Early season, & staff don’t have it sorted yet. Main course was pretty good ( v slow to appear) but a 45 min wait to ORDER desserts was just too slow- we settled & left. This was my wife’s parents local, & held tight in her memories. This visit disappointed.

The Old Success Inn is one of my very favorite places in the world. Get the train or coach to Penzance and then the bus or a cab (no Ubers or much cell phone coverage) to Sennen Cove. You could base a lot of tourist trips from here - but the rooms are beautiful, WiFi is super fast, restaurant and kitchen are amazing, plus pub and breakfast room all in one place - and a dog friendly beach outside. I just bring a laptop and don’t go very far at all. Heaven.

3 night stay away that was fantastic!!... the scenery, the facility, the food, the beach... all great.. top marks to all the members of staff at this Inn. I don't think I've enjoyed as much a short stay away than this one, even though we had some of that Cornish rain that gets you soaked, it was really enjoyable. Our dog enjoyed the beach too, great space to watch the waves come in off the Atlantic. Our room was close enough to step straight out onto the road and walk down to the beach, pass the carpark that was really handy. £9 for 24 hour stay which in the grand scheme of things was reasonable. Dog friendly place, nice touch of a dog goody bag including poo bags, ball, treats when you stay, a dog bed for your pooch to kip on what more can the parents want..!! All food prepared was done to a turn and great selection to choose from be it breakfast, lunch or evening meal. Fresh produce used always, you could tell a mile off. Thank you to all of you for a super stay, we'll be back for more!!...

Always stop here for a drink after a walk on the beach with the dog. Lovely views if sitting outside. Never eaten at the pub, but food looks delicious. They also have rooms to rent. (Beach restrictions apply from may-sept. )

Spent one night with the family here (two adults and one baby), staff were super friendly and welcoming, assisted with booking an early evening reservation for dinner and helped with organising the room to accommodate our baby in their travel cot. The room was clean and tidy, with complimentary tea and coffee. The view from our room was fantastic and the light from the windows really made the place feel massive. Sennen Cove itself is lovely, albeit a bit blustery in March, walks along the beach are fabulous and there is easy access from the inn to the beach and nearby car parks. The breakfast was superb, full English was cooked brilliantly and with high quality meat and veg. Highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful spot! The staff were attentive, gave our little ones some crayons and paper :) the food was absolutely spot on , we had chicken breast (which can be small and dry in restaurants) but it wasn't here! The portions were large , flavourful and juicy! Some delicious drinks on tap too 😋

Absolutely loved a mini break here. Amazing views of Sennen Cove from the room. Staff so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The dog got thoroughly spoilt with a treat bag in the room and a sausage at breakfast. So refreshing to find pet friendly places, and The Old Success didn't disappoint. Perfect get away for a chilled couple of days. And hope to return. Menu isn't vast but enough to chose from for a couple of days. 1 small ick, breakfast could be hotter!!

I have been staying in Sennen my entire life and it is my favourite place! Every now and again we like to visit The Old Success for a meal. Declan was our waiter and he was a blast! Full of energy and humour, he kept us laughing and well served. We were sad when he finished before we left but he added a great experience to our visit. He read his audience and acted exactly how we wanted him to. Thank you for a great meal and evening. (Just so he knows you if he reads this) We ordered 4 steaks, spilled a bottle of rattler and ordered 2 bottles of Prosecco a day late for the offer) We look forward to our next visit. Thank you.

We stayed at the Old Success Inn for 3 nights not knowing what to expect and our expectations were exceeded. The room was excellent and had a sea view, which was well stocked with teas, coffee etc. very comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The food was excellent, we went for an evening meal one evening and a Sunday roast which was delicious. All the staff were really friendly and we had a warm welcoming when arriving. The area is excellent with lots of walks and beaches, and we would definitely come back! :)

I had a Full English Breakfast. It is the best breakfast I have ever had. Even the poached egg, which I normally skip, was delicious. The meal was so good, later in the week I returned for dinner. a quiz night, and another breakfast. The atmosphere is cozy with views of the sea. There were fresh flowers on the tables and burning tapers in the evening. The wait staff was excellent and attentive each time I went. Andrew is the most excellent waiter. There was also a delightful woman quiz night, who waited on me. She made me feel welcomed.

Amazing! I absolutely loved it 🥰 Lou who served us in the bar was attentive and a good laugh in the evening, there was a lovely younger lad behind the bar too. For us though the star ⭐️ of the show was Declan from the bar, he served us up in the restaurant for dinner and then breakfast the next morning. What a busy bee he his! Watching him he was great with the customers, nothing was too much trouble and took the time to have a giggle without being overbearing. I thought he was at least a supervisor - St Austell maybe time to give him a promotion ☺️ The bed was stunning and my word the pillows were like sleeping on marshmallows, just what I needed after a stressful week! Will definitely be back for a Red velvet with Tia Maria and most definitely have the Prosecco on the Friday offer 🥂! Gorgeous walk to Landsend to blow away the old cobwebs, just wish we could have stayed longer. Proper Job St Austell 👏🏻😉

I can't leave a review on the the Inn, but i will leave a review on the staff. We had booked a short break in February as we have not visited this part of the country, we we looking forward to the location with views across the bay, all the reviews and photos from other visitors were outstanding. Part of the booking process asked us if we had any special requests, as a laugh I asked if we could have a picture of Chuck Norris in the room when we arrived, I got a reply from the Inn that they would see what they could do. We were looking forward to the break but unfortunately my mum fell ill and we had to cancel so that we were near her while she recuperated, it's been a tough couple of weeks as she has been in hospital and slowly recuperating at home, this week has been stressful as she has had 2 falls, ambulance to pick her up etc. This afternoon after her second fall I received a large envelope through the door, Valentine’s card, Birthday card? My birthday is in March, so it was a possible birthday card. Nope, it was a large picture of Chuck Norris from the Old Success Inn, we just fell about laughing, it has cheered us up and made us more determined to visit this hotel, perhaps in a few months when things settle down. Thank you to the staff at The Old Success Inn.

The Old Success Inn, overlooking the stunning Sennen Beach, is a fantastic spot to pop in for a drink. The pub has a lovely beer garden at the front, perfect for enjoying a pint while taking in the views of the beach and ocean. It’s a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal place to unwind after a day of exploring the area. Whether you’re just grabbing a drink or enjoying a sunny afternoon, it’s definitely worth stopping by for the beautiful setting and chilled vibes.

Eaten here loads of times before but so disappointing this time I ordered vegan nut roast ( I'm not vegan I ordered as it sounded nice) it was like sand, I had to ask for gravy to soften it, it didn't come with a yourshire pudding or cauliflower cheese which i had asked about when ordereing however they did add that once I had asked about it. Due to the meal not being great they offered a free pudding I orded Eaton mess and it arrived like this!! I've never seen it served in this manner and it looked so un appetising I returned it. The other three people with me all had roast beef but all had items missing from their plate HI Chris I've just had your response thank you very much for taking the time to get back to me after the previous people had not! We will hopefully be in Cornwall next year and will definitely return especially as your customer services already far surpasses the previous management. Thank you again jayne

In Sennen Cove which is a beautiful place in the day, but parking at night in the dark meant we didn't see much of the scenery until we went back next day. Parking is extra. Got into the pub for a pre-booked table and when we sat down were asked for drinks order, which wasn't delivered to the table for over 25 mins. When my wife tried to ask for some vegetables with her Venison Burger the staff said that it was impossible as you had to order something else to get the vegetables. I've never heard of this before. Normally if the restaurant does the vegetables as part of another dish it can be substituted, but alas not here. The food took a while to arrive and then the dessert was a bit quicker. Another thing to watch for is the menus appeared different online to those in the pub, which meant we were faced with options I wouldn't have chosen. (Me being really picky) When I asked for a bowl of chips so that my wife wasn't eating alone, the waiter came over and said he thought it was a mistake that someone had ordered a bowl of chips only. Nice. Wonderful area, not sure I'd go back to the pub though.

The room was beautifully presented, large window seat looking out over the glorious Sennen Cove, a fully stocked mini fridge, nespresso machine and large screen tv. The main bedroom had a beautiful bathtub with views across which when you opened the wooden shutters had uninterrupted panoramic views across the cove. The bed was incredibly comfy, me and my fiancé fell asleep within 5 minutes of laying on it. The restaurant was amazing, top quality food and super friendly staff. The accommodation team go above and beyond also. Even going as far as giving me a complimentary bottle of Prosecco to enjoy for me and my partners engagement. Just want to thank you all again for an amazing experience which only made our weekend all the more wonderful. Will definitely be visiting again!!!

Sunday lunch last Sunday, three family members. Very happy with the service and the food was as good as I remember it when my husband was a chef there way back in the 1970's!! Very generous helpings, tender meat and fresh veg. Copious portions (a pity that two size plates were not on offer maybe since I can't bear food waste) so we had enough to make a take away meal. Looking forward to going again. Three people with a drink eat and 3 ice cream with clotted cream deserts cost us about £95 I think it was. Just so you know, but that is the cost of Sunday lunch most places nowadays, and often much much more.

The atmosphere in the pub was extremely pleasant making myself and partner feel very relaxed , thoroughly enjoyed the food ( we dine out in many different places ) and this has got to be one of the best places ( in our little memory box and would definitely recommend to everyone ...) Serviced was very quick and the food when down just as quick absolutely delicious . Undecided what to drink ...and the manager ( I believe ) recommended a fruity cider again surprised just how much I enjoyed it . Thank you The staff are a really credit to the place extremely polite and friendly and they go above and beyond to make you feel very welcome . Compliments to the chef ....if we are down that way again....you bet we are heading to this pub 😁 You will be added as a hidden gem to find on my Tik Tok ..... It's a MUST DINE HERE . Thank you all on that very night that made a brilliant day turn into a brilliant evening . we were to full to have desserts , however we did and both of us left the plate clean presentation of the food was outstanding and scrumptious . Dog friendly , even dog beds and biscuits ....how adorable your not restricted if you own an animal ...albeit ours never came . 5 star all round can not fault it Lovely place on the sea front fantastic staff delicious food ...keep up the excellent work and be proud .

Booked for an overnight stay which included breakfast. The room was lovely although a little small for a double. It had all amenities required other than a hairdryer. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was good. Our only niggle was our room overlooked the pubs outside seating area, which had a speaker playing loud music until after 11 pm, fine for those who didn't want to get an early nights sleep.

I stayed at The Old Success Inn for two nights recently and it was really first class. The bedrooms were comfortable, well appointed, and clean. Menus for breakfast, lunch, & dinner provided plenty of choice and the food was excellent and beautifully presented. The staff were all friendly, polite, and helpful. I would have no hesitation in staying at The Inn again and would highly recommend it.

They do a really good roast dinner. Seating is comfortable and spacious. It’s also dog friendly. My only criticism is that whilst half of the restaurant is well-lit with a nice view of the sea, the other half is dark and dim. I felt eager to get out into the sunshine after an hour seated there.

Had food here this evening and was underwhelmed . For the cost we thought the food was average at its best. My husband had fish tail scampi but it was more breaded frozen scampi and his peas were microwaved. The burger was tasteless and chips greasy/soggy. We thought for the standard it was very expensive and wouldn’t confidently recommend this place based on food. The waitress was polite and helpful.

Went for a Sunday lunch with our Dog, the staff were super friendly and had water bowls, blankets and treats at the ready which was great. Service was really friendly and food was great. Huge portions for the roast and nice sized starters, a very nice meal and a nice looking pub.

Strange booking system. Could not even squeeze 2 people in even when the place was half empty. Turning away customers is a bad thing at anytime. We did not eat here in the end and opted for fish and chips up the road which was very good. Not sure we will attempt to eat here again. St Just has plenty of good options up the road. St Austell brewery should really take a look at the practices in this place as they are losing money one would think. I’ve eaten in many places - you are definitely not good at what you do!!

I’ve had decent experiences in the Old Success over the years so shame to leave a negative review but the service and attention to detail was sorely lacking on this visit. We were early for our booking @5 so checked in and sat in an empty dining room with large groups of flies flying around the lights. I would suggest these flies are dealt with before opening the restaurant? We eventually got a drinks (busy bar and changing shifts) not a big deal. But then considering we were an hour early we were then abandoned till 5:30 except for our booking to be repeatedly questioned which made us feel unwelcome. Food was already being served to other parties even though we had obviously been waiting the longest. In the end we walked out and went and got fish and chips which was a relief. Staff seemed nice enough as individuals but very disorganised with poor communication and no attempt at making us feel cared for or valued for our custom. I appreciate the pub has the footfall to not need to particularly care for individual bookings but it’s just an experience I won’t repeat.

Family lunch! We enjoyed the welcome and dogs enjoyed their paw station. Humorous staff who were efficient and helpful. Looking forward to visiting in low season soon.

It was our first time here. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty, although the prices were a little higher and the portions a little smaller. All in all, a good pub that is worth a visit.

Mains were perfectly nice- nothing remarkable, but better than the average pub grub. As a starter we shared the focaccia and olives which resembled sliced sandwich bread, for £9. Service was friendly but otherwise poor. Didn’t seem to be overly busy- certainly our waitress always found time to chill at the bar or look at her phone, but on multiple occasions forgot things- tap water, the one bottle of wine we ordered to share, etc. All while another member of staff seemed to be run off his feet- hosting, dealing with complaints, rushing around to clear tables. Not a great look, and we hope the tip we left was shared! Food took over an hour with no mention beforehand of a wait.

Fantastic cocktails but for an old fart like me it was freezing, you wouldnt have thought it looking at the young chaps in tight t shirts and the young ladies in belt like miniskirts and just bras but there you go. Great drinkies but really quiet for a Friday (thankfully tbh)

Ahh the Port William! I’m not a pub goer but I’m a Port William regular! Is it the most spectacular location? Or the friendly staff ? The puppachino ? The most incredible sunsets behind gull rock? The glorious tidal beach where you can delight in a walk or watch the crashing waves on a stormy night? The great variety of gin and local brews ? The delicious food served with local flare ? The fact that it’s on the Kernow coastal salt path? It might be the live music ? No .. it’s the best ever welcome from Mary Fudge !

I remembered reading great reviews on this place, so after a hard day at work, walking past the shop I decided to try it as a take away. I was so disappointed with the Katsu Veg curry. The taste was quite nice but the consistency was mush and most of it was made up of peas! Half of it in fact was peas and had the distinct reminder of school dinners.

Another couple of nice flat whites in Caffe Nero. Avoided their lovely looking cakes.
