The Top House Inn

Comfortable room. Easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Host Mary was exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful (gluten free food, booking taxi etc.). We are a retired couple walking the South West Coast Path and would stay here again.

Well presented large clean room on ground floor.

We are a local family from Helston& StKeverne who met at The Top House for a Sunday meal together. Unfortunately our experience regarding our gluten free choice needs highlighting for the safety of others. My daughter & I ordered the food at the bar. The gentleman taking our order wasn't sure if the cheese& tomato gnocchi with cheesy garlic bread was gluten free. I pointed out it was advertised as a gf option on the menu. He came back after checking with the chef & yes it was gf, great we ordered it. My daughter was delighted & when it came she said the garlic bread was the best she had ever tasted and could she order some more? Pleased that she was enjoying it we went to order more with the lady who served our table. We were then flabbergasted to be told "oh the garlic bread isn't gluten free" My daughter had already eaten it, and that was more gluten than she has had in one sitting for several years. She said her goodbyes and went home immediatly. It was Wednesday this week before she felt better. This is outrageously irresposible, unprofessional and ignorant on many levels. It has damaged our confidence in eating out and is simply not acceptable in this day & age. I am shocked,angry & upset and I'm sorry Top House all your staff from top to bottom need training. This kind of carelessness around allergens& intolerances can be life threatening for some people. Not good enough. Not safe.

Well, it's not very often I have found a place run so poorly, but this must be it! You would think serving a Sunday lunch would be the simplicity itself. But probably only if you have experience, and the right staff around you. From what I witnessed today, the Top House have neither. A disgrace to St Austell Brewery. No wonder the locals stay away!

It was very Family friendly and after a Long Walk we enjoyed the Space room and bathroom. Our son enjoyed borrowing a DVD to watch a movie After Dinner on a Rains evening. You can Hear the ship Horns surrounding Point Lizard.

A lovely, clean, good sized room. Very friendly welcome. If you just want to a place to just sleep for the night, this is ideal. Absolutely no noise from the pub below.

Our stay was great overall. Our room had a bathtub which is always a big plus. Perfect location in the middle of Lizard, with plenty of shops nearby and Lizard point within a short walking distance.

Although just a one-night stay as part of my South West motorcycle tour, I have to say how very impressed I was with the accommodation and catering. First of all, the room was well appointed with all the expected features, all decoration was fresh and recent. I particularly appreciated the quality of sleep and the excellent pillows. As an added bonus, this establishment really cares about its real ales and had several interesting ales on tap. Congratulations to the cellarman. Having decided to dine at The Top House, I can say the food was of the highest standard, fresh fish (I saw the fish being delivered) and chips led me to believe that the chef really cares about the quality of the food. This was on a much higher level than normal pub food. Thank you to the hosts Andy and Margaret and all their friendly staff for their hospitality.

Perfect - the Housel room (the rooms has names and not numbers) is very nice, and the Lizard town itself is stunning and a must visit if you are in the area.
