Nearby pub
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this pretty 16th century pub has a large sunny garden for al fresco dining and open fire to keep you warm in winter. There is ample parking and children and dogs are welcome.
Nearby beach
Bodigga Beach joins Keveral Beach to create one long strip. Mostly sandy with some rocky outcrops, Bodigga is a year-round dog friendly beach. The waters are regarded as safe for swimming and there are some excellent snorkelling opportunities on a rising tide. To get onto the beach itself, park at Millendreath and walk from there.
Nearby walk
Take the opportunity of staying in this area to explore Bodmin Moor - a bleak wilderness quite unlike the traditional expectation of landscape in the West Country. The moor has many stone circles and standing stones, of which The Hurlers and The Cheesewring are two of the best known. From Minions, the highest village in Cornwall, just outside Liskeard, it is just a short distance to The Hurlers, three Bronze Age stone circles dating back to around 1500 BC. From here it is about a mile across the moor to The Cheesewring. So called because of its shape, The Cheesewring is a towering stack of a rock formation created by glaciation and weathering over thousands of years. A climb to the top provides breathtaking views into Devon in one direction and far into Cornwall in the other. As a reward, treat yourself to a cream tea back at The Hurlers Halt in Minions, known as the highest cafe in Cornwall.

A WOW of a walk!
This is a real WOW of a walk! The views are amazing and although it is partly industrial landscape it is still stunning. It is an easy walk round The Hurlers up to The Cheesewring although a bit rocky and steep close to The Cheesewring but still manageable. The nearby village of Minions is quaint and boasts a pub, shop and tearoom.
March 2009
Outstanding Views
The walking countryside here is outstanding on a clear day - you can see for miles and miles. The Cheesewring stack itself is a fairly easy climb that is well worth it just to stand on top and admire the countryside mapped out below you.
February 2009
The Cheesewring looks like it has been stacked up by a passing Giant. Great for picnics, with panoramic views on a good day.
October 2008
Magical
There is something magic about the wide open expanse of Bodmin Moor. Climbing up to the top of the Cheesewring, seeing the moors laid out below you, with views stretching into Devon and Cornwall provides a great sense of space, and certainly blows the cob webs away.
July 2008
Beautiful views.
As well as spectacular views on a clear day the Hurlers cast a magical spell on those visiting them. The Cheesewring is well worth the walk and again a spectacular structure of granite.
Nearby town
High on Bodmin Moor, St Cleer is set amid some of Cornwall’s most dramatic countryside. Step onto the moor itself and the views in every direction, across bracken and gorse clad hills with the ruins of old mining wheal houses dotted about, are glorious. Walking here you’ll share the landscape with wild ponies and a teeming population of moorland birds but it is the overwhelming sense of peace that brings ramblers back again and again.
Also nearby
Explore the magnificent Lanhydrock House. Steeped in history and encompassed by flowing grounds, the castle allows visitors a sneak peek into the lives of both the aristocracy and the servants who lived there. Bikes can be hired to explore the ancient woodlands and peaceful riverside paths, too.

Lanhydrock

Amazing!
Beautiful preserved stately house and garden. Staff helpful and so well run by the National Trust. Well worth a visit.
August 2022
Excellent Dog Walks
The walk through the woods from The carpark at Respyn to Landhydrock house for a coffee is excellent. Our dog enjoyed the river and the shade of the woods.

The guides in the house were very friendly and knowledgeable. The gardens in spring are beautiful with bluebells everywhere and the spring bushes in full bloom.

A good day out
Lanhydrock House and Gardens are well worth a visit. The house is interesting and well presented and the gardens were a mass of colour when we visited. There are also plenty of woodland walks for those who like to be energetic
April 2016
So good we went twice :-)
We're NT members so usually visit nearby sites when on holiday. Highlight of this property was the amazing mountain bike trails. We'd brought bikes with us, but did hire mountain bikes for some. Friendly and helpful staff and well marked trails made it the highlight of my 7yo's holiday! We also enjoyed gardens (including Easter egg trail) and house
September 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the historic Lanhydrock House. First we used the cycle paths which the children (aged 5 and 8) really enjoyed. We then visited the house and gardens and were taken back in time. The children loved following the trails and it kept them entertained. The staff were extremely helpful. A great place to visit.
November 2014
Well worth a visit
Lanhydrock has something for everyone. The house is really interesting and the friendly guides are knowledgeable about its history. Although I didn't visit the formal gardens on this occasion, I did join an organised estate walk, which was led by rangers who were most informative and, again, very friendly. We had lunch in the restaurant, which was tasty and fairly priced. We would certainly recommend a visit.
March 2013
Lanhydrock House and Estate is between Bodmin and Lostwithiel The National Trust House provides a wonderful insight into local history and you can also walk the estate, free of charge, by parking in the car park down by the river, close to Respryn. River side footpaths take you through wooded areas which are covered with wild flowers.
After a good walk you can drive towards Lostwithiel, on the back lanes, to the Duchy Nursery for lunch. Not only is it a pleasure to wander among the plants and trees but the shop and restaurant are designed to add ambience to the whole experience. 5 star
April 2012
The house and grounds are beautiful, quite a sight as you walk down the drive from the car park. The grounds themselves offer lots of different walks, but the one that goes down to the river then back through the woods is my favourite.
October 2008
Lanhydrock
Magnificent late Victorian country house with expensive servants' quarters, gardens and wooded estate near Bodmin.
Visiting this house entails a drive, but it will provide you with a full day out. The house itself is fascinating, mostly because it has been wonderfully Victorianised in every detail - the kitchens, dairy and pantries are extensive - and the history of house, as well as that of the last generation of Robartes to live at Lanhydrock, gradually unfolds as you move around the house (with, of course, the help of National Trust volunteers). There are various options for lunch (picnic, cafe, restaurants) and the grounds are a joy to wander around afterwards. There are quizzes for children and the option of driving right up to the gate if a member of your party can't manage the walk down the drive.

Popular Lanhydrock
Well worth a visit for the grounds as well as the house. The kitchens are a real eye opener with all the old utensils. Walk down through the grounds to the River Fowey and the beautiful old Respryn Bridge. If you prefer you can drive down and park beside the bridge. Lovely walks beside the river.
Set on the south of Bodmin Moor, you are assured of a warm welcome at this traditional homely pub with its roaring fires, selection of local ales and good home cooking.

What a wonderful friendly pub with amazing food. Beamed ceilings and an open fire and woodburner make it a perfect cosy feel. Staff were also friendly and couldn't do enough to make you welcome.

Great!
A lovely, refreshingly normal pub with excellent food and friendly staff.
Take the branch line train from Liskeard to Looe, a great day out for the whole family.
August 2014
A beautiful sunny day by the sunny
We enjoyed a lovely trip by train to Looe (3 adults and 2 children cost in total approx. £10 return). It's about a 10 minute walk from the station to the town but there is lots of lovely shops, quaint narrow streets and activities for children. We went on a trip out to see on a glass bottom boat, but didn't see anything below the water! Crabbing is very popular and a simple kit cost £3 and kept the children entertained for quite a while. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at The Courtyard Bistro. A quick visit to the beach and an ice cream back to the train completed a great day out.
October 2012
Very scenic journey
A very pretty little branch line that drops dramatically down through the wooded valley. There is always plenty of bird life and wading fowl on the water as you go by, and the walk into Looe from the station is short and level. Highly recommended, lots of pubs and restaurants in Looe make it a nice winter's day trip, with a pub lunch by a real fire an added bonus! You can get off at some of the little stops on the way and do circular walks from those stations.
August 2012
Great short train journey for the kids to enjoy en route to the beach at Looe. Hot day (no a/c on the train) and was completely packed on the carriages.
May 2012
The branch line train journey from Liskeard to Looe a fantastic experience for the whole family with plenty of parking at Liskeard Station.
This pub is centrally located in the village and offers real ales alongside wines, spirits and vintage ports. Food is locally sourced and served in either the bar, restaurant or garden. Dogs are welcome.

Absolutely enchanting
We visited a couple of times and took drinks out to the green overlooking the river, a spot that inspired the characters of Ratty and Mole from “Wind in the Willows.” Really gorgeous in the afternoon in the sunshine!

Oldish pub. Refurbbed over the years. Having been coming to Lerry for several years now. The pub is an asset to the village.
June 2022
So friendly, lovely food
We stayed at Shepherds Rest and this pub was a 5-10 minute walk through the fields away. We found the landlords and their staff incredibly friendly and welcoming, the menu is extensive and their food and drink reasonably priced and tasty. We went there 4 times and loved it, highly recommended.

Fabulous food and hospitality
What an amazing pub - the selection of food was amazing and everything that we ordered was to a very high standard. The pub staff were truly beyond comparison being so incredibly welcoming and friendly (to both humans and their dogs). Would highly recommend their Sunday roasts.

Delicious
An extensive menu and delicious food. Couldn’t have ordered food which was more different: Roast beef and Tom Yum soup but both were absolutely gorgeous. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

Friendly pub
Very friendly pub. Good choice of menu. More pub grub than fine dining.
October 2019
Great pub but be aware
The pub is lovely, the staff are great and the Parrot is sweet.
The ales are reasonable quality and the food is very acceptable standard pub fare, sadly they are priced as if from an Artisan Micro brewery and a Gastrovenue.
We ate there for the first 2 nights but couldn’t bring ourselves to be fleeced for a 3rd night.
August 2017
Worth the Walk
We walked through the woods along the River to The Ship and enjoyed a few local brews as well as an excellent lunch. Very generous portions. Also visited early evening on a high tide so restaurant was very busy. As we had a dog we settled in the bar for fish and chips and local ice cream. Friendly service and good food and beer. Happy
One of the oldest pubs in Cornwall, The Crown Inn offers fantastic locally sourced food. With meat from the local butchers at Kilhallon and from top Cornish meat wholesaler Robert Trevarthen, fish landed in Looe and shellfish from Fowey Fish, plus local game when in season, there is plenty to delight on this menu.

Local away from home
Lovely pub not too far away. Honestly felt like a local away from home and even though in a small village - seemed very welcoming to tourists.
We had food which was nice - although we did hear a few complaints about wait times the second time we went.

Excellent local pub
As per the title - we tried The Crown on the recommendation of our host and were not disappointed. Proper local atmosphere in a pub with a long history - food was excellent, quality and value well-matched; local ales to accompany. Definitely one not to miss.

Very welcoming to the 2 of us and our small dog, especially as we hadn`t booked.
Food was beautifully presented, very good but slightly overpriced, we thought.

A great traditional pub.
A great traditional pub with a good old fashioned atmosphere. The friendly staff made my husband, myself and our little dog very welcome. We had a lovely meal - I recommend the fish pie and my husband said his roast beef was delicious! The portions are very generous making it good value for money too.

Very disappointed with our meals, which were overpriced and quite small.
