The Balnoon Inn with Rooms

They are just starting out reviving this hotel and do have a long way to go in the rooms. It will take a lot of work and I wish them all the best. They are good hosts.

We were travelling around Cornwall in a Camper Van. We found the Balnoon Inn on the Brit stops app. We pitched up in a lovely space with great views. Jon and Gemma provide a lovely warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They have been the new owners since March and have made some great changes to the place, and plan many more. Bring a novice Camper van owner, they were able to offer tips and advice and were kind enough to allow us to have a shower and eat our pizza on the premises. We will definitely return and will recommend to our friends and family.

I stayed last minute . Thr bar and dinning room are beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfy and the vanity kit was very decent. Towels soft and shower powerful. You must try the full English/cornish. Cooked to perfection and they got the eggs just how I wanted them. The husband and wife team are warm and welcoming and the team are all so friendly. I was supposed to stay this Monday to Wednesday but something came up last minute. I will most certainly be back

We called and spoke to Jon to see if, as a BritStops member, we could park up. We arrived to a warm welcome on Friday evening, but due to unfortunate reasons, they had been let down by a chef. However, Gemma said she would sort something for us, which she did. This is very unfortunate for Jon and Gemma, as we saw a few pop in but as no chef they left. Tha Balnoon suffered from a poor reputation and has recently been taken over by Jon and Gemma and they have worked hard in turning it around, and they are almost there. Once they get the chef started (Tuesday) apparently this should boost morale and confidence in the customers and a good reputation will be gained. Thanks for the stay and good luck with your venture.

Called in for a very late lunch, mid afternoon, They were still serving sandwiches and soup. Bacon and Brie panini and chips very tasty and filling. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Will visit again.

This is a ‘MUST EXPERIENCE’ Pub & Restaurant. We were quite thirsty while we set out of St. Ivy towards Truro this afternoon and we stopped at this lovely Inn for a drink. The moment I stepped in - I felt a wonderful vibrations of this place- the service was excellent, and had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Johnny. The oak beams were oozing with character and the ambiance was very relaxing. There was plenty of space to park- surrounded by great landscapes on all sides. The remains of an old church yet exists between the carpark and the pub with an air of serenity, with a beautiful garden. Though Johnny took over this Inn only a few months ago he has refurbished it beautifully and restored the Oak beams, to its natural colour. He and his wife have achieved a lot, despite the birth of a baby only six weeks ago. The Soup my wife had and the scotch egg I had was excellent too. If you are looking for the best place to have a drink in St. Ives - this is it! I will try to upload some pics I took. A big thanks to Johnny and family.
