Bowl Inn

Such a welcoming place to stay enroute from Newcastle to St Mawes after our sons graduation at Newcastle Uni. Megan couldn’t have been more kind, helpful, accommodating or efficient. Delicious supper in a friendly local ambience. Megan is a star.

7 of us came in for breakfast, very rude service, gave us dirty looks like we werent meant to be there, was sarcastic and was scowling at us the whole time. Ended up ordering one drink for the group and we asked if we could pay for the drinks and the bar staff said “thats kind of the point” Not really a very warm welcome like the sign says.

Pretty country pub in a little village. We opted for a signature plus room and stayed for 2 nights. Not the warmest welcome on arrival from the young gentleman who I felt gave no eye contact and was a little aloof but he did improve throughout our stay and was quite pleasant by the end. The room was as expected from a country pub, with a stone wall and low beamed ceiling. King size bed very comfy. Felt the big dusty artificial plant could’ve been replaced with another chair so we didn’t have to always sit on the bed. Slight lack of attention to detail with curtain rings missing and it was a bit dusty. Our room was at the front and we stayed mid week so it was relatively quiet but I can imagine on a weekend it could be quite noisy from the outside tables just under the window. Parking was free as long as you registered your car details on a small tablet inside the bar. The bathroom was adequate. The shower cubicle was a standard square size but felt restricted as folding door kept popping open limiting space even more. Toiletries were provided but had not been refilled so were half empty. Lovely big fluffy bath towels. Breakfast was very good with a varied choice and quick service.
