Nearby pub
Set above the sea with a palm lined garden running down to the rocks, this is the perfect place to enjoy the creations of Head Chef Matthew Smith. The menu is created using locally sourced produce and guests are welcome to dine on the terrace in fine weather or inside on the Upper Deck. An open fire will keep you toasty during autumn and winter.

Gorgeous view, lovely wine
A perfect place to drink wine and have some homemade bread and olives watching the sea after a busy day at the beach. The garden is enclosed and the kids could play safely while we admired the view. A paradise.
September 2015
This pub offers a conventionally stylish environment very similar to lots of Gastropubs around the UK, it offers a nice environment to relax in with a few drinks and nibbles and the garden is nice on warm days, offering good view of the coast etc. I took my family for dinner but was disappointed, The children's menu was limited and the food when it arrived looked executed in haste and was uninspiring. My wife and I both chose fish dishes and whilst these were nice they were nothing special, dessert followed the pattern set by mains but kids were really deflated with the few scoops of ice cream on offer. In summary the food was OK to nice but I did not feel I received value for money, and I left feeling the typical tourist taken for granted. My wife was also disgusted at the state of the ladies and this certainly didn't help the mood!
September 2014
Really warm and cosy setting, with great views. Delicious and interesting menu, definitely worth a visit.
Nearby beach
One of Cornwall’s most picturesque fishing villages, the strip of sand in the harbour can get quite busy in summer. The local kids enjoy pier jumping into the harbour. On the way into Mousehole from Penzance, there is a rocky strip of beach with a small pool in front of the Old Coastguard Hotel where you can while away the time exploring rockpools.
September 2017
Harbour beach
The smaller of the two harbour beaches are lovely. You have to look up your tide times to get it where the sea is inside the harbour wall and then it's the perfect soft sand beach for kids to explore the rock areas and fishing boats. We could jump off the harbour wall into the sea and the weather was glorious all week. The town itself is quaint and pretty with lots of interesting galleries, cafes and shops. Absolute paradise.

coast path Mousehole to Lamorna
We did this starting in the beautiful village of Mousehole. The path has some muddy spots so good footwear is necessary. In Lamorna there's a small Café/Restaurant (closes 6 p.m) and a tiny shop (closes 4.30 p.m). The way back we walked the inland path which is very beautiful as well but yet a bit muddier.
Duration ca. 3 hours if the path is in good condition, it took us more than 4 hours.
Nearby walk
Take the South West Coast Path from Mousehole harbour to the lovely cove at Lamorna. Follow the coast path signs with the sea on your left. The path hugs the coast, with opportunities for bird watching and terraces can still be seen where early daffodils were once grown for the London market. Go in April to see wild daffodils in flower. You can return by the same route or follow the signs inland from Lamorna harbour which will bring you back into Mousehole behind the bird hospital and down the hill back to the harbour.
July 2023
Very overgrown
Lovely walk, but very overgrown for most of the way.
October 2022
Best walk
Wonderful path in April with the daffodiles but also attractive in October.
April 2019
Stunning Views
Well worth walking this section of the SW Coast path, views were stunning.
April 2011
Lovely bit o cliff
This is a lovely walk and a pint at the Wink in Lamorna afterwards is the best bit. The landlady is a very special person.
March 2010
A beautiful walk
In spring the wild flowers are beautiful.
Nearby town
This cosy village is awash with myth and legend; it would seem that most fairytales concerning Cornwall feature Mousehole. The Christmas lights here draw people from the four corners.
September 2013
Mousehole and surrounding area
Mousehole is a beautiful little village and harbour with many small shops to buy locally made gifts and crafts,several very good places to eat,in particular Pam's Pantry,where all the food is freshly prepared and very reasonable!For evening meals,2 Fore street and The Cornish Range are both excellent.Places to visit nearby include Marazion where you can walk across the causeway at low tide to St Michael's Mount...very interesting! Porthcurno and The Minack Theatre are both worth a visit,and there is a spectacular walk along the coastal path to Lamorna.If you want to leave the car behind,a regular bus service runs half-hourly into Penzance and from there connecting services will get you to many other popular beaches including St.Ives,Sennen Cove etc.
October 2012
A lovely littlel Cornish village with very nice craft shops. Just the right size for a quick visit.
June 2011
A charming tiny fishing village. A small beach is located in a sheltered part of the Harbour.
Also nearby
Taking pride of place on the cliffs above Porthcurno, the world-famous Minack Theatre is truly one of a kind. Hosting an array of open-air events, visitors to the theatre will be intrigued and entertained by actors and musicians performing fantastic live acts. If you can tear your gaze away from the stunning Atlantic background, that is.
October 2022
Wow!
Breathtaking setting and unique theatre experience. Thank you.
August 2022
Not to be missed
You will need to book ahead but if you are in the vicinity this is a must to visit. The gardens and overall experience are a great "big tick" on the bucket list
August 2022
Oh wow!
Stunning location and a fantastic production of The Merry Wives of Windsor. A unique and very special experience that should be on everyone's bucket list. Remember to bring lots of cushions and blankets and a picnic. Oh and more cushions! 😆
July 2022
Simply breathtaking!
We visited the Minack Theatre for the first time

Mischief Movie Night at the Minack
Fantastic setting and a very entertaining show. The staff were brilliant and the social distancing worked well. If you have the opportunity to visit (for a tour or with tickets for a show) don't miss it. It's an amazing place.

Minack theatre
Brilliant, a must, the play was excellent
June 2019
Best open-air theatre ever
I came here back in the 1970's and was fascinated. I came again now and nothing has changed. Where can you say that? Unique place, great artists (we enjoyed Shakespeare), incredible atmosphere. Out of this world! But take warm clothes, it can be cold later!
September 2018
Amazing place !
We had booked to see a performance months ago as a friend recommended it. We were not disappointed. This is an amazing place.
August 2018
A wonder to see
£5 each to view a theatre seems steep but when you go through the doors and see the view on a sunny day its well worth it. One of the best views Ive ever seen in Cornwall.
August 2017
Beautiful
Stunning views, gardens, ammenities and the actual theatre itself is worth the trip down alone. Recommended to anyone visiting Cornwall, add the MinackTheatre to your itinerary.
October 2016
An Absolute Must!
The views from this magical place are gorgeous and all the gardens that are painstakingly laid out between the seats are a real pleasure to see,but the theatre itself is so spectacular that it almost takes your breath away.We have been to Cornwall lots of times and have always promised ourselves a visit to the Minack but this was the first time that we had made it.I have to say that having been once we will certainly be returning.Thank you Rowena Cade for starting this truly magical place!
September 2015
An absolute must!
June 2013
Worth a visit. Wonderful views, sea birds amazing to watch. Warm welcome good cafe, great cakes!
June 2013
A unique experience!
What can one say? This was my second trip to The Minack, but my partners first. She was utterly enthralled - the production of "Mack & Mabel" was fabulous! But, let's be honest, the real star of the show is the theatre itself - absolutely tranquil setting, looking out over the sea and Porthcurno Beach while the production unfurls before you (there is something truly magical about the sound of the sea drifting in during the quiet parts of the show). Really - if you do one thing whilst in Cornwall, please make it a trip to see a play at The Minack Theatre. You surely will not regret it - and it's outstanding value for money too (less than a tenner for a seat)!
November 2012
Minack Theatre – Spectacular
The story about how the theatre was created is fascinating.
The views from inside the theatre and out to sea are stunning.
Once you have visited the theatre either walk down the footpath or go to the car back at The Telegraph Museum and walk down to Porthcurno Beach. What a way to spend a day.

Amazing
Have wanted to visit Minack for ages & it lived up to expectations, fantastic views & what an amazing story.
August 2012
Wonderful evening at the Minack Theatre
Wonderful evening at the Minack Theatre performance of David Copperfield. The weather on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon had been appalling - pouring rain- but we received text updates from the Minack, and in line with the BBC weather forecast the rain stopped in time for the show and later on the moon shone over the sea. The play was very well done and we all enjoyed it, even the teenage boys. We wrapped up warmly and invested in hire of the Minack padded seat cushions with backs. This year we had stone seats with backs which were much more comfortable than sitting on the grass terraces. I booked the seats online about a month in advance, and I believe they were sold out for the week's run of the play.
August 2012
Squashbox Theatre - Craig
If Squashbox repeats in 2013 ...you must go and see it. Morning shows for children - but equally enthralling for Adults.
Craig is a fantastic performer and you get the chance to see the Minack.
But you will need to book - performances in August are usually sold out a few days in advance.
July 2012
Amazing and great value
I rang the theatre to ask for advice and they were incredibly helpful.Unfortunately the weather was rubbish - but the show went on and we enjoyed a great play in an amazing location - even the weather couldnt ruin the evening. Well worth a visit and good value for money.
June 2012
Worth every penny - the history about how the theatre was created is fascinating; the views from inside the theatre and out to sea are stunning.
May 2012
Excellent attraction with fantastic views.
We tried to book tickets online prior to our visit, but the theatre was fully booked. However, when we visited during the day, we found that the booking office had received some cancellations and we were delighted to be able to get tickets for two days later . Worth checking with the booking office when you visit!
May 2012
MINACK THEATRE
This is truly uplifting, the story about it is amazing ,the views are simply wonderful. No plays on when we visited but truly a great place to spend some time, free car-park!! decent reasonably priced cafe, friendly staff.
April 2012
Mesmerising
We got tickets to see Titanic The Musical which was being performed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the sinking. Adult tickets were a very reasonable £8 for the upper terraces, which gave a decent view. We all wrapped up warm with blankets and foam sit mats (essential) and thoroughly enjoyed the show. The backdrop of the sea and cliffs on the opposite side of the bay gave this show special significance. The real water gushing down the steps and the marine distress flare illuminating the sea made this a truly emotional and memorable experience.
Go to the Minack Theatre - you won't be disappointed
October 2011
Spectacular!
Read the story of Minack Theatre before visiting and then marvel at what you see there!
October 2011
Worth Going
Saw Pirates of Penzance in Sept and was fab. Do take warm clothes even if the weather seems mild and totally exposed to elements! My partner nearly had frost bite on his ears so had to buy a silly hat! Some people who were not dressed for cold weather left at the interval.
September 2011
Wonderful - everyone should visit this place, truly amazing.
August 2011
A wonderful place to visit, for all the family. Attended chidren's storytelling session on a Tuesday morning (on Tues. & Thurs. morning during summer holidays), which was a great hit with both children and adults. Enjoyed some delicious Cornish pasties in the cafe on site before heading down to Porthcurno beach below - a great day out!Superb views when the weather is fine.
July 2011
Fantastic. Super setting for The Death of Sherlock Holmes which was funny and very entertaining. Wrap up warm, even on a summer's evening, and take cushions to sit on. Plenty of opportunity in the break to wander round and explore,taking photographs, up and down the steps. We bought fish'n'chips in Sennen to eat there which were lovely rather than have the hassle of carrying a picnic round all day.
July 2011
Great Evening
A superb location, made even better by a great performance.
Will return.
June 2011
Marvellous Minack
We loved the Minack: the turquoise sea as a backdrop to the action on the stage. We were there for a matinee on a hot September day in 2010. A traditional production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikardo by actors from Cambridge University. Many years ago, a friend had performed in this at the Minack.
Words of warning: the tiers are very steep, and the sun can be very hot: not a venue for the very elderly (who were there when we were, but a couple were overcome by heat). Recommend the canvas seat covers which make the narrow tiered seats, cut from the rock, more comfy.
June 2011
The Minack Theatre
A wonderful venue. Attending at least one event is a must. Take plenty of warm clothing along with a picnic and something hot to drink because you really are exposed to the elements. Early booking is essential for many events. If you love the theatre then a visit to the Minack is not to be missed. Plenty of easy access parking.
March 2010
A stunning location for this original open air theatre. Fantastic views with the possibility of fabulous sunsets. If you are lucky you may also see dolphins. Book early for the summer time plays as it is very popular and remember to take a picnic and lots of warm clothing!

Minack Theatre
Open air theatre built by Rowena Cade in the most stunning cliff top setting near Penzance at Porthcurno.
Whether you attend a performance or simply visit the site (there's the Rowena Cade visitors' centre and a cafe), you'll find the setting utterly breathtaking. I'm still in awe of the determination of Rowena Cade to create this utterly unique theatre where a great variety of imaginative performances take place. The weather is important, so it's a good idea to check the forecast before you book.
- J Wallwork
July 2008
This must be the most dramatic setting for an open air theatre in Britain. Book early if you want to go to a performance.
July 2008
Wow is not enough
To say that it has 'wow' factor is not enough. No photograph does it justice. People walk in through the gates for the first time and their jaws hit the floor. Daytime visitors can enjoy the exhibition about Rowena Cade, the single lady who built the theatre with her own hands, and take refreshments in what must be the most spectacularly appointed coffee shop in the country. But it's even better to come on a summer evening when there is a show on. No trip to Penwith is complete without experiencing this unique and wonderful theatre.
Stride through time at the legendary St Michael’s Mount. Follow a giant’s footsteps and find his heart buried in the cobblestone paths. Scale to the top of the mount and conquer the castle, looking out over spectacular views of the bay and out beyond the horizon. A day spent here is not one to be forgotten.
July 2023
St Michael's Mount
Wonderful. Worth waiting for the tide to be out so as to experience the walk across the causeway. The castle is stunning and full of interest about the lives of the St Aubyn family. The garden, cascading down the cliff, is surely unique and the views are absolutely splendid. No one visiting Penzance and Marazion should miss this treasure and experience
May 2023
Booking necessary
Be aware that you need to book the trip to St Michaels Mount with the NT in the summer months, although you can walk out on the causeway you need to book to actually go onto the island.
April 2023
Magical
We went twice here, wonderful to take the dog for a walk on the beach ( dogs not allowed on the Mount itself though) take in the magical view, make a lot of pictures and sit on the terrace that overlooks the Mount. Absolutely worth half a day's wonder about.
March 2023
Magical St Michael's Mount
Marazion is just 15 mins by car from the cottage and there is ample, specific parking by the beach for Mount visitors. The best way to reach Mount is to walk across the causeway. There is an excellent visitor centre, cafe and art exhibition. Gardens are stunning and extensive views from castle, which has interesting historic interior- especially the chapel
August 2022
Magical
Ended up here at the end of a pilgrimage walk from Lelant. As we came to the top of the hill we looked out to sea and spotted the castle through the mist. As we descended, there was sunshine across the beach and we loved the walk across the causeway. Beautiful gardens, interesting displays and an informative tour of the castle. Magical day.
August 2022
Great half day out
Lovely spot and ensure you book in advance and know the tidal situation. High tide get the boat and low walk the causeway. Try to do both ! Good for kids plenty to see and big area to let off steam. Lovely morning was had and returned to Marazion where we picked up lunch and spent pm on the beach. A good day out.
June 2022
No free entry any more
Been visiting for years. You can no longer enter just to use the cafe or toilet, like you used to. We had to book tickets on our phones at the gate and it allocated us a time slot - so we had to walk back into Marazion to kill an hour before walking back across. Bit of a shame. Still utterly beautiful though.
May 2022
St Michael's Mount
We are National Trust Members and didn't actually book this. After walking across the causeway we were told we needed to have booked online tickets. We then did this on our phone and were admitted easily enough. Cafe has been updated and the plant sales area changed but for the better with more seating. A wonderful castle and beautiful gardens. You need to book a ticket for the boat trip before setting off if you cannot walk the causeway. You can't buy a ticket on the boat anymore. A fabulous day out.
September 2021
Requires booking ahead
Be aware, whatever your previous experience, the NT require a booking even to reach the Mount harbour, never mind entering the castle. Also note, there is very little phone signal on the beach so you cannot book there!
July 2021
Well worth a visit
Exceeded my expectations. Lovely day out.
June 2021
St Michael’s Mount
Very enjoyable day out but quite a climb.A long queue to pay for parking about 15 mins as very difficult to work out how to pay
June 2021
Be prepared to now pay for entry.
We had visited St Michael's Mount before and you could go into the outer areas without having to pay . But now it is £10 for a ticket , so be prepared .
August 2019
Another must visit
Fabulous but get there between 9-10 as it gets very very busy...also check website to see when garden is open!
June 2019
Very special
A crazy place. Copy of Normandy but different. A museum but people still live there. Garden is also spectacular. Short trip by boat is nice.
April 2016
Perfect also for children
August 2015
A MUST TO VISIT....
St Michael's Mount is a truly unique and magical place and was the highlight of our stay. Check the tides on the website; you need to walk the Causeway one way and get the boat in the other as the tide will come in/out while you are there. I would advise going early during the high season. That way you will park easily in the National Trust Car Park on the beach and will avoid the worst of the crowds. Both National Trust Cafes on the Mount do amazing food, often sourced from local producers, and they have spectacular views of the mainland. The Crab Rarebit will linger in my memory...mmm!
The warnings of uneven ground should be heeded; you do need to wear supportive footwear...no flip-flops! The cobbled, steep paths up to the Mount are poorly maintained and have great gaps in between the cobbles. One section known as 'The Pilgrim Steps' dates from mediaeval times and are now little more than tumbledown boulders that have to be scrambled up. Buggies are better left behind or you will end up carrying them (and the kids)!
However, it is SO worth the climb for the amazing views from the top and to look around the house and Church. What a history! Medieval Abbey, to Civil War fortress, and now a private residence. Stunning!
August 2015
Be prepared to hike
Whether you walk across the causeway or get the ferry (likelihood is you'll do both), at some point you will have to walk. The walk from quay to either the gardens or the castle is a bit of a trek, with the latter needing the visitor to scramble up steep cobbled steps and pathways. Once you reach either the strenuous walk is immediately forgotten as you are left agog at the stunning views, both natural and man made.
The top of the castle commands spectacular views across Mount Bay, with Newlyn, Penzance and Marazion all within a perfect vista. If you're brave enough you can peer over the ramparts and spy the fabulous gardens from on high.
Children are easily entertained by the castle quiz and they get a prize at the end, adults can simply wonder at the artefacts on display and the fabulous architecture.
October 2012
Well worth a visit
October 2012
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to St Michael's mount. The castle was delightful and there was much more to it than we had expected. Would recommend a walking stick/pole for the ascent to the castle.
September 2012
Perfect day out
We love St Michael's Mount. If the tide is right you can walk across to the mount and then get a boat ride back. The house and surrounding area are very atmospheric and if you are fortunate enough you will get to see the Basking Sharks. A great day out and well worth a visit.
August 2012
Good day out for all the family
Took the ferry as it was high tide. A long queue but with several ferries we didn't have to wait long. Kids enjoyed the ferry ride and the interesting things in the castle. Quite a steep climb on cobbles up to the castle so wished I had worn more sensible shoes but worth the climb. Cafe's were good and also places to picnic. Lovely views from the castle. Spent several hours on St Michael's Mount.
May 2012
A truly worthwhile visit and highly recommended. But you do need to be physically fit and able to cope with steep uphills on cobbled paths! Not for the elderly or infirm!
April 2012
Lovely day out
We got there on a small boat. Had a nice scone in the cafe and waked around the house. Lovely day out
September 2011
Fabulous views on the mount !
The views are amazing and the castle is full of history. A bonus is the castle is still inhabited as a family home, which gives it a nice lived in feel. Gardens look fantastic from the ramparts, but are not open every day. Phone up before you visit to check tide times. We went out by boat, then walked back across the causeway.
The NT cafe is lovely, and you can have an above average waitress served meal.
September 2011
I would recommend everyone to make the walk across to the Mount, it is magical but do watch the tides!
July 2011
ST M's Mount
Well worth being a member of the National Trust to be able to enjoy this treasure. Great afternoon's outing for family - we had our 2 older teenage kids who were very happy to go round the castle. Lovely place to sit and relax too enjoying an ice cream after you've viewed the property. Keep your eye on the tide though - it comes in very quickly but it adds to the fun to have to wade back through thigh-high water!
June 2011
The view from Sunnyside over St Michael's Mount is magical and a trip there doesn't disappoint. We were impatient for the tide to recede and so began our visit by paddling over the causeway, an adventure in itself. The walk up to the house was an exciting scramble, but not for the infirm. At the top the views were tremendous and the property quite as wacky as the octagonal dairy on the way up suggested it would be. Lunch in the tea shop was one of the best we had during our stay. All in all, a delight. Brilliant for anyone with children. Best not paddle over the causeway if you're taking the buggy though.
April 2009
January 2009
Wonderful St Michael's Mount
When in the area there is nothing nicer to do, whatever the weather, than walk or take a boat to the Mount (depending on the tide). At low tide you can meander up the causeway the to the Mount where a nice NT cafe awaits and a steep walk up to the castle (passing over the giant's heart on the way), here the views across the Mount's gardens are second to none. A magestic place.
January 2009
Check the tide times before you leave, as it's great to walk over to the mount. If you have small children it is better to walk or bring a baby carrier as pushing a buggy on the cobbles is really hard work. It's a magical place, nothing quite like it, it's amazing how the access to the mount suddenly appears and then disappears later in the day. There is also a fab outside play area for children with plenty to do for small tots and children up to about 12 years.
January 2009
Sub tropical gardens
Great attraction to visit if you haven't already been. The castle is worth the climb, and the gardens are wonderful - many sub tropical species there which can only be found in this part of England. Well worth a visit.
January 2009
Set out from a beautiful beach, this is a great place for a day out. If the tide is in you can get a boat across to the Mount which is great fun. There are lovely gardens as well as the Mount to explore.
September 2008
A trip to St Michael's Mount is a wonderful way of spending a sunny summer's afternoon or even a beautiful autumn one, if you want to avoid the crowds! The view of the castle in the bay is so well known, it is lovely to get another perspective of the coastline by looking back from the island to Marazion beach and the sweep of the bay to Penzance. To get the full experience you need to walk across the causeway at low tide (there are often puddles!!) but the walk up to the castle itself is very steep, so not a day for heels! The restaurant is nice, and there is also a tea-room/cafe, but we like to buy pasties in Philps at Marazion and sit round the island's harbour to eat them. On your ascent to the castle don't forget to look out for the heart of Cormoran the Giant, now turned to stone...
July 2008
Wonderful five minute trip by sea or if the tide is low, you can walk across the causeway to this fairy tale castle which dominates Mounts Bay. Steep walk up to the castle itself which is not for the faint hearted! Those who would rather not can wander round the little harbour. Good coffee and pasties at the Cafe or there is the Sail Loft Restaurant. N.T. shop. There is plenty to see in the Castle and the views from it are stunning.
Newlyn is renowned for its artistic covenance and so makes the perfect situation for an art school. Newlyn School of Art opened in September 2011 and provides drawing, painting and printmaking classes, as well as evening talks for the public.

A great course

If you like painting I would highly recommend booking a course to make up part of a holiday. I had an excellent time out and about and in the studio. Thank you Maggie O’Brian.
Chic and stylish, 2 Fore Street is a French bistro-style restaurant. Sitting on Mousehole harbour-front it has views across Mount's Bay as far as Lizard point. The menu makes the most of fresh local produce with classic old fashioned fish and chips, homemade burgers with Cornish Blue cheese, locally caught mackerel smoked in-house, simple salads and toasted homemade bread. After your meal, you can relax in the beautiful secluded garden.

Fantastic food and service
Superb fish dishes and puddings

Delicious food, good atmosphere!
Although we struggled to book a table for six of us, finally settling on an early (5.30pm) midweek dinner, it was worth it!
The decor, atmosphere, service
June 2022
Very nice but pricy
We ordered the scallops and arancini. Scallops were overdone sadly and when the arrancini arrived there were three very small ones on the plate. Luckily we had ordered some sides too to fill us up. Bit pricy for what it was but a lovely setting and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. We didn’t go back again a second time even though it was in a prime location for us.
August 2018
We own Hillside Cottage just up the hill in Paul and have been coming to 2 Fore Street for years - morning, noon and night. It's one of our favourite local places to eat in and around Mousehole. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the menu is consistently good and fairly priced and the setting is magical. Summer evenings eating in the rear garden are a highlight.
September 2015
I would agree with another reviewer that the food is quite pricey but as a family we enjoyed the experience of eating here. The service was friendly and attentive and despite being the only diners sat in (and at the very end) of the garden with the kids we did not feel excluded, indeed as evening set in we were offered blankets! As parents the children's menu is all important and, whilst not being extensive, the menu pleased our kids and the food when it arrived was well received. My wife and I both enjoyed our mains but desserts were the winners of the night.
September 2014
Delicious food and drink in a stylish setting. Up against some stiff competition, but I think the best in Mousehole!
April 2011
Expensive and not really that special
This place is lovely inside and the location is perfect. But. for the money there are far better places to eat locally. The wine is pricey as well and with a small collection you are very limited.
November 2008
Light and airy
Visited this restaurant with family and kids on a Saturday lunch-time in November. It was lovely and light and airy on a dull day - the prices were varied and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and efficient.
Perfect for a snack before or after following in the pilgrim’s footsteps to St Michael’s Mount.
August 2022
Brilliant service

Views are lovely, was a bit surprised at poor level of cleanliness in restaurant/bar area at lunchtime - we were first in for lunch service and would have expected floors to be swept, tables wiped down etc. Food was nice - sandwich and soup, and lovely chips! Staff could have been a little friendlier but obviously were quite busy. Would go back but with slightly different expectations.

Fantastic views and great service. The food we had was really good. Very good for all the family.

Excellent views from the bar and the terrace. Food poor though.
