A gorgeously quirky historic building overlooking the bustling harbour with a cracking bar, St Austell ales, superb food and stylish rooms

This handsome inn is a most comfortable and welcoming place to stay with fine oil paintings, antique furniture, and a buzzing atmosphere. Two bar areas downstairs are informal spaces for a morning coffee with cakes and croissants, or a pint of hand-pulled ale and a sandwich or lighter dish at lunch. The upstairs dining room is away from the hubbub and has wonderful views over the harbour. A seasonal menu includes elevated pub classics and daily specials and there's a private dining space too.

Bedrooms are spread across the three upper floors, some with gorgeous views, all with well-dressed beds, lager, beers and snacks, along with proper coffee machines; bathrooms sparkle with Cornish Land & Water soaps and lotions. Wake to a fine breakfast, book in if you want Sunday lunch – this place is popular with locals.

Walks and hikes on Dartmoor are legendary and will blow away any cobwebs – return to a hot shower and an excellent dinner.
