A bold gorse-yellow coaching inn on the dramatic road between St Ives and St Just, perched on the edge of Penwith moorland with the Atlantic visible from the bar. Owned by brothers Charles and Edmund Inkin — the same team behind The Old Coastguard in Mousehole and The Felin Fach Griffin in Wales — whose philosophy is simply “the simple things in life done well.” The food is seasonal, local and confident: fresh fish, foraged hedgerow ingredients, daily-changing menus shaped by what’s been caught and grown. Stone floors, log fires at both ends of the bar, books on every shelf. Eight individually decorated rooms. Sat at the midpoint of the South West Coast Path between Land’s End and St Ives. Thoroughly dog-friendly — bowls, biscuits and blankets on arrival. Open all year. Book ahead.
