Unwind by the bay

The Bay Hotel, Coverack, is a place of peace, a restful retreat where guests can take the time to relax and unwind.

Combining décor inspired by nature with a warm Cornish welcome, the hotel occupies an elevated position with spectacular views over Coverack Bay and its historic working harbour. The 14 bedrooms each have their own style, with the comfiest of beds made up with the softest Egyptian cotton linens. 

Such is the hotel’s proximity to the sea, a morning dip is often the order of the day before a hearty Cornish breakfast, which can be enjoyed on the terrace if the weather’s fine. Those looking for a little more independence can enjoy a self-catering stay in the hotel’s Sea Pod, with its own garden, well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and large double bedroom. 

All are welcome, including four-legged friends, who even get their own bespoke welcome pack on arrival containing some tasty handmade Cornish dog biscuits and a voucher for Scoffs Doggy Ice Cream. 

The hotel’s Hevva restaurant, named for the rousing cry of the huers whose job it was to watch for the tell-tale signs of pilchard shoals, features fish and shellfish in abundance, much of it sourced from Coverack’s local fishing fleet. Lobsters and Cornish king crab couldn’t be fresher, supplied by Lew who lives just next door, while local hake,
line-caught mackerel and Fal oysters all grace the dinner menu, which is carefully curated for seasonality. While dogs are not allowed in Hevva, guests with four-legged friends are welcome to dine in the lounge bar, on the sunny terrace or simply relax amongst the nodding agapanthus in the gardens. An All-Day Bar Food menu offers a selection of seasonal dishes or why not try a traditional Cornish Cream Tea with homemade scones?  A specially selected wine list features organic and bio-dynamic wines while the bar stocks a range of Cornish beers and ciders. 

The Bay is a South West Coast Path passport stamping site, such is its proximity to this well-trodden route which is perfect for when it’s walkie time. Or, tide-dependent, Coverack’s dog-friendly beach is just a ball throw away! After a day out and about exploring all that the area has to offer, you’re sure to need to refuel – we can highly recommend a visit.
