Summary: Breakfast is NOT included, despite what Expedia may be displaying.
It's a property where you have to make do with what's available. The inn staff/owners are quite helpful, and chances are that most of your problems would be solved by asking for their assistance. Be prepared to accept a few hiccups, like the lack of WiFi in your rooms (either borrow the WiFi from the bar and download your stuff beforehand, it treat it as a digital detox?) or the door lock being quite tough to open (it's an old building). Other than that it was a satisfactory stay, location is quite nice and the food was lovely.

Summary: We booked family room for 4, the room had a made up double bed and a sofa which only had a duvet, no linen or pillows. Only 2 mugs for teas. On arrival we were told they didnt do breakfast which was included in our stay, the Landlord then cooked us croissants the night before to take to our room for the morning. The bathroom was clean but the room had webs in the beams and we had 2 massive spiders!
The views were great and only 10 minute drive to St Ives. We ate at the Engine Inn in the evening and the food was lovely, a friendly pub with a friendly Landlord.

Summary: We had such a lovely stay at the Engine Inn! The countryside views from the garden are absolutely stunning, the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and chat with the locals. Owner Bianca was so friendly, and she offers an amazing full breakfast for a great value. The rooms are very cozy, with the exposed beams and rustic decor reminiscent of a simpler time. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice country escape!

Summary: The room was far above our expectations. The views were outstanding,although very rural only 5 min drive to St Ives so best of both worlds. The pub itself served good beer and great food and we will return.
