A fabulous base for exploring the magical Cornish coastline. Feast on rustic delights and take in the view from their summer garden

The coastline is magical and the hike to St Ives hard to beat. Secret beaches appear at low tide and wild flowers streak the land pink in summer. As for the pub, you couldn't hope for better. It's earthy, stylish and friendly, with colourwashed walls, stripped wooden floors and log fires. Maps and local art hang on the walls, books fill every shelf; if you can't finish one, take it home and post it back. Super homemade food can be eaten wherever you want: in the bar, in the restaurant or out in the garden in good weather. Snack on rustic delights – confit duck, grilled figs – or tuck into more substantial treats: white crab salad, pear and avocado; cod with orange endive, cauliflower purée and curried apricot, chased by dark chocolate tart or popcorn ice cream. Picnics are easily arranged and the St Ives-Penzance bus runs right outside – a huge plus.

Guest feedback
"Amazing place to stay. Food faultless. Great walks. Loved the local Cornish band on Monday evening. Enjoyed cows walking past window on way to milking. Would definitely return as staff made us feel very welcome."
