My wife and I stayed at the Coombe Barton Inn in Crackington Haven around Easter
time 2006.  We absoulutely loved the area.  We wanted to book it again this
summer but their website is closed and the email address I had doesn't work (the
message I sent them was kicked back to me undeliverable).  Does any one here
know if this pub is still open?  Any help on this matter would be greatly
appreciated.

May not be open any longer, it seems not everyone in as enamoured of
the place as you...

Still, Google's entry had a phone number  1840 230345ý, Trip
Advisor has links to book which may or may not work, you're much
better off calling.

There's plenty of other places along the Cornish coasts, when I looked
at BITE's Cornwall pub guide (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/
guide/cornwall.shtml), someone was recommending a place next to the
Blue Anchor in Helston, which is one of the pub gems of Cornwall.
I've also done some very pleasant drinking in Portreath.  Easy enough
to get to too, now Continental flies Newark to Bristol.
