The Lugger

Jane's verdict

Nestling around Portloe waterfront, The Lugger is one of Cornwall’s most romantic hideaways. A new Cottage Suite sits up on the pathway from the main building with Atlantic views and a sun-drenched private patio. Inside there’s a large bedroom, a lounge with cosy log burner and kitchen, so you can hole up in wedded bliss.

The Lugger Hotel says

One of south Cornwall’s most idyllic small hideaways, The Lugger is located on the water’s edge in the tiny fishing village of Portloe, right in the heart of the stunning Roseland Peninsular.

Once a 17th century  smugglers’ inn, The Lugger promises authentic Cornish charm and character. Combine that with our chic boutique interiors including 22 heavenly bedrooms in New England style – cream shutters, bleached Portuguese wood furniture and crisp white linens.

Honeymooners will find the clifftop Cottage Suite hard to resist. It’s completely private; formerly a fisherman’s cottage, it’s set high over the water with staggering views over the Atlantic. Relax on your private patio, perhaps over a glass of champagne as the sun sets, before heading along the clifftop path to the hotel for a sumptuous dinner in our award-winning restaurant.

Visitors and locals flock to the Lugger Restaurant, especially renowned for the freshest seafood; sit out on the seafront terrace or cosy up inside. Head Chef Didier Bienaime personally selects the best crab, lobster and fish from the fishing boats which drop by his door each day. We’ve already earned an AA Rosette for Excellence.

We’re surrounded by the headlands which form part of the Cornish Coastal Footpath with sheltered coves or golden sand beaches around every corner. Take a picnic to your favourite spot or explore the local pubs, art galleries and beautiful gardens. Relax back at base with a pampering spa treatment.
