The Old Coastguard - Hotel in Cornwall
The Parade
Mousehole, Penzance, TR19 6PR, Cornwall
England,
Royaume-Uni
This seaside hotel stands by the coastal path on the way into Mousehole, one of Cornwall’s nicest villages, where kids play on the harbour’s sandy beach at low tide. It’s a peaceful spot with a clutch of restaurants and galleries, little disturbed since the Spanish raided in 1595. Roguish brothers Edmund and Charles Inkin have form when it comes to creating small hotels of character, and this place bears all their hallmarks, being good value and casual, with relaxed staff and great food.
A diverse crowd of guests - couples, families, and ladies lunching - hang out in the rustic-smart bar and dining room. Conversation may stall as you take in the outlook over hydrangeas and palms to intriguing St Clement’s Isle and beyond, across the sweep of Mount’s Bay to the Lizard.
With Newlyn a couple of miles away, locally landed fish features at breakfast. Supper, with a modern British slant, changes with the seasons. Retreat to a lime-washed bedroom hung with Cornish art – all vary in size, character and aspect, and eight have balconies.

Local points of interest from Charles & Edmund Inkin:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Charles & Edmund Inkin:
- If you're ever going to give surfing a go, Sennen Beach just might be the place. Or, to explore Penwith on two wheels, these brilliant people can drop a bike off with us. And if you're happy to test the good humour of Neptune, head off dolphin watching.
- Some of the world’s most awe-inspiring coastline is right on our doorstep. Wander out of the back of Mousehole and be on top of the cliffs in little more than ten minutes. Stirring stuff, we promise.
- Before you come, plan foraging walks with Caroline Davey (Fat Hen) or more serious walking of the Coastal Footpath. Or, as most of us do, decide after breakfast what you feel like doing.
- The Newlyn and St. Ives schools, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Alfred Wallace, Patrick Heron, Roger Hilton. The names from yesteryear roll off the tongue but the inheritance remains in good hands.
- From the more famous Tate St. Ives and Hepworth galleries, to independents such as Essex Tyler here in Mousehole, Penlee in Penzance and Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange there is enough to keep the art lover busy for days on end.
