Good honest pub grub
Quirky pub, with honest home made pub grub, fine if you just don't want to cook yourselves, but if wanting a more special night out there are probably other places in the village I'd go....
October 2014
Middle town situated pub
We drank in here almost every night,they have sky sports so it can get busy,dogs are allowed in,they have a good selection of ales and beers,plenty of rear parking,meals are excellent and the bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Nearby beach
St Agnes’ pride and joy, Trevaunance Cove boasts the dramatic aesthetics typical of Cornwall’s north coast. Soaring cliffs and golden sands are complemented by a labyrinth of caves and the almighty Atlantic lapping at its shores. Popular amongst families and sport-lovers alike, Trevaunance Cove is not one to forget.

Schooners - A 'must not miss'!....
Bag a prime seat overlooking the beautiful Trevaunance Cove, incredible views from this fabulous place.
Serves just the best pizzas cooked in their stone oven, accompanied with a superb selection of beers/wines etc.
Under new ownership and the management team are super friendly, just a fabulous relaxed place to visit (and love dogs!)....

Fantastic path views were stunning
August 2022
Incredibly stunning views
The coastal walk is one not to miss. The views are amazing and the cliff walks are so beautiful and interesting with the remains of the mines. Fantastic!
September 2019
Local Walk
Great clean fresh air, lovely walking along the coastal paths
Nearby town
St Agnes lies in the heart of Cornwall’s mining heritage; all along the coast here you’ll see old mining engine houses rising from the cliffs. The steep and narrow streets here are lined with almost unbearably quaint, higgledy-piggledy cottages.

Lovely village great shops lovely places to eat. Especially Taphouse
April 2024
Fabulous Cornish Coastal Village
Just has everything you could want., beautiful beach, lots of great eateries and not over commercialised, fantastic...., just a couple of highlights:
Seafood Deli Restaurant - if you want the freshest, locally sourced, home cooked food to the very highest standard in a relaxed informal atmosphere, this place is a must, we loved it so much we ate here twice during our short stay.
The Taphouse - Very cool, retro
August 2022
Favourite area
We spent a morning exploring the village and found delightful shops, eateries and interesting areas of history and beauty. I can recommend a good walk around to see everything.
August 2020
Perfect local village
Has everything you could need, great Pop up Thai restaurant on beach road (wed and sat) pizzeria very good. Everything is in walking distance. Bakery is amazing - don’t miss out on the sausage rolls! Beach is fab for surfing, belly boarding, rock pooling! Highly recommend this little chill out zone!
September 2019
St Agnes - proper community village
St Agnes Hotel - great pub with good ales.
Local Butcher and 2 veg shops along with 2 small convenience stores.
Local Pizza place - is seriously good. Handmade and made while you wait. Top gasto quality.
Local buses will get you out and about - just check the times.
Miners and Mechanics Institute - have lots of local things going on.
St Agnes Brass Band - always worth a listen to if they are playing.
June 2017
Beautiful little town.
A beautiful town with very friendly people, great fish and chips and perfect location for accessing the nearby beach.
Especially recommend the lovely ladies in the flower shop.
Also nearby
A beach cafe in the most rustic sense - a beachside shed with some outdoor seating. It is a National Trust-owned hut, but run by a local couple who provide 'Feast Nights' - now made famous by their appearance on ITV's 'Cornwall with Caroline Quentin'. You need to buy tickets, but the hut is generally open to everyone, except during the winter, so check times on their Web site.
October 2024
Stunning in every way
Wonderful outdoor dining overlooking the beach. Unmissable. An easy walk over uneven paths.
June 2024
What a gem
Found this on our 2nd visit to the beach as so well hidden. Great quality interesting food and drink. A proper oasis
June 2024
Hidden Hut
This truly is a hidden gem
October 2023
Hidden hut
After a short walk along the coast, perfect place to eat overlooking the sea, great food choices and they're delicious.
October 2023
Pasties!
Walked the short distance from Gerrans to here and enjoyed a pasty in the sun looking out to sea. Yummy!
September 2023
Madelaine

Love it!
Great location, food excellent, friendly and welcoming.

Lovely food.
Locally cooked food a must if you are visiting this beach.
September 2022
Beware under-cooked brownies
Stomach upset after a coffee and undercooked brownie at the Hidden Hut in June.
August 2022
Over priced
Expensive, long queues, not very friendly. take your own refreshments or buy from friendly shop in Portscatho
August 2022
Best Tomato soup ever tested
Wow what a place! Nestled behind the beach and within walking distance. Absolutely amazing food, the menu is mouthwatering! Don’t be put off by the queues, service is very quick. We had the tomato soup and it was ‘the best tomato’s soup ever tasted’ ! Such amazing flavours! Definitely worth a visit! Beautiful views too! Well done the hidden hut and keep up the good work!
June 2022
A lovely experience
We can now see why this place is so popular! The service is excellent very friendly staff who take a minute to ask you about your visit while serving you. The food is beautifly cooked all be it presented in a takeaway box or cup the taste is incredible. My husband opted for the smoked beef chilli I had the Dahl served with flat bread both delicious. It was towards the end of our holiday otherwise we would have had lunch there every day.
March 2022
visited in March
Windy, sunny and busyish. Interesting changing lunch menu which comes in cartons you can take away or eat on site. Also usual snacks and drinks. No need to book in March.
October 2021
Hidden Gem
Lovely little walk from the car park where you come across some steps, if you then take the steps immediately going up you then come across the stunning Hidden Hut, where the food is fantastic, may be a little pricey, but so worth it, especially sitting on the benches
October 2021
Amazing
We visited the Hidden Hut whilst on holiday last week. Gorgeous food. We had the watercress soup which was scrumptious. Really recommend a visit.
October 2020
Hidden
What a surprise . Very popular so be prepared to queue but you can enjoy the view of Porthcurnick beach and headland.
Excellent customer service.
September 2020
Very interesting
Worth a little walk.
Very enterprising!
November 2019
A little gem
What a wonderful beachside find. It is super popular now so expect to queue, but it's is completely worth it with exceptional food, and a great beachside location. You won't regret a day out here. Check the website for opening times/days.
September 2019
Great food overlooking the beach
Not just another beach front cafe. This place is possibly the best beach cafe/restaurant going. Great food and atmosphere. Really hits the spot. You will not be disappointed and worth the effort.
August 2019
Mrs Jarvis
Really fantastic food, great service (despite the length of the queue). You must visit!
June 2019
Perfect situation and great food
If you didn’t already know it, this a now a justly famous spit just above a lovely Cornish beach.
Splendid food - some fusion inspired and some more typical local Cornish. Great atmosphere. Also they have now a great Hidden Hut cookbook. Such a happy mix of photos and recipes!
April 2019
lush nosh
definitely recommend for a yummy beachside lunch
August 2017
Being relatively local to the area, we felt it was time to see if this often-mentioned beach cafe lived up to it's reputation....and it did! On a sunny August Sunday, the beach was busy and so was the Hidden Hut. Be prepared to queue - for quite a while - but once you've selected which of the mouthwatering options to go for, you've plenty of choice of places to sit and enjoy the really well cooked food and the amazing location. No doubt this will be the first of many visits to come!
November 2016
Wonderful location
Perfect for coffee and cake, overlooking Porthcurnick beach.
November 2016
Stunning place for a delicious lunch! Pricey but great quality. Locally sourced and freshly made. Busy on Bank holidays but worth the queue. Soups are always fabulous as are the pasties, pulled pork baps and sausage rolls. We were lucky enough to get tickets for a feast night once and it was a most memorable and special event. Check out their Facebook page https://en-gb.facebook.com/thehiddenhut/
Family and dog-friendly, Trebah covers 26 acres, converting a small corner of Cornwall into a sub-tropical paradise. Located above the Helford River, every inch of Trebah is covered by lush vegetation, with 100-year old rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias kicking off the season with an explosion of colour.

A Must See Garden

May 2024
My Favourite Garden
Really lovely garden packed with Rhododendrons and Azaleas, Bluebells and wonderful trees (late April/May) running down a hidden valley to the sea.
October 2023
Colour
Visited in late September which meant Autumn colours hadn't kicked in but summer colour in the main gardens had gone over apart from the hydrangeas. Beautiful colour though in the court garden.
Lovely walk down to the beach where we enjoyed an ice cream looking out to sea.
September 2023
Mrs Wolfson
A privately owned stunning garden. There is now a footpath for wheelchairs right down to the beach. Interesting history as American troops embarked from there for the D day landings.
March 2023
Exotic dog friendly garden
Trebah is a wonderful exotic lush estate in a sheltered valley leading to a delightful small beach, where the water is crystal clear and blue. Paths cross cross the valley making it easy to view the gardens from different angles. Marvellous variety of plants and trees. It's dog friendly, as also is the cafe, which is light and airy, serving tasty food. In Feb 2023, a new walled garden was being constructed, which looks most attractive.
August 2022
Stunning
Gorgeous gardens with tall trees, amazing bamboo and hydrangeas and it’s own beach on the Helford river! Dog friendly, lots of different paths and routes and lovely ice cream on the beach! If it’s a lovely day take your swimming stuff, the beach was akin to a Greek beach, yachts and dinghy’s and clear water! Take your beach shoes!!
August 2022
Wonderful garden
This beautiful garden is a must-see.
June 2022
Just wonderful

April 2022
Lovely day out
We had a lovely day at Trebah in March. There were lots of colourful Spring plants including all the rhododendrons, camelias and magnolias, and a sea of fascinating gunneras that were starting to come out. When they are fully grown, the leaves can reach 2.5m across and there is a gunnera passage where you could walk underneath them. There’s also some giant bamboo and many interesting paths up and and down to the beach. We had a lovely lunch in the cafe and all in all, a great day out. Check the website and make sure you book in advance as they were only accepting pre-booked visitors. Also check the cafe closing time on the beach (ice creams etc) as it closed at 3pm when we were there.
March 2022
Wonderful exotic gardens
We visited in February and were surprised by how warm and mild the atmosphere was in the gardens. What a wonderful variety of plants, shrubs and trees! well laid out paths allow the visitor to wander around the grounds to access different view points. The beach at the bottom of the valley was a lovely surprise. We particularly liked the water feature cascading down the valley.
Excellent cafe in a delightful light and airy modern building. The entry fee is reasonable and good value for money.
September 2021
An enjoyable afternoon out
Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Trebah, September was a good time to visit as the hydrangeas were flowering beautifully. The beach was lovely as was the delicious ice cream!
September 2020
A disabled persons opinion
I was really looking forward to visiting Trebah but was really disappointed, I was only able to go out of the reception building in my wheelchair when I was faced with the most sever decline and was told that it was like that all the way. It was very unsafe for me to go any further, so had to turn round and go out of the gardens
August 2020
Beautiful gardens and beach
Well worth a visit. Really incredibly, calming gardens with excellent covid measures in place to feel safe. The private beach is just lovely, worth the short queue to get in (controlled by a traffic light system to ensure not too many people are on it are time). Nice cafe with gluten free options. A very good day out, would highly recommend.
May 2020
Best gardens to visit in the area
If you like to visit gardens then this is one of the very best in the area. We prefer it to the nearby Glendurgan gardens, though Glendurgan is run by the National Trust so you can get in for free if you are a member.
November 2019
LES CALDER
Excellent lovely gardens which as NT members (although Trebah is privately owned)
out of high season, can be viewed for very reasonable cost.
Best more natural gardens in the area in my view.
September 2019
Wonderful Gardens leading down to a lovely beach.
These gardens are truly fascinating and beautiful. We loved that the dog was welcome even in the cafe and the food and drink were all really good, healthy, well prepared and delicious.
September 2019
Impressive gardens and picturesque beach
Beautiful gardens. Very pleasant staff and good food. The private beach was very picturesque. Would recommend.
September 2015
You won't be disappointed
What a wonderful place to lose yourself in nature discovering plants I had never seen before and some looked like they stepped out of Jurassic Park! We stayed into the evening for a fantastic Miracle Theatre production in the Amphitheatre called The Magnificent Three which was absolutely brilliant, great story, great cast and highly recommended, I will be looking out for their next production. Overall a very pleasing day with ice cream on the beach too, what more could you want!
July 2014
A mini paradise
This was such a wonderful find. A complete tropical paradise hidden away down the creek. You really feel like you have disappeared to a magical world here and it's a great place to escape. Beautiful water gardens and walks through the woods, which eventually lead down to a private secluded beach. Would happily come here time and again. Lovely cafe as well and there's also a cafe on the beach.
July 2014
Nice family day out
We visited the gardens on Father's Day (three generations of us!) and it was a lovely day out. It was interesting seeing all the exotic plants and following the path through the gardens to the private beach at the end where an ice cream sat on the beach is a must! The adventure play areas within the gardens were great for the kids.
June 2014
We hadn't heard about Trebah before we arrived but it proved to be a fabulous day out and the gardens were very special. Better than Eden in some ways and the weather on the day was perfect.
The walk down to the bay was superb. Also enjoyed the shop, cafe and garden centre.
May 2013
We have been to Trebah several times in the past, but the garden was at it's loveliest this time, with loads of spring flowers as well as the rhododendrons etc.
December 2012
I love trebah
Trebah is a brilliant day out, and the beach is gorgeous!!
September 2012
Trebah Garden
A really delightful garden with much to see. Although steep in places, there are plenty of benches to rest before venturing further.
The glimpse of the sea as you wend your way through the garden is really beautiful and really well worth the trip down to the bottom.
Well worth a visit time and time again.
June 2012
Gets better every time
We love Trebah Gardens, they are also dog friendly, though unfortunately we did see evidence that some dog owners were not respecting the fact that clearing up is a must if this is to continue. We really enjoy walking around the gardens and always spend at least three hours doing so. Always something different to see. Already looking forward to our next visit.
May 2012
We enjoyed that they are clearly continuing to develop and work on the garden in the 5 years since we last visited. Cafe very good and plenty of sheltered outdoor space. Plenty to see in May and an icecream on the beach was a great treat.
May 2012
Trebah Garden
Wonderful garden especially in May when we were there. A beach with a cafe half way round and the ubiquitous crab sandwiches in the cafe near the entrance. We could have spent a whole day here.
September 2011
A great place to visit. Even on a dull day this provided some great views and a fascinating range of plants. The beach was an added bonus. The restaurant provided a good range of dishes, including some gluten free choices.
September 2011
I can only endorse all that has been said before - the gardens are magical and inspirational, with a wonderful collection of hydrangeas as well as a magnificent bamboo thicket. The beach is a dear, with lovely views across the water.

Worth a visit, even on a wet day. The cream tea in the cafe was so good there is no chance it could ever be matched anywhere else. Enjoyed the shop too. We spent 2 hours in the property although it's not all that large, including time at the cafe. It's advisable to go early when it's really quiet.
August 2008
Suitable for young and old
I would recommend this garden for anyone. The walks around the garden can be taken at any pace and are endlessly fascinating for young children as well as older relatives. Even those who may not be as agile as they once were will be able to manage a good deal of the garden and there are plenty of places to stop, admire the view and rest. The staff are very helpful, always ready to discuss an unusual plant and the cafe is run by a group of very cheerful women, who provide simple but delicious food.
August 2008
A beautiful place, starting with formal gardens at the top, winding down through subtropical exotica to a small beach. We once went there on a winter's day where there was snow at the top of the garden and brilliant sunshine once you went through the doorway onto the beach; my children said it was like going into Narnia!

Walking
Trebah Gardens are excellent for all the family - there is also a beach below for children to explore. Kids can take part in the quiz as they walk around the gardens which makes for a more peaceful time for the parents!
A traditional pub in the heart of the village with a real fire. Under new ownership, pay them a call and say hello. Limited parking is available nearby and additional spaces can be found in nearby car parks.
October 2024
Excellent
This is a delightful place to visit whether you want a quick coffee or a three course meal. The staff are friendly and the welcome is warm. A great variety of drinks behind the bar and food from the kitchen.

Good food
Very good food and service at this pub. It is probably best to book for an evening meal, although you can order a takeaway and eat it on the pub benches to the front.
Parking is somewhat restricted but we were lucky to find a space.

Fantastic Sunday lunch
We have had Sunday lunch here 3 years running and it doesn’t ever disappoint. Booking essential for the Sunday lunch. Fantastic selection of meats- we always go for the beef. Fresh vegetables brought out and all at a reasonable price. Good service.
October 2023
Sunday Roast
Disappointed visit as table booked at 3.15 and they had sold out of roast dinners.
Don't make our mistake, book in advance and for earlier than 3.15.
As compensation we were treated to free desserts.

What a gem of a pub
Lovely pub, excellent food and great staff. We were warmly welcomed and soon made to feel part of the community. Efficient service with a great smile.

Serving homecooked, wholesome fare, with a log fire to snuggle up by in winter and a garden to go al fresco in summer. The Miners is located in Mithian village on the road from St Agnes to Perranporth.
