I am a seasoned visitor to Crackington Haven and so with a few meetings in and around North Cornwall, I thought I would stay at the Coombe Narton which has had a fairly recent temultous past.

The place was quiet what with it being New Year, but the rates were incredibly cheap, the room I stayed in (Number 6) had incredible views, its own terrace/balcony overlooking the beach, it was clean and had very quick responsive heaters which was useful bearing in mind the weather. Needless to say, the terrace didnt get used.

The few locals in the pub were friendly, I only ate once during my stay, but that was superb and if anybody fancies Mr Barton's Fish and Chips, I whole heartedly recommend it.

A throughly enjoyable trip and there need not by any unecessary concern about the future of the Coombe Barton with landlords Helen and Carl at the helm who are clearly doing things right and just what the Coombe Barton needed.

We were tired when we arrived from the coast path and were very pleased to discover the Inn in the haven. We had reserved a beautiful and confortable room with a welcome bath tub.
In the evening we had two different delicious dishes and great ales.
The next morning we enjoyed an english breakfast which gave us the necessary energy for the next day of hiking.
One of the best places we stayed during our two weeks along the coast path of Devon and Cornwall !

We enjoyed a wonderful 2 days in this lovely inn - the room was superbly decorated and whilst small had ensuite, and a lovely sea-view balcony. The owners were friendly, helpful and relaxed, and the location couldn't be better: all amenities close by. Highly recommended, if a little overpriced.

'Superb evening' With many thanks to all the staff particularly Carl the owner for being so helpful and for accomodating all of our requests, Excellent food, spotlessly clean and would highly recommend anyone use the function room for any small or large party venue.
