Small owner-run hotel. Owners very friendly and welcoming. Quiet, peaceful setting with lovely garden and rural views. The hotel and rooms are decorated and fitted out to a very high standard and everything is clean and comfortable. The food, both breakfast and dinner, is of a very high standard. Everywhere you look the impression is that the owners place a high priority on attention to detail; and it is the detail that makes a difference.

The downsides are not criticisms, just a reality of running a small hotel. The restaurant is closed for dinner on Saturdays and Sundays (though several local restaurants are not far) and dinner menu choices have to be made at breakfast. If you want pools; gym; sauna etc. this is not the place for you - For us, we look forward to going again before too long.

On the drive up to the Country House, it looks really grand, I think the photos on the website don't do it justice, for exterior and interior. We were welcomed by Clive Emmerson, the owner, he was very friendly, and helpful, and changed my mother-in-laws room when she mentioned she wanted a bath, so they are very accomodating to ones needs. The bedrooms aren't huge, but charming, and very clean, with everything you could need, so not a problem, and the views are just lovely. The grounds around the House are so pretty and well kept. We only ate breakfast there due to our busy schedule, and it was very nice, with all the options you would expect. All the communal rooms are grand and very well presented, its a shame we didn't have more time to spend in the hotel. All in all I can't think of anything I didn't like, and would highly recommend this hotel for all ages.

Pencubitt was the 2nd stop on a week-long walking holiday and a more welcome sight we hae never seen at the end of day 2 being footsore and tired! The grounds are lovely with some fun garden spots . We had a beautiful large room with a really comfy bed and sofa sitting area and a spacious bathroom. Being a Sunday and the dining room closed; Clive our host was very helpful with the rundown of places to eat in town that night along with some great bits of history about the area that we would have never known if he had not shared. Breakfast was more than enough the next morning and very tasty.

My husband & I have stayed at this lovely country house hotel five times now.The hotel and grounds are superb and the owners are fantastic.
The hotel is in such a picturesque setting and is quiet and peaceful.The views from the house are beautiful. Mr and Mrs Emmerson (the owners) are always helpful and friendly .Breaakfast is a delight.
The train station is a 5 minute walk so you can leave the car at Pencubitt and visit many places from Liskeard.
No children ,no dogs .....perfect!R
