Sleep Well


The salty air of the Cornish seaside lends itself well to a good night's sleep, whatever Mousehole's seagulls might have to say.  

So we've sourced only the best beds.  Our aim: to be bombarded with requests for details of where we find them.  Such has been the case in Wales and at The Gurnard's.

Each bedroom has a view of the sea, many with nothing between it and us save our garden and a few rocks.  Some enjoy a mere glimpse, others a astonishing panorama from a top floor balcony. 

From many, the hypnotic St. Clement's Isle takes the eye, resolutely distracting one's gaze from The Lizard, St. Michael's Mount and departing fishing boats.

In each room, Roberts Radios, toiletries from Bramley Products, proper coffee and Cornish tea, soft linen and books with which to curl up on your bed.   
 

 

And Cornish art sits comfortably on our Ty Mawr lime-painted walls,  much the work of local painter Tim Hall who runs a recommended painting school just outside Mousehole.     

Breakfast looking out to sea.  A cooked Cornish Breakfast, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, fruit, local yoghurts, home made muesli, Cornish apple juice from Polgoon and home-made soda bread for you to make your own toast. 

The Sunday Sleepover

So popular, we should trademark it. Includes Sunday lunch, supper, your room and breakfast on Monday.

What could be better than kicking back after Sunday lunch and watching everyone else retreat to the Sunday night blues.

From £345 per couple at busier times, or from £299 when the Winter Escape is in place.

2024 & 2025 Rates

Below are our 2024 year round rates, both B&B and Dinner B&B (3 course from anywhere on our menu). The only thing we ask is that guests are on the same type of rate through their stay.

This year we're going to leave it late before deciding next year's room rates. So the good news is that we're holding our 2024 prices for any bookings made before 31 December this year for stays in 2025.

If you're staying on a dinner inclusive rate, we're happy for you to eat EITHER with us or at The Gurnard's Head, subject to warning us so we can book you a table.
