The Countryman

Stayed here over the bank holiday weekend whilst visiting family. The room was spotless with a good range of amenities. Excellent location - just a stone’s throw from Carbis Bay and a short drive (or train journey) to the centre of St Ives. Delicious breakfast which was included in the price 👍 and the friendliest hosts we’ve met for a long time! David and Jackie really know how to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their guests. We will definitely be returning!

The setting.. the staff and the food are just fantastic.. Although we have eaten here many times before i thought it about time to do a review… Myself and my wife have just had the sunday roast .. I had the beef and she had the chicken .. Everything cooked to perfection and too much to eat if im honest. Thank god this place is on our door step because its 5 star and never disappoints 👍👍👍

Just recently visited for a family meal, on arrival we we're greeted with a warm welcome, sat and had drinks before our meal, and then we went and sat to have our meal which was out of this world, couldn't fault anything, highly recommended to anyone.

So far we have visited The Countryman twice and I expect we will be going again whilst we are staying in the area. The service was excellent all smiles on arrival and super efficient. I am gluten free and initially we telephoned to check that they had gf options .On our first visit they were aware and by our second visit we didn’t even need to mention it as the waitress explained in full what I was able to have . First time I had an incredible serving of crispy gluten free fish and chips and didn’t mind my northern request for a portion of gravy. The fish was so tasty and fresh and the batter was crispy and light. My husband enjoyed a wonderful slow cooked beef brisket which was beautifully tasty and tender .On the second visit we sat down to one of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had! I had roast Turkey with fresh tasty vegetables and roast potatoes I missed out on the stuffing and Yorkshire pudding but I am not a fan of them anyway. Instead the chef kindly gave me extra roasties , unfortunately I was just to full to eat them all! My husband had the pork belly again incredibly well cooked but of course he enjoyed the Yorkshire pud and stuffing !!! We would highly recommend a visit here if you are in the area and dogs are welcome in the lounge bar.

We went for Sunday lunch today (13/08/23). Fantastic meal. Plenty of thick cut, tender meat (I had lamb) and veg. The pudding choice was very good. The lemon posset was outstanding. The staff were friendly, professional and you felt genuinely welcome. No wonder most of the people there were locals. Proper job.

It was warm and welcoming although the resident cat did look a little grumpy. The owners reassured us he always looks like that. We ordered the Sunday roasts. My husband chose the pork and I had the roast beef. The meals were lovely. Food came out piping hot which we loved after visiting so many places where meals were just warm. Allergy aware which was great. We never stopped for pudding. The prices are great and staff are friendly.

Jackie and her husband looked after our large group very well. There were 17 of us for evening meal and most of us had 3 courses. Everyone thought food the was lovely served by friendly efficient staff. Its very good value for money, for instance 2 large glasses of white wine 12 pounds, on St Ives harbour front Ive paid that for 1 glass of wine Highly recommend it..go.

Whilst on Holiday in Lelant Downs Cornwall, We went into The Countryman Old Coach Road, for an evening meal. So Glad we did, we were greeted by David a very friendly host. The meals we ordered were great very tasty at a more than fair price. We booked in for the Sunday Roast. So pleased we did, GREAT meal LOVELY FRIENDLY atmosphere. Nothing to much trouble for David Jackie and staff. We highly recommend you visit.

Great little hotel in a quiet area. Very good for exploring St Ives and Carbis Bay. Car is definitely required.
