The Liscawn Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wish we had read other reviews first! Very disappointed, outside of hotel and views lovely inside tired and dated. Greeted by a sign on the main entrance explaining to go around the back of the building and ringing to be eventually answered by a polite but rather eerie character. There was no bar on offer over the whole weekend and no dinner available as he wasn't sure if his mother had been shopping!! Unfortunately the bathroom wasn't clean and the breakfast average. On the morning of leaving we received an email to say payment had been taken and we saw no one as we left, a very odd way to run a hotel business!

This was billed as a 4* hotel and cost £140 per night. Honestly 1 or at best 2* and £60 per night would have been fairer. My friends and i would never set foot in the place again; the entrance and carpet upstairs was filthy, over flowing ash tray on the bench outside the front door. The room itself was 1960’s, the toilet was filthy and the cistern was broken. The shower in our friends room was broken but at least they had a bath as back up. The breakfast was ok but only filter coffee on offer, packaged marmalade/jams. We came back from the pub (Finnygook Inn) after an excellent dinner looking for a night cap at 9pm and the bar was closed. A terrible experience.

Had a lovely break here. Fiona and her son were very welcoming, room had everything we needed, breakfast was great and my partner’s dogs were spoilt every morning with breakfast sausages.

Think bates Motel.! This is quite the oddest place I have ever stayed in. When I arrived there was no one about, Bar was in darkness. Outdoor furniture untidily scattered around and covered in bird lime. Room was cold and no hot water from the sink tap. Electric shower. Wi Fi practically non existent. None in the room. Evening meals were poor and straight form the freezer. Breakfast was adequate.

My wife and I holidayed with our 3 children and their partners, our 4 grandchildren and 3 dogs. From the moment we arrived the owner Fiona and her wonderful sons made us extremely welcome tending to anything we needed. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The hotel is in a cracking location, minutes away from the coast and a challenging golf course. We discovered the hotel last year whilst walking the south west coastal path and thought it would make an ideal family holiday base. We were not wrong. The grounds are gorgeous with a lovely play area which the youngsters loved. Breakfast was amazing and the grandchildren loved the fact they could get what they wanted. The dogs even got a sausage every morning. Fiona and her sons are great hosts. Fiona even waved us off on our final day. We will be back in the near future.

We had a wonderful nights stay here whilst walking the coastal path. We arrived wet and bedraggled after being caught in the rain and were were so well looked after by Fiona and her family. The room was warm and comfortable and the house has a beautiful situation. It was the warmth of the welcome we received that made our stay special. This was real hospitailty of a quality you rarely find these days. . Highly recommended.

Stayed for 4 nights recently. Fiona & her team offered a very warm & friendly reception in a beautiful part of Cornwall we’d never visited before. Our dog friendly accommodation was amazing, private entrance, 4 poster for the adults & an adjoining upstairs, beautifully oak beamed attic room for our 8 yr old daughter, large with 3 single beds - great for a family of 5 plus the Dorma windows made for easy star gazing. Breakfast was lovely, fresh & local full English with good continental selection. Daughter loved the waffles & Fiona reserved a waffle just for her every morning. Our dachshund also spoilt with a sausage every morning for breakfast! The hotel grounds were also beautiful. There’s a lovely garden & large pond, with nesting mallards there at the moment. Within the grounds, there’s a great play area for kids, surrounded by nature & very secure. The Liscawn is a great central base, stunning surroundings & within 25 mins of attractions like Mount Edgecumbe, Looe, Polperro & Cawsand. The Barbican can be reached by foot ferry from Mount Edgecumbe. There’s a small beach close by, easy access. Tregantle’s large sandy Beach is a mile away, beautiful & uncrowded - down the cliff but you could get a pushchair down. A huge plus point was how dog friendly the area is, numerous restaurants & shops all welcoming pooches, our dachshund was spoilt more than the humans! We loved our stay so much we’ve booked to go back. Thank you Fiona, from the grown up’s, Milly & Molly Woofington

Stayed one night at the Liscawn and it was lovely. In particular, Fiona, the owner, was so helpful, even gave us a lift to and from the local pub as the Liscawn were unable to offer meals.

I book to stay here after reading reviews I’m every dissappionted it’s a beau full hotel the ground and surrounds are lovely but the hotel is self bar open from 6 until 9 food menu all out of the freezer . When arrived we wee early told room not ready not a problem so we thought we’d have a drink no bar not open so had to go and find somewhere after we got back room readywent up very nice but no hot water no one about to speak to ! So waited until breakfast next day told it would be sorted we came in the late afternooon still no hot water after waiting all day and.most of the night offfered anther room to shower it was called the loft ,if we wanted we could change to this room ,I went to see it and on opening the door the smell hit you very damp the room had not been tidied from the last guest rubbish everywhere and dirty beds so I said no I didn’t want to stop in here told this was all we could have so decided to stay in the first from and shower in the other just like camping.I paid good money for a holiday , on leaving 7 days later still no hot water the wasn’t great breakfast good the young girl who work ther worked hard but our room was.not cleaned for a week we asked for clean towels half way thought the week

This is perhaps the nicest place I have ever stayed! Stunning property in a beautiful location overlooking Dartmoor and run by Fiona and Anna. Just incredible!

We loved our stay at The Liscawn. Staff were attentive and friendly, with an easy check in. Our room was lovely, very clean, and with a great bathroom. Breakfast was good with lots of options available. We also had dinner at the restaurant. It was a great meal with plenty of choices on the menu.

The Liscawn is a little gem. Tucked away in a beautiful setting, the hotel is beautifully renovated and sparklingly clean. The owners are so lovely that we felt that we were visiting friends. Animals are very loved and welcomed here too. We were sad to leave.

Very clean room, and lovely spacious bathroom. Comfortable bed and very quiet, in great location Staff and owner very friendly and helpful

I highly recommend this place. Been there several times, twice for Christmas day dinner. Food is excellent.

this is a very quaint eating house with food of good qaulity we had an expertly prepared Sunday roast that was full of lasting flavour.

Now called 'Little Fox' don't try booking on line, they had no knowledge of us when we arrived. We were found a table but told we would have to order quickly as a party of eleven was coming. Waited for 20 minutes, no order taken for drinks or food. We walked out! It appears they are understaffed.

Wir kamen aufgrund der Empfehlung von TripAdvisor von Looe West in diese Gegend. Wir wären ohne TripAdvisor niemals in dieses Restaurant mit Hotel hingekommen. An einem einsamen Ort an einer kaum sichtbaren Einfahrt in eine Privatstrasse gelangt man nach 600 m durch einen dichten Wald zum Haus. Einem landestypischer Steinhaus. Wir waren nicht angemeldet und hatten auch nicht reserviert; und das an einem Samstagabend. Natürlich waren alle Tische belegt. Dennoch konnten wir Platz nehmen und unser Essen bereits aussuchen. Dann nac h nur 45 Minuten hatten wir unser Dinner auf dem Tisch. Das war sehr reichlich und lecker. Empfehlen kann ich „Catch from the Day“ oder „Surf and Turf“ letzteres serviert auf einem sehr, sehr heißen Stein. Wir werden sehr gerne wiederkommen. Wir waren mit unserer Tochter und auch unserem Hund im Lokal. Alles bestens gelaufen.

A Local watering hole which has recently been updated throughout. Excellent service, varied menu, lovely food, great ambience and viws...

My wife and myself visited this establishment on the 11th August for lunch. The restaurant is situated off the road from Torpoint to Crafthole. The setting is quiet and peaceful and if the weather is good an ideal place to sit outside. The lunchtime menu is rather limited but I easily found something that looked good. One aspect that I did not go much on was that the presentation was rather "cheffie" ie slates with swirls of mayo on them instead of proper plates, but saying that the food was good and it was hot. The crab fritters are spot on. This place is not cheap but you pay for what you get, better than some places in the area. All in all I liked it and will return. P.S. it is also dog friendly

Este establecimiento ha cambiado de manos ahora es el pequeño zorro. La comida era deliciosa y el ambiente era agradable y relajante. La comida es un poco cara y las porciones son bastante pequeñas, pero en general la experiencia fue excelente.

Check out my review of this by its new name....I for one think all the changes will be its success....go try for yourself...I know you will be glad you did. Food was mouth wateringly good.

A beautiful roast turkey meal just before chrimbo.excellent as usual,well done to chef and brigade.was last meal under the Liscawn banner,as new look and branding coming early 2017.wishing all a successful and happy new year.

This will be an accurate review of the restaurant and service. The brewery used seems to be Sharps so the choice of lager was limited and three of the party opted for sharps pilsner which was expensive and the strangest ever tasted ( it had a taste similar to fairy liquid ( not that we regularly drink fairy liquid but I think you have the idea. Now on to the dinner. The starters were faultless but the duck main course was over cooked with soggy skin which should of course have been crispy. nothing that it was served with really complimented the dish so poor marks for that. The wine cost £19.95 which was expensive for a cheap Australian shiraz. Now to the dessert. The crème brulee was good but the so called orange chocolate browny clearly was missing the orange flavour as it appeared to be a bought in bog standard desert ( dry and dense ) When this was bought to the attention of the waitress she actually argued that the chef would not have forgotten to add orange to the mixture even though the four of us had tasted it. Though I was not looking for a discount after complaining about the mains and dessert it would have been a nice gesture to have removed the cost of the wine from the bill which would have cost the restaurant a miniscule amount and we would have considered a return visit but that is very unlikely now.

Lo fantástico, la comida es increíble, la decoración es preciosa y el personal es muy amable y servicial. El precio de nuestra comida era mucho menos de lo que esperábamos, debido a la calidad. Ojalá nos hubiéramos encontrado antes en nuestras vacaciones.

Visitamos el restaurante dos noches en una fila para comer. Tanto el mundo en nuestro grupo disfrutamos de su comida. El menú era ligeramente diferente cada noche. Tuve el salmón en ambas ocasiones como me gustó tanto la primera vez. El servicio era bueno y los precios son razonables. La ubicación es preciosa y lejos de las carreteras principales en una callejuela tranquila. No había mucha gente cuando estuvimos allí durante la semana a finales de septiembre. La propiedad también incluye un pequeño hotel. Sin duda volveremos cuando esté en la zona.

Sin duda debe llamar aquí cuando el sudeste de Cornwall encantador entorno agradable hotel pequeño. El personal es absolutamente fabuloso era excelente servicio atento en nuestra visita Noche tranquila pero beautulifully equilibrada. Pequeña selección fuera la carta pero ahora es fuera de temporada turística, así que se espera. Fuimos para champiñones con ajo, con pan tostado... muy rico. Steak & venado pastel individual con puré y verduras para niños lectores fue una vaca de tamaño dan tarta desesperado!!!!! Absolutamente scrumshous con salsa de leche en miniatura churn muy agradable. Terminamos con la tarta au citreon & kellys helado y un café Tía María.Gracias Señoras volveremos

Llegamos allí. 9:00 pm. Y el lugar estaba en completo. El propietario dijo que no había problema si estábamos. Bien que esperar. 40 para nuestras comidas. As. Me dijo que estaba reservado. Casi a rebosar. No fue un problema. A esperar como comida. Era increíble. Y. Caliente. Yo lo haría. Decir. Visita si puedes. Sólo un pequeño inconveniente. Es de principal bajando un escalón. Hill. Aunque hay muchas plazas de aparcamiento.

Excellent lunch and a nice pint of beer, dog friendly. Stuff very good. A pleasant experience overall.

Stopped for a mid morning cup of tea. Helpful, friendly staff. Lovely setting and lots of seating outside for when the weather is warm. Plus a bowl of water for 'waggy tails'!

Man findet eine vielfältige Auswahl an Speisen, nicht ganz billig (aber wo ist das schon in England) aber für die Qualität nicht überteuert. Alles was wir gegessen haben war reichhaltig und lecker.

Whilst travelling in Whitsands Bay area, remembered the Liscawn Restaurant. I had been there by chance many years before and remembered it well. The intervening years have not lessened the Liscawn experience.Great location and views, friendly service and very good food. I had the Lamb, it was very well cooked, tender and tasty. Well presented dish.Well worth a visit.

We had a lovely meal. Friendly staff. We only ate here one night though as we wanted to go and view other places in surrounding areas. I would eat here again. Children friendly, big plus.

We went to the Liscawn Hotel a couple of times to eat when we were staying in Portwrinkle. It has a lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. We will certainly be going again when we are next in Portwrinkle.

I've deliberated over writing this for a couple of days as I wanted to be as honest as possible. Table for 6 was booked earlier that Sunday morning for 6pm. When we arrive we were greeted and shown to the table. The table wasn't dressed unlike all the others. No cutlery, napkins or menus. It took a while for the menus to arrive to the point where we almost asked for them. Sounds really minor but you'd expect a basic level service. We then had to prompt the staff that we would like to order drinks. Two of us ordered starters and we had to ask for napkins. No service check to see if all was ok while we ate. We then waited just over an hour for the mains. Again no hint from anyone that it would take a while and again we had to call the waitress over to ask for more drinks. With only around 10 other customers you'd expect some kind of check? (They've been looking for staff since June....how long does it take?). It honestly felt we were in some parallel universe as we could see other guests were being looked after in the other part of the restaurant. One of our group complained about how long it took to get the mains and the chap made some comments and got quite defensive "as he'd been up since 6am". Well, it's a cruel world but not the customers problem. There was a service check while we were eating the main course so thumbs up there.The food - pretty good actually and cooked fresh to order and possibly killed to order given the time it took!. It was well-presented and tasty. Some guests had the burgers which looked awesome and pretty substantial. I had the chilli and can I suggest maybe a little more than 4 table spoons worth if you're going to charge £10+ Good to see Gluten free alternatives/optionsIt's a lovely setting and decorated really well. Would I go again. Sadly... probably not as I'm one for giving a place a second chance but when the guy got stroppy about being up all day then unfortunately that blew it. I would suggest to anyone to look at all the comments though and give the place a try as we all have bad days lol. I might go back in a year or so.

What a great pub and restaurant. The food is freshly cooked to order and really tasty. The owner and staff. Are really friendly and make you very welcome. Very good value for money. We came away very satisfied and would defiantly go back. Great views. Dogs also welcome, which was good for us. If you looking for something in this area I throughly recommend you try this place .

First choice near the cottage we stayed in. Not too many customers about which was a little concerning. However not to worry, the food & service was great , not cheap but worth every penny. What's more they positively welcome our four legged friends inside - dogs not horses !

Nice location. We booked in advance although it was surprisingly quiet and we had a good table in the window overlooking a nice countryside view. Staff were young but friendly and efficient. My crab and lobster burger was nice enough but others in our party made better choices. Nice beer too. No complaints.

I came here, on Wednesday night, with a couple of close friends, for a meal. we all had 3 courses and all enjoyed our meals immensely. my cauliflower and stilton soup was absolutely gorgeous as was the very scrummy bread and butter pudding. the actual location, inside and out, is lovely and the staff were really friendly and attentive, a great night out!

The restaurant at the Liscawn Hotel is very good , a varied and interesting menu and the quality of the food is excellent and well priced.

Flott sted med egen lekepark for barn. God mat og hyggelig personale. Sjarmerende sted i lekre omgivelser. Tilbyr også overnatting, og anbefales absolutt over Whitsand Bay Hotel om du vil besøke idylliske Crafthole.

We visited last week a group of eight for our mums birthday .The restaurant itself is beautifully presented and the perfect balance of old world charm and modern comfort.Between the 8 of us and several courses we tried pretty much the whole menu and the food was faultless .On top of this the staff were attentive , friendly and professional .I just wished I lived near by as I would make this place my regular .

Excellent well presented good food served by friendly staff. Great for evening meals and good breakfast.Pleasant eating area with a great view from some of the tables.Would recommend anytime.

Has been modernised significantly since we last visited. I wouldn't visit again. Only very minimal staff who were more interested in chatting at the bar than serving customers. We waited ages for food and drinks and to get the bill so it all felt very drawn out and we won't visit again. It's a shame as it used to be our place to go twice every holiday with large groups of us. This time there were 8 of us and we were not impressed. Food was good but quite limited selection and the slowness made it missable! Lovely location but the new owners need to rethink their organisation and attention to detail to retain loyal customers

After having a really good experience on our initial visit and leaving a very good review to say so, we returned today for Sunday lunch with family. What a different experience!On arrival it was obvious that it was busy and that the staff were pushed. We waited at the bar and were then pointed in the direction of our table. We then waited a long time to be asked if we would like a drink and eventually my Daughter went up and stood at the bar to order, as nobody came to our table. When we got our drinks the two pints of lager shandy were warm so my husband asked if his could be changed, which it was, however it wasn't any colder. The menu choice was roast or al a carte. We were told there was no roast beef but that there was roast pork, which my husband then ordered. On ordering we were questioned as to whom had told us there was roast pork as there wasn't any. My husband went to the bar to look at the menu again, the owner came out at this point and stated that 'there was no roast pork, they never have roast pork'! Cordial customer service would not have gone amis at this point. When our food came, the two stilton and peppered mushroom suet crust puddings were served with veg and frozen chips on the side. There was no gravy or sauce of any kind so the dish was extremely dry. I hoped that when I cut into the pudding there would be enough gravy within it to rectify this, however sadly not. We asked for extra gravy, which we were given. Sadly it didn't end here, the veg was virtually raw, not al dente, raw! The waitress came over and asked if our meals were OK, I deliberately didn't answer as I did not want to cause any more fuss or add to the discomfort that we were already feeling. When we got our bill the same waitress asked if we had enjoyed our meals and asked us to be honest, so I told her the issues with mine. She then said that she had asked us if everything was OK whilst we were eating and I pointed out that I had in fact not answered her. My husband said that his drink was warm and she said that this had been rectified for him, which he explained actually had not, due to the new drink still being warm. She then said that nobody else had complained about anything but that she would call the boss, I said not to bother, we would just pay our bill and leave. We paid and she did leave us whilst the card was going through the machine and then the boss appeared. He stood behind the bar when we left but did not say anything and I'm afraid his persona was apathetic and uninspiring, sadly rather like our experience at the Liscawn today.

We booked this restaurant on bank holiday Monday for a party of 9. Having been told they were busy we had to have an early 530 slot arrived to find only two other people sitting in the restaurant and only another 9 people turned up after us for food!! The meal I had was steak at £16.95 which came on a hot slab so you could continue to cook yourself. The chips were cheap frozen chips not hand cut like you would expect in a place like this and the steak was certainly not the best. However the starters and puddings that came were all good and were enjoyed by everyone who ordered them. Nice setting but take the gimmick away from the steak on a slab and do hand cut chips then it would be perfect

The owners/manager could not be more helpful! Thoughtful menus with all food cooked from scratch even to making their own pastaThey are also willing to adjust a meal to suit personal preferences.The view over the valley is lovely and the decor is modern and welcoming Thoroughly recommend!

Stayed the weekend at this beautiful place Family of 14 on the fri nite and we all had food All different and all meals looked and tasted great Presented very well at at reasonable pricesWe were aware that they are a family small run unit and they couldn't get all food out at same time but they tried to serve us all as soon as they could and anyone who is honest would rather have to wait that bit longer for hot fresh food rather than it all coming out at the same time and half of the meals being sat under a hot plate drying out ! Im a cook in a care home trying to get out 30 meals out at same time whilst staying hot it's no easy job and I only offer 3 choices x so I do have more patience then some xxx but for a big crowd ordering at same time they did really well xxxPolite friendly service and bar prices reasonable for its settings x Have left separate review for my daughters wedding so anyone thinking down those lines please view xxxMany thanks once again liscawn xxx

English food. Not high (French) cuisine but very OK and at a fair rate. The quality and quantity are sufficient for hungry wanderers of the South West Coast Path. The winelist is small but OK as well. The service is friendly but not too professional.

We visit this restaurant while golfing nearby yearly. The food is good with a more extensive menu than it used to have a couple of years ago. Clean and big enough to cater for a party of 15 (we had pre booked) The food is very old and obviously freshly cooked and prepared. Service is also good. Give it was try, you won't be disappointed.

Visited with a group of friends for a bite to eat after a walk on the beach. The whole building was fresh, clean and beautifully decorated, which was very inviting. The table we were given had a fantastic view out over the valley. The food was fantastic (would recommend the chorizo and beef burger), and the salted fudge cake was incredibly good. So many more items on the menu that I need to return and try!

Arranged at only a day's notice for a film crew, Steve & Lynn put together a wonderful set menu to choose from, everything was delicious. Own seating area for the group and excellent service.

A warm welcome met us when we recently stayed for a few days with my 91 year old mum. The menu was interesting, a change from the norm, with dishes to suit all tastes. The mussels were large and delicious. We particularly enjoyed some of the spicy choices. Rather than desert, I decided on coffee and canoli. I would return just for that delicious treat. And as we were residents there was an opportunity to enjoy the excellent wine too.

As a genuine local of more than 30 years I felt I had to respond to the review recently written by hector from St John who tried to insinuate that 'the locals, do not visit the Liscawn. I was incensed when I read the comments. When the previous owners had the hotel it was empty most nights of the year with a very limited menu which never changed. Since the current owners have taken over they have strived tirelessly to modernise the whole hotel from individualising each room to creating the now beautiful warm and welcoming bar and lounge area. We are a mature couple who have both travelled extensively and we have eaten in many top restaurants and we consider the food at the Liscawn to be equal to and in some cases better than the majority of these. We have taken numerous friends and family to eat here and they have all been of the same mind - fantastic food beautifully presented, lovely relaxing atmosphere. We visit the hotel on average three times a week and always see lots of 'real locals' enjoying themselves. I can only assume from the tone of Hector's review that he/she has some self interest by writing such a vitriolic account of their visit. As for the children's play area it is true that food is not served in this area but there are plenty of other places to sit in the sun outside the main building where you can enjoy your meal. I have to say it takes some believing to think that anyone would want to remain in an area covered in dog faeces to have their lunch drawing into question once again the truth behind the comments. Please go to the Liscawn and judge for yourself I am confident you will not be disappointed. Please don't accept that this person speaks for many of us who are genuine locals and eat and drink at the Liscawn on a regular basis!

We enjoyed a evening meal with friends in this great location. The food was tasty, hot and a good choice of menu. Also good choice for vegetarians. The service was good and we will be returning again soon

Popped in here for lunch after discovering the Whitsand Hotel stopped serving lunch at 2pm. We were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and engaging and the food was delicious. Will visit again

The Liscawn, I am pleased to say is our local. Recently refurbished and very welcoming. Stunning views, delicious menus, plenty of local ales, well worth a visit for lunch dinner or just a beer or coffee to admire the view. Steve and co, thank you, keep up the great work!

The wife took me here for a treat and we weren't disappointed. Driven past it loads of times but always thought it was out of our price range but were pleasantly surprised. What an absolutely lovely place, food was first class, atmosphere spot on and the two waitresses charming and attentive. Very reasonable on price as well and the lunch time menu looks very appealing as well. Will Defo be back.

Lovely meal due to my dietary needs staff went out of their way to accommodate me. I would highly recommend this restaurant which is in a lovely setting , and the staff are professional , friendly and extremely helpful. I will be frequenting this establishment again .

A group of 5 of us enjoyed a lovely meal last evening. We made various meal choices between us and we were well impressed with all of the food - particularly the garlic mushrooms. The owner and waitress were very pleasant and friendly. The only slight downside with the visit was the "smeechy" atmosphere caused by the sizzling meals ordered by other diners.The meals looked superb - and I'm sure they would have tasted great as well - but it's a shame that the low ceilings and apparent lack of extractor fans meant the air was somewhat unpleasant to breathe in. Nevertheless we will definitely go back.

This was our 2nd visit to this fantastic pub/restaurant! We found it last year, and what a find! Brilliant food, very friendly owner, who was so helpful! We would highly recommend this pub in its wonderful secluded location in every way! Will be paying a visit next year when we are back in the area! Thanks

A very attractive pub in a pleasant & secluded location.Ideal for a quite drink or a meal.We visited after a funeral for a very nice meal with drinks in extremely pleasant & very well decorated contemporary surroundings.Well worth a visit!

A large group of us booked a table for lunch. We were so cold the kind barman provided us with blankets but we had to sit in our coats as well, although the heating had apparently been on since 7am. It was not a cold day.My Thai prawns were simply battered prawns with a dipping sauce that seemed to have come out of a bottle and were served on tired lettuce that was brown at the edges. My vegetable curry wasn't remotely spicey but the plain rice had been sprinkled with chilli flakes which was a bit odd. Others in the group had very ordinary meals but the ham, egg and chips seemed OK.The barman gave us excellent, kind service and the view down the valley was lovely, but I will not be going back!

The food and service was good. We went on a quiet day and the staff were friendly.The atmosphere and appearance is a little unexpected inside. It seems to look like a corporate venue whereas from the outside it looks like a charming country pub. A bit disappointing considering the location as it could have been in any big city.The food looks home made and the specials were great.

We went to the Liscawn Hotel for our works Xmas Dinner last night. It was absolutely delicious, probably one of the lovliest Christmas Dinners I have had in a long time. The gravy I could have eaten straight from the jug with a spoon! Thank you to the very attentive and friendly staff and I will be highly recommending this restaurant to friends and family and will advise them to bring their spoon for the gravy!

Stayed here while viewing nearby Polhawn Fort as a potential wedding venue.Cosy room with a lovely view. Ate dinner which was good pub grub. Staff were super friendly particularly our waitress.The local area is quite quiet at this time of year, out of season.Leaving v early in the morning tomorrow & owner is kindly making us breakfast baps for the road.

New chef is carrying on fantastic food,roast beef top notch and renovation coming along nicely.Steve and Gaynor are really doing a great job and anybody who hasn't tried the menu yet are missing out.Warm and friendly welcome always assured.

went to the Liscawn tonight for my mothers birthday meal all I can say is what a fantastic evening. I took a cake and candles and asked if they would mind bringing it out after the main course. I was happy to have it served in the carrier but they went above and beyond and put it on a glass cake stand and made my mothers evening. The food cannot be beaten in my opinion, I had the sizzle steak that comes to the table on a hot stone so you have the perfect steak for your own taste fantastic idea. Everyone enjoyed whatever meal they chose it was all fresh perfectly cooked and more then enough. It is a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the hosts and staff are really friendly would recommend to everyone and very reasonable and on our doorstep lucky us.

Really fabulous dinner, obviously run and staffed by people who care, would definitely highly recommend it.

The service was very good on arrival, welcoming and friendly. However the food, there was a bit of a wait for what we ordered and my dish came 5 minutes before my partners. I had the satay chicken witch was very bland and obviously cold because I didn't want to eat alone. My partners food finally showed up, which mushroom and Stilton pudding with 10% filling and 99% air.

Arrived for lunch on Saturday, very quiet but pleasant, food very good, we were the only people in the bar/restaurant but then a group of six arrived and sat right next to us with a child who proceeded to cry all through the meal, is it too much to ask to just have a quiet meal!!! The food and drink were very good but I'm realizing why I don't eat out much anymore in this area, I know it isn't the pubs fault but people are just so inconsiderate nowadays!

Went for sunday lunch,the boss had roast beef and I had hunters chicken.Top class taste as usual,as we have said before,the food is cooked to order and is always spot on,if you are looking for somewhere different to eat out,then give them a try.Steve and Gaynor would be happy to see you.

I booked in several members of my family and myself into this hotel as it is close to HMS Raleigh. We stayed for just the Thursday night. The meals were reasonably priced and very good. None of my group of nine had any complaints or issues. Breakfast was also really good with a great selection of continental and full English. One minor - no black pudding. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Luogo ideale per vivere da vicino la vera Cornovaglia, immersi nel verde e nella tranquillità con una buona cucina locale-

I am glad the Liscawn has new management - it has definitely improved on the last time I visited.- Food was well presented.. maybe a little over-priced. Larger portions would be nicer please :)- Impressive that there was a really, really local ale - Crafthole Ale on tap...I am sure the restaurant experience is far better when there are more people, but my experience was just a little dreary. There weren't enough people dining or drinking! It was a bit like eating at home, just not having to do it yourself.

We were staying at the Liscawn so decided to eat here as well. The food was good but fairly straight forward. Most of the dishes came with chips so I was grateful that there was a different selection on the specials board.

We stayed the night and had lunch and dinner. One room was very nice while the second room we booked was in need of a update desperately. But the hotel is fog friendly which is a big plus. Food is pub grub standard. Service is average but they do try very hard, this is a small hotel so you need to remember the cannot have the same level staffing as a big hotel.

Just had a meal at liscawn as staying in area and local was fully booked sadly, as this is excellent ( finnygook inn). Kids had to share a starter, as there was only one portion available. camembert starter had missing camembert! Drinks not refilled between courses by waitress. main meal only had one Salmon portion available, despite the fact i asked prior to ordering if they didnt have any dishes on the menu. Everything was available to order apparently prior to ordering. the waiter commented on how dark our table was but didnt think to light the lovely candles that were on the table. The dishes served on sizzzling platter didnt follow with further plates to eat off the sizzling platter!! All in all it was a complete shambles and the male waiter just blamed the owner who had apparently gone away and left everything to go to pot! wont return sadly but recommend finnygook inn for excellent service and food.

awful service and average food with little compensation or apology for disappointing family night out

This is by far the best place I've been to this summer .The food was great . The staff where very friendly and it was very homely and I loved the play area . I recommend this place .

We called here and booked a table and we were advised that there would be a wait for food, which we agreed to and decided we would still try. But we absolutely did the right thing! We were advised again on attending there may be a wait, but the atmosphere was good and we actually didnt have to wait that long. Both my partner and I had the burger, which was delicious! and you could tell it was homemade and great quality. The chips were also delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the two gentlemen serving were very polite and helpful. Brilliant food and service and we will be back again! Thank you!!

We booked a meal here recently for a large party with young children. The food was excellent, very reasonably priced & nicely presented. The staff were very friendly, helpful & accommodating and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to dine with family/friends.

Stayed two nights in the room with a four poster bed as no other rooms available. Friends stayed one night in a room in the barn conversion and enjoyed their stay. I felt it was a bit overpriced as the four poster bed was literally that, no drapes, nothing special. The bed squeaked as you sat on it which interrupted any intention to sleep, and the room itself didn't have any thing special over other hotels/rooms I have stayed at.The breakfast was nicely cooked, but service was a bit slow. There was not a full choice of alternatives if you didn't want a cooked breakfast - toast, cereal, yoghurt - this needs to be expanded to consider croissants/breakfast pastries.On checkout our problem with the bedroom was reflected in the bill and the manager said he would look into our complaint immediately as no one else had raised the query of a squeaking mattress before...maybe out of embarrassment?!As the manager said it was 'work in progress' on getting the property up to the standard he wanted, as he had only had it about 18 months, and we will be visiting our friends again soon, I will go back again to see what has improved.

Our first visit to The Liscawn yesterday for dinner after passing the sign on the main road numerous times and wondering what it would be like. We did a bit of homework on the Internet and it all looked very favourable and affordable, and was the case very much last evening when we spent a couple of hours there. Warm and friendly atmosphere, several people dining and we were made to feel very welcome by the Manager, a very pleasant chap. A little wait for food but would rather that and have it the way it should be as our meals were delicious. Homemade beefburger with amazing onion rings and superbly presented and the bubble and squeak mixed with shredded cabbage and onion with sausages and the most tastiest of gravy made for a pretty special meal out for us. Thank you. Enjoyed reading so many refreshing and complimentary reviews on here and am happy to add ours too now. We will be back very soon and feel it may be a regular stop for us as we pass by often.

Was recommended this hotel restaurant by a local friend. Debbie and I were not disappointed. The Malaysian Lamb Curry was on the specials board ... It was fantastic, so good I just had to write this review whilst still here.Lovely setting and great service too.

Overall the food was good, the chicken with the hunters chicken was thick and large BUT was very tough and chewy so it was left. This was taken off of the bill straight away by staff. Very pleasant building and gardens. Staff friendly and attentive. Would come again.

Discovered this by accident when staying in South Cornwall, had one great meal and returned two days later for another one. Friendly atmosphere, beautiful surroundings and view. Can recommend the garlic mushrooms, calamari, pesto cod, hunters chicken...... Will certainly return next time in the area.

I've been to dine at the Liscawn on more than one occasion, and called in on spring and summer days to have a drink outside in their covered seating area. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, with a smile and exchange of pleasantries. The menu has enough variation to suit most, if not all, palates and I can assure you it's well cooked and very tasty. Plenty on the plate for those with big appetites.Prices are average; on one occasion last summer I paid £110 thereabouts for 3 of the group to have starters and pudding, while all 5 of us had mains, and drinks. In my eyes that's good value. It's clean, not overly fussy, and children are welcome. If you don't want to eat then sitting outside on a warm day with a drink (cold or hot) and watching the abundant wildlife that thrive in the valley, is nothing short of a pleasure. If you're lucky you might see the baby swallows that we saw in the nest in the roof.Give it a try.

I have had two wonderful meals at The Liscawn this week, the first was the seafood pancakes served with salad which were out of this world, the second pork medallions with leek and potato mash, green beans and Apple sauce, I can highly recommend both of these dishes, along with the staff who can't do enough for you. I will be back very soon.

Visited The Liscawn Inn with my hubby and little man for dinner on a beautiful sunny evening. The food really was some of the best we have eaten out in quite some time... but... the only seats placed in the sunshine were by the play park and the other outside seats, under the veranda were covered in bird crap so we opted to eat indoors. We were the only people in the place and the only atmosphere was the caterwauling from the kareoke in the other room. My little man got a fit of the giggles at the noise! Thankfully the noise subsided and the barman/landlord put some background music on to create some much needed ambiance. Service was friendly and efficient, food really was lovely... but...

We went to The Liscawn after reading positive reviews and I'm happy to say it was fantastic ! The prawns were very fresh and even the garlic bread which came with them was perfect! My boyfriend had the gourmet burger which is made which a good amount of chorizo which he really enjoyed and I had the pulled bork sandwich which was a special which was also cooked perfectly. The portion sizes are extremely good value for money as both meal only cost around £9 neither of us could finish everything so they kindly wrapped it up for me so I could take it home. My boyfriend also asked if they could make some caramelised onions for his burger which they kindly added with no extra cost. We had a lovely evening and will definitely be visiting again!!

Had an excellent roast lunch here yesterday. Very good service and calm, relaxing atmosphere with beautiful views - will definitely be back!!

what a truly wonderful place we found today. Luckily we saw the sign on the main road saying good food served all day, en-route to Mount Edgcumbe House, and resolved to stop for late lunch on the way back.So pleased that we did. The hotel restaurant was delightful. The setting, and the views were wonderful. The staff were very welcoming, and served a fabulous Sunday Roast and desserts. I was blown away to find my favourite Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (Frost Pocket) on the wine list. What a find. I cannot recommend highly enough. Go try it. I'm sure you will love it too.

Stumbled upon this little gem of a place. Warm friendly welcome. Great real ales superb food at reasonable prices. An overall lovely experience will return.

This restaurant has changed hands and the place is a gem. We, a group of golfers arrived unannounced and were made most welcome but told there could be an hours wait. It was worth it and we revisited again with half of our original party of 12 only for the owners to prove the previous high standard of welcome and food was a constant. Superb food, a really friendly welcome and excellent service all at a reasonable price. I intend to return and try the accommodation as well

Prebooked table for 3 (Saturday evening meal) A great welcome by the manager, The Liscawn Inn setting was perfect, well maintained grounds in beautiful woodland setting,ambience brilliant, service was outstanding (thank you Sara Jane!!) - and the food was simply outstanding (starters of soup and crab fish cakes) and three different mains. Great evening - and great value for money - we will be back for sure!!!!!

I was surprised with a birthday meal on Sunday here, and I have to say it was lovely. I had the Calamari to start which was really tasty, followed by the Roast Beef which I have to say was one of the best I have eaten in a long time and so much of it....I also had a taste of my daughters Garlic Mushrooms and they with the bread were really good too. I just wish I had had room for a dessert, next time though :-).The setting of the Inn, is lovely with a great outdoor seating area, just a shame it wasnt a bit warmer, the blankets provided though are a great touch. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful too which I like.We will be visiting again and soon I hope.

Been back to our favourite eating place on friday gone.We had a steak sizzler and a salmon sizzler.Two empty plates and stones says it all.As i posted on facebook,if you would like a local friendly place for a meal,then give them a try.The family are really welcoming,and we have never had any complaints.

I recently attended a dinner party for 20 plus people and have to say that the overall experience was very good. However I have never been to a restaurant as part of a large party where the manager has asked the guests if everything is ok etc. He was very noticeable by his absence this was noticed by other at the event. This was noticed by others at the party and others who have attended previous events have noticed this is normal. The manager and his wife and keen to take the cash but fail on front of house skills. They need to learn that a reputation is based on more than the quality of the food.

We went for a celebration meal for my friend's 65th birthday. The meal was superb, all freshly cooked and served together. My husband had the steak on a hot rock which was excellent and I had deep fried camembert with fresh salad and chicken to follow, super. All my friends were delighted with their food and the service was exceptional. We will definitely go there again.

A lovely location , superb food 10 went to eat on Saturday 13 th December for my Birthday could not have asked for better service and the food was great and to get all 10 of us to all agree on both is a firsts , as we all live in Millbrook we will definitely be going again and recommending it to all our friends , nice to have a lovely place to eat in the area
