cooked nicely, good value for money. Morning after with a hangover, the chef not only provided me with a big mug of coffee but paracetamol came free. Lovely breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Sad to leave and we will definitely be returning.

These folks are trying really hard to develop a B&B but there is a lot of room for improvement. Their pub is outstanding! Room was less so. People are great but somewhat overshadowed by mold on walls and wet room bath. Would definately return for the pub-not the room.

We were happy with this hotel. Quiet location, comfortable and large room, good service. Clean and tidy hotel. The bed is very comfortable, it does not creak as in other hotels in Cornwall. I will recommend this hotel to my friends.

Very disappointing, contacted by the Hotel a couple of weeks before we were due to stay and told they would actually be closed for refurbishment. no offer of help to find alternative accommodation. I consider that to be very poor customer service.
