Nearby pub
A cosy pub offering cask ales and a daily changing menu using local, seasonal produce. Dog friendly so you can take Mutley along and log burning stoves help to keep the winter chill away!
Nearby beach
Facing south, Par Sands Beach benefits from long hours of sunshine. A wide expanse of sand hugged by rows of dunes, Par Sands lends itself perfectly to days out by the sea. Popular with families, the beach has a very gently sloping shelf so the water remains shallow for quite a while. Parking is available behind the beach.

Great Beach
This is massive not too crowded lovely sand and a lot of dogs, not got a problem until we came across dog poo been left terrible dog owners . Toilets at the back of beach and a lake lovely and some food huts so easy access as well great day out
October 2019
Great beach for the dog
Great beach for walking the dog, minimal facilities, great pub within walking distance at one end was a real bonus (the ship), highly recommended.
Nearby walk
The Wildlife Trust look after this ancient woodland with footpaths and trails to follow. Access is limited due to challenging footpaths and dogs are welcome.
Nearby town
A busy old market town, Bodmin has some very interesting architecture, including the notorious Bodmin Jail.
March 2012
Friendly small town
Bodmin has an award winning tourist information office and lots of little cafes and tea rooms if you fancy a snack. Also has a good selection of shops and several nice pubs.
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
Very interesting Victorian house in lovely surroundings. The guides and volunteers were very knowledgeable and helpful. A very enjoyable visit.

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.

Fantastic place to spend a day

Beautiful gardens
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.
June 2021
Beautiful and interesting
Well worth a visit. The National Trust as usual have brought this lovely house and gardens to life making it an interesting place to visit
September 2020
Very interesting visit
Excellent for walks and bike trails .
Close to Bodmin but unless you like the steam railway nothing there.

Great place, nice house

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.
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.

We had a lovely meal here, highly recommend.

Ok but pricey
Food was ok, not the best we had but very pricey and was the most expensive meal out we had all week for 2 adults. Overheard some locals saying it had changed hands recently and was not as good.

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.
July 2012
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.

Off the beaten track, we ate in the garden, Has some interesting looking holiday chalets. Only had a snack lunch which was very good.

Fantastic pub and fantastic food. Children and dogs made welcome. Service rather slow so be prepared for a long evening

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.

Be transported to faraway lands at the wonderful Eden Project. An educational charity and social enterprise, the Eden Project teaches visitors all about global environments and the importance of sustainability. Get lost in the tropics before stopping in the Med, who knows where your day could take you.
July 2024
Wonderful visit
We loved visiting the Eden Project. Beautiful surroundings, the biodomes in particular are incredible, it is impressive to see what has been created from an old clay pit. I would strongly recommend pre-booking, particularly if it is raining.
June 2024
Disappointed
very expensive, and sadly not good value for the money
October 2023
A brilliant day out
Spent the day here exploring and learning about the wonders of The Eden Project. This is a day out not to be missed.
August 2022
Interesting Day Out
Fascinating day out

Eden Project
We enjoyed our visit but the standard of catering was dreadful and it somehow didn't quite live up to our expectations. Worth going out of season. Car parking quite a way from entrance.
September 2020
Lovely day out
For the quickest route to the Eden Project put the post code in to your sat nav from the cottage .if you follow the brown signs it is a lot further and slower due to traffic. Can be an expensive day out . Take a picnic.
Big queues for food and drinks.
September 2019
Eden project and amazing few hours visit
My daughter and myself visited here and we both were overwhelmed by the whole experience, very well laid out and something for everyone.
October 2018
Worth a visit
Worth a visit but look out for discount codes or vouchers as can be expensive to get in but ticket valid for a year.
Visited a few years ago so wanted to revisit to see what had changed or improved. The plants in the domes have grown in to good sized plants. A few more sculptures & places to eat.

Great for families
We've been several times and always had fun. You can get annual tickets when you gift aid your entry which is very worthwhile as it isn't cheap. Went twice over Easter week once going in as it opened and enjoying the biomes in the pouring rain! Core building also great for kids and not as busy as biomes. We went again later in the day another day and discovered that you can have an evening meal in the Mediterranean biome midweek from Easter to October which was a lovely treat and then they give you a lift back up the hill afterwards! Staying til it closes gives you a quieter time too!
August 2015
Amazing place, well worth a visit
August 2014
A fun day at Eden
Myself and my two children (aged 4 and 7) visited Eden Project during the school holidays. We had a great day out which was enjoyed by all. The Biomes were busy at times but there was plenty of little hideaway places outside to get away from the crowd and recharge the batteries. We took our own picnic so don't know about pricing / food of the onsite eateries but I can say that the ice creams were lovely and in my opinion great value at £2 each.
November 2012
Simply great !
Last year we bought an annual ticket and could visit The Eden Project 3 times. Every time we went it was a great day out !
October 2012
Eden Project
Excellent all round.including zip wire!
September 2012
We went on a rainy day in the summer hols and understandably everyone else had the same idea so it was packed. It was nice to see the iconic biomes and interesting to look round but we thought it was very expensive for what it was - £60 for 4 of us plus we ate there so an extra £40 for that. We also seemed to spend a lot of time queuing for food, to look round the biomes, for the park and ride etc . We would go back but perhaps out of season to have chance to explore fully. We'd also look round for cheaper tickets!!
August 2012
Have wanted to visit here for many years. It was quite interesting, the Biomes were amazing to look at from the outside. We bought tickets from the tourist information centre before we visited which they sell at discounted prices and also went after 3.30pm when entrance is less. The cakes in the cafe were all a bit stale, at nearly £40 for a piece of cake and a drink for 7 of us we thought they would be lovely and were not so good. Maybe it was a bad day for cake. Glad to have visited, would probably only go once.
June 2012
good value with stores vouchers....
Visited for the first time 10 years ago, and of course in 10 years it HAS changed...more grown up, but we remarked to each other many times that it didn't feel as "magical" as the first time we wound our way down to the domes. The large 'flags' have gone that marked the way down the paths.....perhaps that was it? entrance was £23 each for adults & £9.50 each for kids....So to be honest we really wouldn't have visited had it not been for a certain store voucher scheme that meant we payed £5 each and the kids £2.50 each ...so we did treat ourselves to lunch..£5 for most mains with salad or new potatoes....YUMMY, filling & VERY good value, with free pitchers of water on the tables and help yourself mugs hang above - all very handy. Plenty to see and do although our kids sped around the place and ended up where they REALLY wanted to be..in the shop. A great day out though , as they slept like logs on the way home!
April 2012
What a wonderful way to spend a day. The weather was perfect for us, but that didn't matter as it would be okay on a poor day at Eden. It was early in the year when we visited but still plenty to see and do.
Had lunch there and it was very good value for money.
We will be back!
September 2011
Definitely lived up to expectations and has grown considerably in content since our last visit 9 years ago.
July 2011
Its excellent, go and have a great day.
July 2011
Absolutely fabulous. The highspot of our holiday. So much to see and enjoy, will definitely return.
June 2011
We felt that £20 per adult was a lot to pay, yes there was plenty to see; however, on a wet, cold, windy day walking the outside paths was not great.The two domes well worth seeing, but again not worth £40. We came away saying to each other that we felt the Eden Project to be a great Educational Centre for children, schools and colleges to visit, there were other gardens we visited in Cornwall we felt much better value.
January 2011
Eden Sessions
There aren't may concert venues where there are no queues for the loo or the bar! A great venue with staff who actually smile - and if you don't like the band you can always wander around a biome (or two).
February 2009
Amazing
The Eden Project really is somewhere very special. Leave loads of time to look around and I would recommend staying for the evening as this is when the place really comes alive. The lighting and scenery in the evening has to been seen to be believed, it’s so beautiful.
February 2009
December 2008
A great day out with loads to do for all ages. In winter, skating on the ice rink is great fun and the hot, tropical Biome is a great antedote for the winter blues. There's lots of delicious food to choose from in the cafes and restaurants too.
September 2008
Fabulous day out
The biomes are amazing, and the educational centre is interesting too. Watch the film on the making of Eden. It's a good couple of hours long but worth it. With ice skating and gigs playing at this exciting venue too it makes a good day out for all the family.
August 2008
Eden Sessions and Biomes
My trip to The Eden Project was amazing. I visited in the summer to see a band and included in the ticket was access to the rest of the grounds; we went early and took a trip around the Biomes before the gig started. The sound quality from the open-air gig was fantastic, I would definitely recommend going if you get the chance (but remember tickets sell out fast!).
July 2008
Plants and gigs!
A visit to the Eden Project is a must. The biomes which house the plants from all over the world are amazing! And if you get chance to see a gig then it will be an experience you will not forget - tickets are often sold out!
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.

We enjoyed a good meal of fish and chips which was nicely cooked and good value.

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!

Loved The Ship Inn at Lerryn
Fabulous food and drink and lovely people. A really happy place!
June 2022
Really Good pub. Staff and food excellent
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.
May 2022
Good Food.
We enjoyed an evening meal at The Ship Inn. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. It’s well worth visiting.
November 2021
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.
August 2021
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!

A friendly local country Pub
Local Beer and Food in a lovely Village and only a short walk from Little Gem .

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
A beach cafe in the most rustic sense - a beachside shed with some outdoor seating. It is a National Trust-owned hut, but run by a local couple who provide 'Feast Nights' - now made famous by their appearance on ITV's 'Cornwall with Caroline Quentin'. You need to buy tickets, but the hut is generally open to everyone, except during the winter, so check times on their Web site.
October 2024
Stunning in every way
Wonderful outdoor dining overlooking the beach. Unmissable. An easy walk over uneven paths.
June 2024
What a gem
Found this on our 2nd visit to the beach as so well hidden. Great quality interesting food and drink. A proper oasis

Best Tomato soup ever tested
Wow what a place! Nestled behind the beach and within walking distance. Absolutely amazing food, the menu is mouthwatering! Don’t be put off by the queues, service is very quick. We had the tomato soup and it was ‘the best tomato’s soup ever tasted’ ! Such amazing flavours! Definitely worth a visit! Beautiful views too! Well done the hidden hut and keep up the good work!
June 2022
A lovely experience
We can now see why this place is so popular! The service is excellent very friendly staff who take a minute to ask you about your visit while serving you. The food is beautifly cooked all be it presented in a takeaway box or cup the taste is incredible. My husband opted for the smoked beef chilli I had the Dahl served with flat bread both delicious. It was towards the end of our holiday otherwise we would have had lunch there every day.
March 2022
visited in March
Windy, sunny and busyish. Interesting changing lunch menu which comes in cartons you can take away or eat on site. Also usual snacks and drinks. No need to book in March.

Hidden Gem
Lovely little walk from the car park where you come across some steps, if you then take the steps immediately going up you then come across the stunning Hidden Hut, where the food is fantastic, may be a little pricey, but so worth it, especially sitting on the benches
October 2021
Amazing
We visited the Hidden Hut whilst on holiday last week. Gorgeous food. We had the watercress soup which was scrumptious. Really recommend a visit.

What a surprise . Very popular so be prepared to queue but you can enjoy the view of Porthcurnick beach and headland.
Excellent customer service.

Very interesting
Worth a little walk.
Very enterprising!
November 2019
A little gem
What a wonderful beachside find. It is super popular now so expect to queue, but it's is completely worth it with exceptional food, and a great beachside location. You won't regret a day out here. Check the website for opening times/days.
September 2019
Great food overlooking the beach
Not just another beach front cafe. This place is possibly the best beach cafe/restaurant going. Great food and atmosphere. Really hits the spot. You will not be disappointed and worth the effort.
August 2019
Mrs Jarvis
Really fantastic food, great service (despite the length of the queue). You must visit!
June 2019
Perfect situation and great food
If you didn’t already know it, this a now a justly famous spit just above a lovely Cornish beach.
Splendid food - some fusion inspired and some more typical local Cornish. Great atmosphere. Also they have now a great Hidden Hut cookbook. Such a happy mix of photos and recipes!
April 2019
lush nosh
definitely recommend for a yummy beachside lunch
August 2017
Being relatively local to the area, we felt it was time to see if this often-mentioned beach cafe lived up to it's reputation....and it did! On a sunny August Sunday, the beach was busy and so was the Hidden Hut. Be prepared to queue - for quite a while - but once you've selected which of the mouthwatering options to go for, you've plenty of choice of places to sit and enjoy the really well cooked food and the amazing location. No doubt this will be the first of many visits to come!
November 2016
Wonderful location
Perfect for coffee and cake, overlooking Porthcurnick beach.
November 2016
Stunning place for a delicious lunch! Pricey but great quality. Locally sourced and freshly made. Busy on Bank holidays but worth the queue. Soups are always fabulous as are the pasties, pulled pork baps and sausage rolls. We were lucky enough to get tickets for a feast night once and it was a most memorable and special event.
