The main reason to go to the Old Pound Inn is Lea… she was our host and a good cook. We were served breakfast every morning as part of our booking and we never missed having Lea cook for us in the evening. Every bite was delicious. Her meat pie was homemade and the best I have ever eaten, her sticky toffee pudding was the best my wife and I have ever had. The cost of eating our evening meal was less expensive than most of the places we found to eat elsewhere on our holiday and the food was the absolute best. With many bed and breakfasts we have had a hard time to find an acceptable place to eat in the evening, we did not have that problem here. They were open until 9:00pm and the food was the best. Lea’s staff were very attentive and very friendly. The room was excellent, the location was very central to the Cornwall Peninsula and southern Wales. We saw the Cheddar Gorge and a very large number of castles and locations in southern Wales. The Old Pound Inn was the very best part of our stay in the area. Wales and western England were easily accessible from this location. The inn was located in a very small quiet town, just short of rural. This is a must stay location… there could be no better than this best.

Came here for a Sunday roast while staying the area, after reading the positive reviews we were looking forward to a nice meal. Sadly this was not the case, the veg was basically raw and the meat was a bit grisly we were all disappointed with the quality.Besides the meal, you can feel that it’s a local pub and as people new to the area we felt like we stuck out like sore thumbs and felt uncomfortable when in the bar area.Lovely place otherwise and staff are brilliant and great customer service/hospitality. Really clean and well looked after

Not a great experience. We stayed for one night. On arrival, we checked in after having already booked and paid online for 2 adults and 2 dogs and they wanted to charge us an extra £15 per dog per night. This price is not shown during booking and they do not provide anything for dogs after having paid this, not even a water bowl. The room was ok, the bathroom had recently been renovated which was nice however the door to it wouldn't remain shut. The bathroom heater was also on full heat throughout the stay with no way of turning it off. The carpet was dirty and very dated. The breakfast was incredibly oily and the cereals were stale. Unfortunately we would not stay again

Wow what a place, we went on a Sunday so had a carvery although it was dished up on the plate but tasted delicious 😋. A great choice on the menu if you don't want the carvery and all at reasonable prices. Bar staff and waitress were both friendly and very obliging. Well done all

I've stayed here a few times and never been disappointed. I was welcomed by the Landlady Lea who showed me to my room. It was clean and the bed was so comfy. The shower was impressive. …

We went to meet others for lunch, so I can't rate the rooms. Easy to find, but car park quite small. Food and drinks were excellent. Service friendly and helpful.
