We're hiking the Coastal Path and stayed at the Finnygook Inn near Portwrinkle. The Inn is about a mile from the Path and worth the trek. The rooms were well done with a comfortable bed, linens, towels and a great bathroom. The view from the room was lovely - looking toward Plymouth. The rooms were incredibly quiet and we had a good night's sleep. The coffee maker should be replaced with an electric kettle - it was a non-functioning piece of clap trap. The pub was great with happy locals and dogs alike. We had a really good dinner including chicken liver pate, langostino and prawn cocktail, a wonderful fish of the day special on a bed of crab risotto and a curry dish.

The chips were already covered in salt( whether you wanted it or not! My wife had a cheese and pickle sandwich as they had no tuna ,this was £6.00 and was disgusting too! There was nothing special about these sandwiches and how they justify the price is astonishing! I was thinking of making a booking to take 16 family members for a meal( with some staying over at the pub) this will not be happening now! I have told my friends toavoid. Also check your bill,they overcharged...
