This ancient building, once a chapel, dates in parts back to 950AD. Unassuming from the ouside, it is a gem internally and is simply furnished, with slate floors, granite walls and exposed beams in the two separate bar rooms, one of which is subdivided into separate drinking areas. Conversation is the main entertainment here.There is a protected smokers' area in the ancient courtyard at the front of the pub, and a large garden (with children's play area) at the back offering outstanding views over the Tidna Valley and out to sea. A newish restaurant has been incorporated. Four ensuite rooms and a 2-person holiday cottage (the 'Hideaway') are available. Expect always to find the HSD and Tribute here; the varied guest beer will be mainly Cornish or from a nearby Devon brewery such as Otter. The pub hosts live music from time to time.

From the C15th up to about 1960 this was a working farm as well as a pub - there were some alterations after a fire in 1968. Small public bar ‘Top Bar’ has a fielded panelled counter from 1968, flagstone floor, bare bench seat under window, two scrubbed-style tables, darts, TV – further down the building is a door to a genuine flagstone passage – doorway to right leads to a latch door into ‘Kitchen Bar’, a wonderful room with Delabole Slate floor, old large stone fireplace with bread oven and log burner – there is a fixed ‘stable-like’ settle to the right and high backed settle to the left of the fireplace – around a recess is a newish (1968?) dado with bare bench attached, beamed ceiling (for show) and stone bar counter (1968?) – through a doorway gap is another very small bar with modern slate-like tiled floor, stone fireplace (1968) and stable-looking settle and antique settle opposite, bar back is modern shelving. Off the genuine flagstone floor passage with an old cabinet is a small room with bare wood floor, beamed ceiling, newish fireplace, old latch door – this was a living room. Extension on the far left is a two-part restaurant with modern flagstone floor.
