Originally a farmhouse, “The Top House” has been a licensed hostelry for nearly 200 years, the last 50 years run by the Greenslade family.  Part of the bar houses a fine collection of 19th century watercolours and antique prints of views of The Lizard and Kynance. There is an extensive collection of lifeboat and shipwreck artefacts and a miniature bottle collection.  A selection of hot and cold meals is served lunchtimes and evenings throughout the year. We welcome children and dogs. There is a large car park and in summer there is a small garden, and in winter a welcoming log fire burns.

Entries to Avril Evens (address below)

There has been a public house on the site for several hundred years until it burnt down in the early 1900s. It was rebuilt and today it is set in 3 acres of grounds.

The Three Tuns maintains much of its original character, and its speciality is its homemade food and a choice of beers to suit most palates.

Standing in the village square with local shops at hand, numerous beaches nearby and of course beautiful coastal walks.
