Website

This former mine captain's house tucked away on Bodmin Moor, to the east of Caradon Hill, is reached by moorland track. Now an upland hotel with 8 ensuite rooms, 2 chalets and 8 glamping pods, it claims to be the highest in Cornwall, affording panoramic views to both Cornish coasts and Dartmoor. It has a cosy small bar, popular with locals and visitors, with a separate dining area offering 'proper' home-cooked food, which is served daily. Sunday meals include roast dinners as well as the regular menu. Since changing hands in 2021 the pub has been undergoing extensive renovations to improve the site.
