A boutique inn in Carbis Bay, a mile from St Ives along the coast path, run as the more relaxed sister to the Carbis Bay Hotel. Quirky bird-themed rooms — Oyster Catcher, Chough, Kittiwake — with bold décor and some with sea views. The restaurant is unpretentious and genuinely warm: hearty British classics with a Cornish twist, designed by Rosette-winning chef Andy Houghton. Crab profiteroles, cider-battered hake, chicken teriyaki, pork belly porchetta, sticky toffee pudding. Log fire, real ales, a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for a post-coastal-path lunch. A mile from St Ives; Carbis Bay beach a short walk away. Book ahead for dinner.
