The Old Coastguard

Part of Charles and Edmund Inkin’s acclaimed EatDrinkSleep collection (which also includes The Gurnard’s Head and The Felin Fach Griffin), The Old Coastguard enjoys an enviable position above Mousehole Harbour, with sweeping views across Mount’s Bay.

Executive chef Max Wilson oversees the kitchens here and at The Gurnard’s Head, while head chef Olly Gardner leads the day-to-day cooking.

Seasonality is their guiding principle, and they use fish landed just along the coast in Newlyn alongside the best meat and vegetables the region has to offer. The menu changes with the seasons and balances confident brasserie-style cooking with global flavours. Whole Cornish sole is matched with Singapore crab sauce, spring onion, pickled chilli and coriander, while lamb rump is accompanied by pea hummus, garlic yogurt, guindilla and za’atar.

Whether dining on the terrace overlooking the sea, in the light-filled Upper Deck or in the garden, there’s a strong sense of place throughout. Upstairs, many of the comfortable bedrooms look out across the bay, making it easy to extend your stay.
