Mr Wolfe’s review of The Nare

  • Privately owned
  • Beautiful location
  • Superb service
  • Dog-friendly

The Oslo Court of country hotels, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Cocktails, jacketed men, sherry before dinner, coronation chicken sandwiches and food that has proudly declined to leave the 1980s. Where other country hotels modernised and failed, The Nare has thrived on trusted instincts.

It sits above a perfect Cornish beach on the Roseland peninsula, and the staff have been there long enough to know how you take your tea. Take the sleeper down and save the four thousand pounds you would have spent at The Newt. Dogs are welcomed like old regulars.
