About

Portloe, nestled on the south Cornish coast between St. Austell and Falmouth, offers an ideal base for exploring the region's attractions, including the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Overlooking a picturesque cove and tiny harbour, this charming hotel, once a 17th-century inn, boat builder's shed, and fishermen's cottages, now welcomes guests with warm hospitality and a relaxing spa. Its 22 contemporary rooms feature crisp white linens, bleached Portuguese wood accents, and luxurious en-suite bathrooms with deep baths and deluge showers. The Lugger Restaurant, with stunning sea and harbour views, serves classic cuisine emphasizing locally-sourced seafood. Guests can also enjoy lunches and evening aperitifs on the sun-drenched terraces.
