Hawkins Arms  

Very friendly and comfortable stay at a great price. Location is lovely and the bedroom, whilst small, is extremely comfortable. A very creditable range of tv channels too! I've never had such an enormous dinner! It was very good and reasonably priced, and the breakfasts are just fantastic. A real welcome at a lovely spot. We'll be returning.

The fantastic welcome given by the host as soon as we walked into the Pub was exactley what we needed after a long day travelling - his welcome made the stay Brilliant How many other places would you go to at 10.00 o'clock at night and they would cook a meal for you as you were starving - the hospitality was the best I have encountered for years - not many At the HAwkins Arms the hsot offered to cook anything we required and NOTHING was too difficult

Couldn't sort out the telly in teh room

The landlords were very nice and let me in 15 mins early to the room (I hadn't relaised check-in was 5pm). I was looking for a reasonable place to stay where I could get an evening meal on the premises. The meals at the Hawkins (dinner and breakfast) were very good and the dinner was particularly good value. Lots of choices. Beer was very well kept. I also wanted to be close to Truro, where my business call was to be next morning. The landlord told me exactly how long it would take, given am traffic and he was spot on. If I'd decided when to leave based on how far the pub was from Truro, I'd have been late. I liked having a desk to work at in the bedroom and a hairdryer.

I didn't like how noisy the room was (above the bar and the kitchen) until 11:30pm. The bathroom was tiny (although adequate). The whole downstairs smelled of fried food, so I was conscious of the smell on my clothes when I left. I wonder if kitchen ventilation is adequate, as the smell of frying hit one on descending from the bedroom.

The price and availability at the time.

It is a matter of expectation and experience. If you want a roof over your head, clean sheets and a passable breakfast on a budget this place fits the bill so long as you don't look closely. There is however room for improvement on all other fronts, it could be so much more but then again I suppose so would the price. If your room is above the Bar and it is a Friday night it would be better being in the bar enjoying a fairly decent pint rather than thinking of having an early night. I would however single out the food served in the restaurant, I would recommend dining elsewhere.

Good traditional country pub with good food

Very homely Very friendly Great breakfast Great base for discovering surrounding places

Located in a lovely old town. Staff very friendly. Meals were good value for money. No parking problems.

The lokation and the look (outside and inside)

I had a nice time a the hawkins arms but, I was a bit disappointed that the tea and coffee in the room was'nt filled up everyday , I had to ask for milk and water to be placed in my room . I would stay again .c Barker....

Great staff, ace ladlord made us feel as if we were part of the local community, very good breakfast.

Good value for money,typical English pub with good ambience clean room and big full English breakfast

All as expected for a quiet country town pub. Small but comfortable rooms ( leave your big suitcase in the car !). The free wi-fi is useful. Meals good.
