Why stay here
5.6A traditional Cornish inn above Cadgwith Cove, described by its owners as more than 400 years old and still at the heart of the local community. Its rooms, atmospheric bar and seafood restaurant make it a base for exploring this rugged stretch of the Lizard Peninsula.
This is a characterful place to stay because its story is tied to the working cove around it: the inn describes a long seafaring past, local fishing and family custodianship. Its setting on the Lizard Peninsula Coastal Walk adds a strong walking-and-coast connection, without needing to dress it up as a remote retreat.
