The Silverton Inn - B&b

The breakfast was lovely. We had cereals and yoghurt to choose from followed by a delicious full English breakfast and never ending coffee and tea if we wanted it. Our breakfast waitress is a lovely lady - very friendly and thoughtful. As we would not be arriving on the Thursday evening until about 8pm we were worried that we would be too late to order food before 8pm. I rang the Silverton and explained our situation and was able to give our order of fish and chips over the phone before 8pm. Once we arrived, at 8pm, the kitchen were told of our arrival and our meal was ready for us once we had unloaded into our rooms. This was much appreciated. The bar is what I call down to earth which we liked. Nothing fancy but clean, comfortable and traditional which made for a relaxing evening after a long drive. The bedrooms are lovely - very tastefully decorated and comfortable - more than a three star in my opinion. We were in double room 7 at the front of the Inn and it was very quiet. Our family members has the larger double room number 5 but unfortunately the guest in the room above them was pacing the floor until gone midnight and they heard every footstep - the downside of old buildings I think.

Unfortunately, although piping hot and very welcome the fish and chip supper was not as good as it could have been. The chips were soft and soggy and the fish was very overdone but the batter was amazing. I wonder if the food had been left too long under a heat light?? The fish and chips came with salad and mushy peas and cost £9.50 per person which we felt was a bit too much for what it was. It would have been £2 cheaper if it had been a takeaway meal. As staying guests at the Inn we felt the £2 charge should have been waivered. It would have been a nice gesture.

The bed was very comfortable and the room and bathroom exceptionally clean

Nothing to dislike, but possibly a little more choice with breakfast , perhaps more fruit.
