“Shearings 5 day break”

Reviewed 26 May 2013

Room was ok. Stayed here before approx. 6 years ago. Clean room, small shower & toilet, but sufficient for 2 people. Only thing to 'moan about' was the bed! Clean linen etc, but bed was so uncomfortable and creaked every time you moved. Staff were friendly and helpful. Dining room was very cramped. We were at a table for 4... More

I will pass on the comments to the chefs regarding the soup, generally speaking people are happy with them and the other items on the menu, the salads as you say are huge and do take some getting through.

“Good value for money”

Reviewed 20 May 2013

Went with Shearings for a 5 day break. Decor in bedrooms and corridors rather tired, but dining room pleasant enough. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Food good, especially considering it was mass catering (3 coaches plus private individuals), quickly served by hard working young foreign staff. Well done kitchen staff. Bed clean and very comfy. A 5 minute walk... More

“Freezing! Noisy floorboards from above kept me awake.”

Stayed in May, no heating on and first room I was put in smelt damp. Had to pay for upgrade but room still freezing. Given tiny heater on complaining but this had little effect. Ladies on reception lovely.

The weather here in May has certainly cheered up from the winter months. We have had the heating on timed so that it warms the rooms for the morning and evenings. The first room allocated was a good size single and the upgrade that you had was for a twin sea view so hopefully you enjoyed the sea view. The... More

Our regular drivers are a font of local knowledge which they like to share with their passengers so that they can enjoy the delights of Cornwall, it appears from what you are saying that this was not the case in this instance.
