The Old Coastguard

Had lunch on a sunny weekday. There was space for us but I imagine they get full other times as it was very good. Staff were very nice and the food just fantastic. LOVED the house pickles, and the soup had grapes in it which was unusual but worked really well and I'm going to try to make them myself. Fish was fresh of course. Also very happy to find a good dry flat cider on tap.

This is a refuge for grown-ups. If you want "have-a-nice-day" staff and TV in your room to watch hotel porn, while getting unsociably sloshed from the mini-bar, then you are in the wrong place. The rooms are boutique, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. There's a decent radio and good wi-fi if you have to know what the world is doing, and a stack of books for bedtime reading. But for us, sitting out on the private terrace watching the blue, blue sea and the baby seagulls on the next door roof, before breakfast, was absolute bliss. ||||Food is at another level - amazing. Some of the menu might frighten gastropubbers, but have a bit of faith because it tastes wonderful. There's a lot of local produce, and that ties in with the subtle, but consistent (and grown-up), attempts the hotel makes to balance environmental concerns with providing luxury - something that is refreshing to note.||||But above all, it's the staff that make the place. There's nothing corporate about them - they are individuals, and allowed to take individual responsibility. So you don't get the "can't do, because there isn't a button on the till for it". You seem to be able to ask them anything, and they find a way to do it. We were there after a 2 year gap because of health issues, and the level of engagement, of thoughtfulness, and of simple human kindness shown, was worth more then everything else.

We had drinks there a few times and it was very nice. The menu is very fish based so not great if you're a carnivore. We weren't staying so no idea what the rooms are like.

Absolutely fantastic! Beautiful room with balcony overlooking St Clement's Isle, Mousehole harbour and St Michael's Mount. Food was very tasty and perfect size portions. Full Cornish breakfast included chef's own baked beans and ketchup. All the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We left with big smiles.

We went here to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, we were given a glass of bubbly each on the house on arrival, every single staff member that spoke to us wished us a happy anniversary. The food was absolutely incredible and the views were stunning. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Top notch

Really enjoyed staying here. Good location. Parking. The rooms and bathrooms are lovely. Great food. Superb location. But the best bit: the staff…all so polite, cheerful and incredibly helpful. Makes a difference. ||The garden looks like it would be brilliant in the summer and has a lovely walk along the shore and (short walk) to the harbour. ||There may be more charming places but I would definitely recommend a stay (and/or eating) here..

We didn’t want to stay at this hotel, but the pub in the village insisted on a minimum of 2 nights, and as we were walking the coast path that didn’t really work. But we’re glad we did. This was our favourite hotel on our whole walk. ||We turned up after a long, tiring day with a really filthy dog, worried we wouldn’t be let in. Asked for a hosepipe and were told not to worry, they’re very dog friendly and we could shower him in our room!||The hotel is so lovely. Breakfast was excellent. The view was gorgeous over the bay and St Michael’s Mount. ||We had booked to eat elsewhere, but kind of regret that as the dinner looked amazing too. ||We were on foot, but note there were several EV chargers in the car park for next time. ||Absolutely perfect hotel that I wish we’d had more time to enjoy.

Spent three nights dinner, bed and breakfast at The Coastguards as a party of 4. Lovely hotel with beautiful views. Amazing food. I can honestly say that there was not one course that did not impress all four of us. Delicious breakfasts too. Great service. Friendly, attentive staff. Very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Fabulous location overlooking the Ocean. Food is pricey in the evening but excellent quality

Lovely location and a nice place on a summer's afternoon to have a pint outside while the kids play on the lawn. The food is on the expensive side but what you pay for is what you get.

Great views pity about the staff Visited on a trip to Cornwall for Easter, lovely restaurant/bar with wonderful views all was great but the staff could have been more friendly, would post a photo here but was told NO PICTURES !!! by the staff.

We've stayed at the Old Coastguard Hotel over quite a number of years in late December to see the Mousehole Christmas lights and its a combination that really works for us(family of four) The rooms are fine, everything they should be, but the real appeal is the restaurant and the location. The hotel is right by the sea on Mounts Bay and the views are stunning and even at night you can hear the waves. The food is very fresh and modern, beautifully presented with decent veggie choices and of course good for local Newlyn fish. We've even taken photos of the desserts, they were works of art! But tasted good too. The decor of the restaurant is very stlylish and modern. Altogether it's a lovely place to use to visit this wonderful old fishing village.
