Outstanding place to stay. Food, service, beer all very good. This is a gastro pub and i believe it came second in the country recently which speaks highly of the staff and place I was very impressed with the food.

The parking is reserved for guests behind the pub and easy to access. The room we stayed in was very well decorated and clean, the bed was huge, and all the staff were super friendly. Also, the included breakfast was very well presented and great! I came down to visit some friends. Safe to say, I’ll be booking the Cornish arms for every visit.

Incredible place. The food is unbelievable. The service is the same. My room was slightly on the smaller side but it was furnished beautifully and it was completely spotless. I was in the area for work but I would take a holiday to tavistock just to stay and eat here. Incredible

Stylish hotel

From the outside the Cornish Arms looks just like a local pub, but step inside and you instantly know it is anything but. It is very stylish indeed. Our room which was their standard double room,was very chic and we loved all the furnishings and attention to detail.It had a king size bed with high quality linen and was so comfy. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and breakfast too.

Friendly and helpful welcome. Quick checkin. Lovely room which looks like it’s had a fairly recent renovation. The breakfast service was excellent, as was the breakfast. My wife and I will stay again in the future. We would definitely recommend The Cornish Arms.

Overpriced and underwhelming

Our room was comfortable and tastefully decorated if a little small and without the minibar fridge that is mentioned in room facilities. Also very noisy street outside so ask for a rear facing room. Whilst the food is delicious, £28.50 for one filet of pan fried bream served without any significant vegetables is not good value for money especially when a very small portion of chips cost £5.95! The overall attitude of the waiting staff both at dinner and breakfast was at best indifferent! Sadly other than the lady who checked us in, it seems nobody else had the ability to smile or display any welcoming traits!

Cornish Arms stay

Lovely room, excellent food. However they supply earplugs for a reason. If you are a light sleeper you may suffer from the music from the nearby night club or the revellers in the street. Everything else is excellent.

Nice place but food expensive

Very nice staff at the bar and housecleaning. Hotel very clean and well presented. Bed was very hard and the room was over the kitchen air vent so had smells of cooking if you opened the window. Food is very expensive and not competitive with surrounding establishments.

A pub with rooms does NOT cover the Cornish Arms - it is very friendly, good atmosphere and location, but the rooms are spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very good value for money. Great facilities, great food, great staff. We will certainly stay here again!
