Cornwall's mild maritime climate provides the right conditions for many subtropical plants to thrive. Cornish gardens are therefore able to produce species from all over the world including the magnificent Cornish magnolia campbellii originally from the Himalayas. Cornish gardens are therefore considered to be amongst some of the finest in the world. Many beautiful Cornish gardens are within a short drive from the hotel. Concessionary tickets can be purchased at the hotel and private guided tours with head gardeners can be arranged for guests.
The Nare is positioned on the South West Coast Path with direct access from the hotel's gardens. One can choose to walk independently or book a private guided walk on any stretch of the Cornish coast path.
There are also numerous historic sights to visit on the Roseland and across Cornwall from 13th century churches, medieval castles, quaint fishing villages, beautiful beaches and some of the finest art galleries in the south west including the Tate Modern West.
Where can guests enjoy food and drink?
Guests have the luxury of dining in either the traditional Dining Room or the nautically styled Quarterdeck Restaurant. The Dining Room, with its magnificent sea views on three sides, and the Quarterdeck Restaurant, with its classical yachting décor and teak panelling, offer traditional English fare. The sea views are equally spectacular from the terrace which affords a delightfully sheltered suntrap, especially for breakfast in the summer.
Many guests appreciate the classic silver service and The Nare's renowned hors-d'œuvre trolley, flambés and homemade puddings.
