The Gurnard's Head

Situated amidst the rugged beauty of Cornwall's Atlantic coast, The Gurnard's Head serves as a welcoming haven for travellers seeking both relaxation and culinary delight. Positioned between St Ives and St Just, near landmarks such as the Minack Theatre, Zennor, Penzance, and Newlyn, this dining pub with rooms offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. ​

The inn's culinary philosophy centres on simplicity and quality, with menus that change daily based on the freshest seasonal produce delivered to their doorstep. Dishes such as Fish Soup with Rouille in winter or a Ceviche of Sea Bass accompanied by foraged leaf salads in summer exemplify their commitment to showcasing local flavours. Guests can choose to dine in the cosy bar area, warmed by log fires and surrounded by a collection of Giles cartoon annuals, or in the vibrant red and blue dining room. During the warmer months, the expansive enclosed garden provides an idyllic setting for al fresco dining, where everything seems to come together perfectly. ​

Beyond its culinary offerings, The Gurnard's Head provides comfortable accommodations designed to ensure a restful stay. Each room is furnished with Vi-Spring beds and offers views of either the gorse-covered moorland or the foaming Atlantic, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area. The inn's location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the dramatic coastline that has inspired artists and walkers for centuries. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an active getaway, The Gurnard's Head invites you to experience the simple pleasures of life in one of England's most captivating regions.
