Having been to the Nare on a few occasions to dine, but never stay, it is interesting to read the mixed reviews it receives. The Nare is in a stunning location in one of the most breathtaking parts of Cornwall. It is easy to appreciate why it has a loyal following from its, mainly elderly, residents. In my experience, the... More

Fresh crab sandwiches, the best french fries and views from the Quarterdeck to die for. A relaxed atmosphere, with attentive staff. Homemade icecream was creamy and melt in the mouth. The drive through the lanes should not be attempted in a hurry.

Reading Hemmick's disapproving review below, I am reminded of the excellent short holiday enjoyed by my partner and myself and our dogs at this hotel last summer. Our experience contrast sharply with that of Hemmick. We have never been looked after better at any hotel in the UK. We loved it and so did Benjy (our King Charles) and Victor... More

If you seek excellence in all respects, stay at the Nare. Faultless and attentive service - even a booking hiccup didn't faze them - wonderful location, spotless bedrooms and food to die for - I've never had better monkfish anywhere in the World than what I had at the Nare. My wife and I have frequently stayed at the Chewton... More

Went to visit Carne Bay Beach and came across the Nare Hotel. Went in just for tea and this was served in The Quarterdeck Restaurant. Did not go into the main Hotel, but our experience for this visit has left us keen to return. The service was excellent, even though they were still busy with lunch, the price of the... More

Have just got home from taking my 82 year old Mum here for afternoon tea as a Mother's Day treat, (working all day tomorrow!) and I must say I am disappointed with the experience. I am sure if you are a guest of this hotel you are treated with due respect and courtesy, but as a non-resident, I found the... More

Another trip to Cornwall to visit Mother-in-Law and the need to find somewhere we have yet to visit and suitable for Sunday lunch. Ma-in-Law’s friend who lives in Tregony was joining us for lunch, and so the search was focused east of Truro and the Nare became the clear choice. Pre dinner drinks were served in the lounge area as... More

I’m afraid I have little sympathy with the previous reviewer (Hemmick). Afternoon tea is at 4 pm; one does not eat cream teas for lunch in a hotel like The Nare. It is not a seaside “caff” where families with squalling children drop in in sweaty beachwear for tea and ice creams. Thank goodness an alert member of staff did... More

We went for a Sunday cream tea with our little girl. As we walked towards the front door a member of staff appeared out of nowhere and rather demanded "can I help you?!!" which took me by surprise! I said we were coming for tea and he insisted that we walk back the way we came to The Quarterdeck. I... More
