We actually stayed for 3 nights under 2 separate bookings. We were on our way for Christmas week in Cornwall but stopped in Tavistock where my partner lived until recently to catch up with friends. The Cornish Arms couldn’t be better placed. But the best bit was the breakfast! Delicious 😊

Breakfast was excellent. No mass produced buffet here. Lovely choice of freshly cooked food or you could have fresh baked bread/croissants. Rooms very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Situated right in the heart of Tavistock, which is so convenient. Car park to the rear which was very handy.

Ideally situated just 5 minute walk to the town centre, and to the Tavistock wharf were we went for an evening of live music. The room was clean and breakfast was very nice and i would recommend staying if you wanted to tour the area.
Free parking was also a plus
very hard to find anything that i didnt like about our stay, if anything having a room on the front, we did have some noise from people leaving local pubs

The standard was maintained throughout from the booked lunch on Sunday which was excellent, we have eaten there before, to the standard of the room where we have not stayed before. The room was immaculate being offered fresh milk was a bonus. The breakfast continued the same level as to the food the previous day great quality, cooked to perfection with careful presentation.

Warmth of the greeting from the dedicated parking area.
The decor and the equipment in the room, dressing gown coffee maker etc plus the offer of fresh milk.
Food and the cooked breakfast to die for - especially thick streaky bacon.
Central location with easy access to church and market

The staff were friendly and efficient; our room was clean and comfortable; the breakfast was excellent as was the dinner we enjoyed; the location was perfect for exploring the town of Tavistock; all in all we would highly recommend the Cornish Arms and we will certainly stay there again if we go back to Tavistock.
I can't think of anything.

All the staff, from the bar staff to waiting staff and even the cleaner were absolutely amazing. Very helpful and friendly.
The food was exceptional. I would drive 200 miles just to have the venison dish again! Superb breakfast.

Comfortable beds & pillows
Ear plugs were provided for free in the room which I thought was strange until it was time to sleep. Then I realised why the noise from the street including people and cars was horrendous. Further exacerbated by rowdy customers coming back to their rooms with no consideration for anyone else.

The Cornish Arms is a bit more expensive than other B&B accommodation but as soon as you arrive you soon realise why you are paying a little extra. The premises are impressive in terms of decor and atmosphere. The staff are very welcoming and helpful on arrival, that's a good start. They then show you to your room (we stayed in 'Toad'). As soon a you enter you know you have made the right decision to stay at The Cornish Arms. It's clean, it's tastefully decorated, it's spacious, the bathroom for once is big and has natural light. Extras include bathrobes, usual tea & coffee, pieces of cake and even ear plugs! The bed is the biggest I have slept in and very comfortable. Breakfast too was of a high standard and the staff very polite and attentive. There are a few dedicated parking spaces for residents, I counted seven and that should mean you will have a parking space. These spaces are immediately behind the pub and adjacent to Russell Street public car park so you have that option too. It would be worth entering Russell Street into your sat nav as parking at the front of The Cornish Arms is not that practical. A great experience and having had that experience we would not hesitate to book again.
Advise guests in advance to head for Russell Street car park in order to access the rear of The Cornish Arms where their on site car parking spaces are located.

Everyone very friendly
Room and bathroom spotless
The place had a great vibe.
Noisy room as we were on the front
Next time we will ask to be at the back
A little fridge in the room would be nice to keep drinks and medication chilled .
Apart from that it was perfect and we can't wait to return.

A really lovely room which was comfy and clean. We had a roast which was delicious and also breakfast in the morning which was probably one of the nicest full English breakfasts we have both ever had! The place has a really nice atmosphere, I’d absolutely recommend.
