The 9 Best Pubs with Rooms in Cornwall

Cornwall has long been a favourite for a British holiday. Boasting quaint villages, picture-perfect countryside and a spectacular coastline it is not hard to see why. It has also become renowned for its cuisine which has raised the bar for many of the region's pubs, so you can expect fine dining and an excellent choice of craft beers in many now. With a thriving hotel scene, it can be hard to choose where to stay, so our hotel experts have compiled a collection of the best pubs with rooms in Cornwall from hip coastal stays to charming rural hideaways. Chosen on their location, service, design and (of course) the food and beverage options, why not browse through our list to start planning your next break?

For a coastal break

The Godolphin Arms is a recently renovated, family-run beachside hotel on the unspoilt Cornish coast with beautiful views and modern, well-equipped rooms. The restaurant and bar offer local Cornish dishes (specialising in seafood) and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The unbeatable location makes this a tough one to beat.
The Slipway is set in the popular and quaint coastal village of Port Isaac. Bright rooms have had a contemporary overhaul and the pub dishes are excellent. With easy access to beaches and coastal walks, this is a charming choice.
The Queens Hotel, set in boho-chic St Ives, offers smart rooms, an atmospheric bar and great food served in the restaurant. There's plenty of good surf spots locally and wonderful coastal walks.
The Chain Locker is a chic coastal option in Falmouth boasting a restaurant that serves excellent seafood. The views across Falmouth and the sea from the large terrace are unbeatable and the lively bar is a real draw. With great sailing options nearby, this is a good choice for boating enthusiasts.
The Gannet Inn is a stylish boutique stay situated in hip St Ives. Pick this property for the exceptionally friendly staff and the food which is both hearty and skilfully crafted. Just a stroll from the coast - this is a classic Cornish option.

For foodies

The Plume of Feathers is a beautifully renovated inn set in the charming village of Mitchell. Rooms are spacious, bright and contemporary. However, the restaurant which serves elevated pub grub using locally-sourced food is the real lure.
The Old Custom House is the epitome of a perfect Cornish break. Set in popular Padstow and boasting an award-winning restaurant specialising in seafood. Rooms overlook the harbour and boast rolltop baths and the bar serves an on-trend selection of local ales and cocktails.
Set in beautiful St Ives, The Lifeboat Inn offers a handful of smart bedrooms (most with coastal views) with sink-into beds, simple contemporary fabrics, and indulgent bathrooms. It may be stylish, but the atmospheric pub is the beating heart of this inn and serves superb seafood.

For a rural escape

St Tudy Inn is located in the rural Cornish village of St Tudy. The inn offers chic accommodation in light hues. Upmarket pub classics are served in an elegant dining room. A quiet country getaway, ideal for couples' weekend breaks.
