Around Portloe
Portloe is a quintessential little Cornish fishing village with a harbour for small boats and a little beach which is great for paddling and swimming out in to the cove.
In Portloe itself there is The Ship Inn which also serves food. The Lugger, a boutique hotel in the village with a restaurant is a few yards from the house. There are a number of additional excellent restaurants and inns in the area including The New Inn at Veryan, the Nare Hotel overlooking Carne Beach, The Driftwood Hotel in Rosevine and the Hotel Tresanton and Idle Rocks in St Mawes.
For more casual eating out, try The Hidden Hut at Porthcurnick beach – voted best beach side café in England. Only 15 minutes away is the excellent Da Bara bakery in the garden behind Roseland Garden centre that sells amazing bread, pasties, pastries and coffee.

The beaches of Carne and Pendower are close by where you can enjoy swimming and exploring the rock pools.
