Situated in the centre of Pentewan, overlooking the village square 'The Cove' is Pentewan's premier bed and breakfast provider, although it is more like a small family run hotel. Guests have their own lounge area with leather settees to relax into and enjoy a drink or read a book.
The property dates from the 17th century and has been extended and modernised over the decades but still retains its character and charm. In the past it was originally a couple of cottages then the village Pub, (the Hawkins Arms) a Post office, Chandlers, Restaurant, and now a Café / Guest house.

Whether on foot, bike or by car, not only are we just a few minutes level walk to the safe sandy beach, but Pentewan is centrally placed to base yourselves and explore both North and South, East and West coasts or to stay near but not with close friends or family that are staying on Pentewan Sands Camp Site. For those guests that arrive by train to St.Austell railway / bus station, a short taxi ride will bring you into the village. Once in Pentewan bikes can be hired locally, if required, to explore the area or buses link Pentewan with St.Austell and Mevagissey.
However the village is well served having a local pub 'The Ship Inn', Simply Jude's bistro, church with a 9am Sunday service (bell sounds the start), Post Office situated at the local garage / general store. The South West Coast path runs through the village as well as the 'Pentewan Way' cycle trail.
It's only 1 mile to the fishing village of Mevagissey, from where you can catch the Mevagissey / Fowey ferry that is a popular way to not only get to Daphne Du Maurier's Fowey but you also get to see a different view of our splendid coast line. We are but 1.5 miles away from the popular 'Lost Gardens of Heligan' and 7 miles from the internationally renowned 'Eden Project'.
The historical port of Charlestown (popular with film crews with credentials of 'The Eagle has landed', 'Hornblower', 'The Three Musketeers' to name but a few and the base of 'Square Sail' ships) is some 3 miles distance or a 2-3 hour walk along the coastal path. The popular villages such as Looe and Polperro are just the other side of Fowey. The county's capital 'Truro' (where the river trickles along the sides of the streets) is not far and beyond that the port of Falmouth, Penzance and St. Ives.
