Visiting my parents locally - I live in Australia - this place is in a fantastic location with really good local beer (Sharpes). If you want some fantastic views whilst enjoying basic good food and local beer, and maybe even interrupt for a lovely walk, this is the place to be.

We have just stayed for one night. The owners were fantastic and so accommodating. My children were asked if they would like to help feed the animals which they really enjoyed. The food was great and the apple pie was to die for. Lovely walks nearby with stunning views. One night was not enough will definitely return and have already... More

Just stayed the one night and would have liked to stay longer because the location is fabulous and the views are stunning. The owners are delightful, relaxed, funny and interested in their guests. In the bar locals chat in a friendly way with guests. We dont usually eat meat but asked for recommendations for the meal and had the most... More

Met the new owners on arrival for our second stay on top of Bodmin. Have no problem in recommending Wheal Tor for its excellent location, friendliness and food.Great spot to stay for East Cornwall, central between coasts and quick access to the main route for the West of the county.

Extremely hospitable owners, really went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Obviously the rooms need a serious upgrade, but the owners have only just taken over. This place will be great once the refurb has taken place.

Cosy bar, attentive staff, barman was a great character :) Very enjoyable afternoon, topped by the landlady coming out unexpectedly with a... More

The cleanliness was way below expectations ie mould behind cabinets and bathroom floor dirty and bathroom Mirror not cleaned. The double bed was 2 singles pushed together... More

Although I didnt stay here I must comment on their reaction to my cancellation. I had to cancel about 48 hours before my booking. My booking was made on the basis that if I cancelled within 5 days I had to pay £65. I was pleasantly surprised when they waived the cancellation fee. Thankyou

To be fair this hotel has been taken over by new management during the last 3 weeks, but we had made the booking on 30th March 2012 for 1 night on 15th June. We needed 3 rooms; 1 a family room plus 2 doubles. It is no mean fete to actually manage to locate this place so imagine our discontent... More
