What our guests have said -
"As we said at the time we had a lovely stay and you made us feel very welcome. Next day we went on to Padstow and had a pleasant time. However despite a good breakfast there my family all agreed your breakfast was tastier. Especially your sausages, they were superb, quite possibly the best I have ever had, and your tomatoes were sublime ".
"Just wanted to thank you again for a lovely weekend, it did us the world of good".
"Just a belated thankyou for looking after us the other weekend. We had a great weekend with our friends - made all the more enjoyable by your hospitality"
"We enjoyed our stay very much and would like to thank you for being such a kind host. We shall certainly be recommending Rubbytown to our friends".
