The Old Coast Guard Hotel Restaurant

The restaurant at The Old Coastguard Hotel in Mousehole has an airy, Mediterranean feel. By virtue of its having been a coastguard station, it has the very best views over Mount’s Bay – fact. The modern décor makes the most of the views, with smart, neutral colours, light wood floor, leather seating, white table linens, seaside-coloured modern art and rather enormous windows. The award-winning restaurant has a strong leader in chef Barnaby Mason. The menu makes full use of local sourcing without being doctrinaire, and consistently exceeds expectations with its seasonally-changing, modern British cooking focused on seafood. In summer, the sunny terrace in subtropical gardens with its stupendous vista may well be the loveliest place in Britain.
