Found in the centre of Bodmin Moor Cornwall, this windswept inn was saviour of many a traveller ( although for a period of it's history it was in fact a temperance house ) . Brought to life after a stay by Daphne du Maurier, she wrote her famous book of the same name and now the Inn is known worldwide. The Inn has the reputation of being one of the most haunted places in Britain, I know! we did not sleep well there- it was not the sighting but the possibility that kept us awake!!!
