The Edgcumbe Arms

After a day of walking, we stopped by the pub. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beer was fantastic and we would definitely return in the future.

Came this morning for a break from the Rugby World Cup but still wanted back for todays games. Thought we’d have a swift couple before getting the ferry back only to discover with great shock and surprise that the landlord were announcing that tonight would be the end of trading and the pub would close. This is a famous, popular and very enjoyable and useful pub overlooking the widest and most attractive part of the Hamoaze estuary of the Tamar. We’ve been coming here for decades. Drinking in the old style interior or out on the benches right beside the river is a great way to pass the time. Maybe there will be more news and detail on this breaking story but all we and the other customers were told was that there have been an horrific run of thefts from the premises and that rising costs have made trading unviable. Everyone was asking whether this is just an indeterminate pause, whether there might be new management or the pub sold off maybe for conversion but nobody could say. We hope that the site and appeal of the pub will main that the closure might be very short but it was all a bit bleak today.

Had a variety of meals, breakfast and main evening meals during the duration of our stay. All of them started with a warm welcome, excellent service and wonderfully tasty food. Already looking forward to returning. Well worth the walk or ferry trip to get there. Genuinely dog friendly.

I stayed at this pub/hotel for a couple of nights for a wedding at Polhawn Fort. The establishment is spacious with six rooms upstairs and a large bar area featuring beautiful wooden panelling and an open fire. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed big breakfasts and had lunch one day, with superb mussels and beer-battered cod. The location is unique, situated at the end of the only road in Cremyll and conveniently across from the foot ferry to Plymouth. I wish the weather had been better during my stay as the outside area looked fantastic. I will definitely return in the future.

We had lunch at this restaurant where I ordered the fish finger sandwich and my husband had a burger with chips. The fish in my sandwich was delicious, but I was disappointed that my £11 cod sandwich was served on supermarket white sliced bread. My husband's burger was undercooked, not just slightly rare, but raw inside. It seemed like it was cooked from frozen, despite being told the temperature had been checked before service. The staff were apologetic and replaced the burger, which was better. We would have preferred a refund. The waiting staff was friendly, but the owners should spend some time weeding out the front of the restaurant. It seems like they have a monopoly in the area; perhaps if there was competition, the quality would be higher.
