The Balnoon Inn with Rooms

We stayed at the Balnoon by way of their park and eat, for camper van travellers. Unfortunately they are between chefs so we only had a couple of beers. Having been before under the old owners I can report that the Balnoon is in far better condition these days and we were welcomed warmly by the the couple who are now behind the bar, Gemma and Jon. Would certainly recommend and return.

I highly recommend you save yourself the disappointment of dining here; it was an absolutely dreadful experience. The food was severely undercooked and far from fresh, contradicting the advertisement we had seen prior to our visit. As we walked in, we had high hopes, but those expectations were shattered within minutes of our arrival. Our food and drinks were served almost immediately, but to our dismay, the quality was abysmal. Everything was soggy, and the roast we received was particularly unappetizing. To make matters worse, they ran out of frozen roast chicken by 12:30 PM and offered us dried-out pork and beef instead. It was painfully obvious that these meats had been overcooked multiple times, and I can say this with authority as I am a chef myself. Overall, this place is simply terrible and not worth your time or money.

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.
