In an enchanting Cornish fishing village not far from beaches and gardens, the Inkin brothers' third pub with rooms has long been a firm favourite with readers. A sister property to The Gurnard's Head, Zennor and The Felin Fach Griffin, Wales, it has their signature relaxed, child-friendly, dog-friendly ambience and understated chic. The 14 rooms might not have televisions, but most of them come with sublime sea views. Some bedrooms have a balcony; all have ground coffee, books, Bramley toiletries, a Roberts radio. Fresh milk is left outside the door each morning. Eat at an oak table by the fire, on the sun deck overlooking the sub-tropical garden with views of St Clement's Isle, or on the sea-facing terrace. Seafood features prominently on the menu, sourced from Newlyn, two miles away, but there's also local meat and plenty of fresh, seasonal fruit and veg. In the restaurant, the daily changing menu might feature monkfish with tomato dashi butter, kimchi fritter and mussels, or lamb rump with kofta. There's more seafood in the new Crab Shack in the garden, where you can enjoy crab sandwiches or mussels – perfect fuel if you're walking the South West Coast Path. Breakfast brings homemade muesli, local apple juice, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, the full Cornish.
