Nearby pub

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

You will find both a traditional pub and Oceanview restaurant here serving a wide range of food. With outside seating and views of the sea it's a popular place to sit and watch the world go by. Parking is limited and it does get busy in summer. A good stopping off point for coastal path walkers.

We enjoyed many drinks in the garden looking over the views. Booked in for dinner one night and glad we went early for the fish pie as shortly after they had sold out. Really lovely staff who worked hard keeping all the tourists (which I was one) happy. We hope to come back to Coverack and have many more drinks and food here.

Pub in a time warp

Just at the moment during the Covid Pandemic I cannot recommend this pub. The food is good but most of the visitors are not complying with the safety advice. There is a supposed one way system, but no one uses it. It is too busy - for now as a tourist I would avoid it.
In previous years pre - Covid I have loved this place.

Nearby beach

This little cove changes with the seasons and conditions - it can be a beautiful white sandy beach, alternatively many boulders and stones wash up with the tide painting quite a different picture! There are always a number of rock pools to be explored.

Nearby walk

From Coverack there is a lovely circular walk along the coastal path to Chynhalls Point and Black Head, and then turning inland to walk across fields and country lanes back to the village.

Walk now incomplete

There is no longer a footpath in-between Black Head and Beagle Point for the circular walk as the farmer closed the 'permitted' footpath due to inconsiderate walkers in 2018. There is a shorter circular walk back through the sculpture park when coming up from the cliff path, well signposted.

There is a good sandy beach at low tide just beyond Chynhalls Point (Porthbeor Cove or Mears Beach). The coast path beyond here is quite rough going and overgrown in places but the coastal views are lovely. The return along the alternative coast path is much easier and passes the excellent Sculpture Park.

Chocolate-box pretty, Coverack has everything you want in a Cornish village - a picture-postcard harbour, a crescent of sandy beach and a friendly pub. Car parking is limited and it's best to use the pay and display on the outskirts of the village and walk in. You'll find several cafes serving food all day during high season.

We arrived at Coverack whilst the sun was shining (briefly) and it was beautiful. Our young children couldn't wait to get down to the sandy beach. It was a really safe beach with a small 'stream' running down it in which they happily paddled. Rock pools were plentiful and the best entertainment for our boys. A cafe just above the beach did great take out tea/ coffee.

Coverack is a lovely village with a pub, restaurants, cafes, shops and a lovely beach, its a great place to stay. There are good coastal walks from the village and a nice inland walk to St Keverne, where there are a couple of pubs, restaurant, shop and Roskilly's Farm (gorgeous organic icecream).
Highly recommend to stay or visit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Lovely cafe as well and there's also a cafe on the beach.

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.

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.

Probably the most photographed beach in the area - the rugged, rocky coastline, caves and gleaming white sand make it one of Cornwall’s prettiest, take note though, the beach is totally covered at high tide. National Trust car parking is available with access to the beach via a steep gravelled path. Cafe and toilets are available during the summer months.

Kynance Cove

This is a stunning beach to visit. Be sure to arrive early in summer months so as to get into the car park nearest the beach, otherwise, it's a long walk from the overflow car park! It's well worth the early start and walk to the beach though, the views are stunning. Worth checking tides before you go so you can ensure you make the most of the beach at low tide.

Gorgeous dramatic beach but time your visit carefully as at high tide there is no beach. Also dogs not allowed on beach in summer as National Trust so have to stay in cafe.

Busy and you’ll need change for carpark

We knew it would be busy but hadn’t appreciated quite how much. You cannot take dogs onto the cove and trailers are not allowed in carpark they’re pretty strict so don’t try and sneak in! It’s very organised with lots volunteers and go with change for car park, although it suggests there is a signal, behind the main hut so you can pay by phone it’s not the case, signal v poor.

Best Beach on the Lizard

Whilst some don't rate this beach due to the steep walks down to and back up from the beach and the fact that there is no beach left at high tide, in our opinion it is the best beach on the Lizard and definitely worth a visit.
To avoid having to carry too much don't worry about packing lunch as the cafe there is excellent and has loads of different options from jackets to toasties, cream teas and of course pasties.
The advantage of high tide covering the whole beach is that the sand is always pristinely clean and great for making castles!
The sea is usually pretty calm but fairly cold in comparison with others locally, dolphins are often seen in the waters and fish in the cove round the back of the caves - great for snorkelling.
Toilets on this beach are spotlessly clean too which is a bonus.

The best Beach

One of probably the best beaches in the UK if not Europe and further afield. Spectacular either when calm or during a storm. The pristine sand is cleaned by each high tide and if you make the effort in checking your tide times, fancy a paddle, and get there about an hour before low tide, you could be the first to make your footprints in the untouched sand. A brilliant National Trust cafe where you can get to eat (in my opinion) the best British bacon butty (even though its in a baguette) plus the view to relish. My other half recommends the crab sandwich. And we both say mmmmm to the cream teas. And then you can exercise it all off with the coast walks north or south.

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.

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.

Lovely, welcoming pub

We’ve had several meals here, plus visits just for a pint. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly! Very dog friendly, just a very lovely, traditional pub, well worth a visit, or two.

Lovely local pub

This local inn is in the very centre of Cadgwith Cove, right opposite the fishing boats - the produce could not be fresher! We had both lunch and supper here during our stay and both meals were delicious. The landlords and staff were very friendly and professional, even during busy periods they had smiles on their faces and welcome everyone in. On a Friday night you are treated to local sea shanty singing! The pub is very much a social hub for the area which is great to see, and there are also gin tasting events, pub quiz and folk music nights too. Highly recommend the food and local Cornish gins. A really great pub which seems to hold itself to very high standards. Will definitely return.

Lovely traditional pub.

Nice friendly pub, seafood chowder was lovely. Closed on Wednesday and Thursday but not sure if as a result of Covid 19. Need to book if you want to eat there.
Cadgwith Cove Singers couldn't sing in the pub itself but sang shanties on Friday from a shack on the beach and people stood outside to listen.

Due to Covid restrictions had to ensure we booked in advance but so glad we did.
Delicious food and staff went out of their way to explain procedures but yet still ensure we could relax and enjoy our time at the pub.

Five star food and friendliness

We ate here three times during a week's holiday in Cadgwith and were impressed by the food and warm welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed folk night on Tuesday and can highly recommend the fresh fish dishes on the specials menu - and the sticky toffee pudding! Really added to our holiday.

Can Be Hit or Miss ! !

Fabulous location with roaring fires in the winter and sun terrace. However, the quality of food and the welcome can vary! Not the best value in the area, but Folk Night on Tuesdays and Cadgwith Singers on Fridays (10pm onwards ) always good fun.

Singing by the Sea

Both in and out of season an excellent local pub with good food and plenty of atmosphere and lots of colourful characters! Tuesday nights is folk night - so bring an instrument and join in. Fridays come and listen to the Cadgwith Singers sing the odd shanty or three.
Tables are bookable for food - definitely recommended in season.
