The Gurnard’s Head is a dining pub with rooms. Their approach to the bedrooms is based on a maxim often forgotten by hotels: that a night’s sleep will only be as good as the bed itself so they source only the best Vi-Spring beds. It is no coincidence that their visitors’ books and inbox are full of requests for their details. There are no TV’s in the rooms but you will find Roberts Radios, fresh flowers, White Company toiletries, local art and warm, Welsh blankets. They have a restaurant which has short, fresh and seasonal menu changes every day according to what is brought to their back door or what their chefs feel is at its seasonal best. The tables in the bar; warmed by log fires and bordered by back copies of Giles cartoon annuals, are as popular as those in the red and blue dining room. 

The North Inn is a traditional ivy-clad Cornish village pub with purpose-built guest accommodation to the rear, with fully tiled bathrooms, television, tea and coffee facilities and balconies on the seaward side. A wide menu is available with prices set to reflect that this is a pub serving food and not a restaurant selling liquor. They are well known for their range of authentic Indian curries and their homemade pies and other dishes and the emphasis is on simplicity and the use of local produce when available.

Martin and Annie will provide the warmest of welcomes at the Tremorran B&B. A warm, light and spacious home, the Tremorran has all that one requires for a most restful stay.

Only a few minutes walk from the Coast Path and the stunning cliff edged ‘Crown Mines’ you are in the perfect location to immerse yourself in this fascinating historic region. Guests are invited to sit and enjoy rural views from the Conservatory that also faces the well-established west lawns and garden. In the distance the ruins of mine buildings can be seen with the backdrop of the sea a short walk away.

The Old Success Inn is a delightful 17th century Fisherman's Inn. Over the years, The Old Success has been sympathetically modernised to improve its accommodation, restaurant and other facilities. It currently has a bar (it is one of west Cornwall's most popular pubs), a restaurant and a residents' lounge. However, The Old Success retains its character and charm. Dinner is available in the bar or in the restaurant each evening. When the weather is kind, meals, with waiter service, are available outside.
