Where we stayed

The St Tudy Inn is run by Emily Scott who took over what was the village pub in 2014 and turned it into one of the top 50 gastropubs in the UK. The food she serves has been the driver behind her success but last year she boosted the offering by converting a derelict barn into comfy accommodation. Our room (one of four) looked out over the church and was furnished in a light, informal style that felt like home, only less grubby and with more devices (USB plug sockets and a Nespresso machine). The pub itself has a roomy restaurant and a cosy bar selling food, ale and with a carefully chosen wine list (Emily’s husband has a vineyard in France). You’re wonderfully tucked away in the country here, but the sea is still in easy motoring distance.
