Cornwall Living

A Coastal Gem

British hospitality, infused with sea air and wrapped in unrivalled comfort.

Waking up on holiday – is there any feeling quite like it? No alarms. No rushing. Just the joy of being present and savouring the moment.

Now imagine waking to the shimmer of a blue sea, a salty breeze drifting through the open window, and the soft embrace of a bed dressed in luxurious linens. That, surely, is a morning to remember.

Tucked away on a secluded stretch of the Cornish coast, on the unspoilt Roseland Peninsula, stands The Nare – a five-star country house hotel by the sea. With its timeless interiors, graceful elegance, and rooms that offer some of the most breath taking sea views in the British Isles, The Nare is a true gem.

In an age drawn to minimalist design, The Nare proudly celebrates tradition, charm and warmth. However, whilst tradition is treasured, not everything at The Nare remains the same. The Quarterdeck Seafood Restaurant is The Nare’s new premier seafood restaurant, bringing contemporary flair to a classic setting. With sweeping views over Gerrans Bay, it offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere and a menu that celebrates Cornwall’s finest coastal bounty.

From the Cornish bluefin tuna raviolo to the inspired monkfish wellington, the dishes are a true celebration of the sea. But the crown jewel? The showstopping Fruits de Mer platter. A feast of oysters, whole lobster, crevettes, crab, mussels and scallops. Best enjoyed al fresco, paired with a chilled glass of Chablis, overlooking the glittering turquoise horizon.

Sustainability is at the heart of The Quarterdeck’s ethos. Hand-foraged ingredients like samphire, wild garlic and elderflower are used to complement the fresh, locally sourced seafood. The Nare also proudly supports ethical fishing practices through its partnership with the National Lobster Hatchery, contributing to the Buy One, Set One Free initiative.

For every lobster served, The Nare donates £1 to help raise and release baby lobsters back into local waters, helping preserve this delicacy for generations to come.
