Arrive in style to this 13th-century inn either on your own boat or via water taxi. For the less adventurous, you can also get there by foot or by car too.

The thatched roof and flagstone floors give this place real character, adding to its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek.

The kitchen uses fresh, local and seasonal produce while behind the bar you will find an extensive wine list and traditional real ales from St Austell Brewery.
