WHAT WE LOVE...

Surrounded by the windswept headlands of the Roseland Peninsula, this 17th-century smugglers inn is right on the water's edge of the peaceful fishing port of Portloe, offering a stylish yet homely retreat, with more than a sprinkling of Daphne Du Maurier-style charm. Step inside the Lugger's old-world exterior and you'll discover why it's Cornwall's only five-AA star inn - an award-winning restaurant and 24 coastal chic bedrooms add luxury to this characterful bolthole. Suited to those looking to relax with a backdrop of stunning sea views, walk the rugged South West Coastal Path, and enjoy fresh local produce - it's hard not to fall for the charms of this ancient inn.
