The Old Coastguard

The Old Coastguard is a seaside hotel at the edge of the iconic Cornish harbour of Mousehole. Winner of Seaside Hotel of the Year in the 2020 Good Hotel Guide and the IWC UK Wine List of the Year, The Old Coastguard has 14 bedrooms and is one leg of EATDRINKSLEEP, a small group of inns which also includes The Gurnard’s Head, near Zennor, and The Felin Fach Griffin, near Brecon and Hay-on-Wye. Run by Charles & Edmund Inkin and owned with the Tresco Estate, it sits immediately above the sea, with a palm lined garden running down towards the rocks. Its 14 bedrooms, nearly all looking out over glistening inland waters, have views to St. Michael's Mount and the Lizard. Informality is immediately apparent: deep sofas surround coffee tables, oak and distressed pine tables for drinkers and eaters alike and an open fire lit during the autumn and winter. Guests are welcome to eat in the dining room, bar or on the sofas overlooking the terrace and the sea. The walls are hung with the work of the community of artists inspired by this part of West Cornwall with regular temporary exhibitions. They've built the reputation of their kitchen on the maxim that the best things in life are kept simple and it's truer than anywhere here in Mousehole. This is a traditional menu that takes good ingredients and gives them a very simple but classic treatment. Jamie Porter became Head Chef in June 2019. He is passionate about sustainability and locality in his kitchen and follows the company's ethos on food sourcing and on the development of talent in his kitchen. Well executed classic food, driven, understandably with the proximity of Newlyn just two miles to the west, by seafood and shellfish. Wine is as important as the food at The Old Coastguard and recently, EatDRINKSleep has been awarded Restaurant Wine List of the Year by the International Wine Challenge, IWC 2019 Merchants Awards at the glittering Grosvenor House.

Eat at pine or oak tables on the upper deck, groups of 10 or more can dine in the bar, sit at the sofas in the sun deck or best of all and more frequently than you might think, eat on the terrace looking down at the sun-dappled sea.
