Welcome to The Nare - a luxury 5 star country house hotel on the south coast of Cornwall, South West England
Cornwall is known for its natural beauty - picturesque rural landscapes, stunning sandy beaches and dramatic coastal scenery. Explore cobbled streets of its tiny fishing villages that meet the sea with idyllic harbours, or explore the world famous South West Coastal Path which offers spectacular views along its 430 miles of coastline. Cornwall’s sub-tropical climate offers mild days and lush gardens, including the world famous Cornish Gardens as seen below.
Cornwall also offers visitors the chance to enjoy a rich taste of historic England with its 13th century churches, medieval castles and thatched cottages. In fact Cornwall has more historic sites than anywhere else in the UK and has plenty of the traditional charm of old England.
Cornwall also has a rich industrial heritage and was once the mining capital of the world. Visitors can literally go underground to explore the 18th century Poldark Mine, as featured in the hit TV drama filmed in Cornwall, which has been fully restored and provides fascinating tours.
It was along the banks of the mysterious Fal River that General Eisenhower and his US troops secretly camped during the Second World War. They departed from Cornwall to join the historic battle on Normandy beach in what became known as the D-Day landings.
Finally the landscapes and seascapes of Cornwall have stirred the imagination of artists for generations. Travelers will find numerous wonderful art galleries to visit across the county, including the Tate St Ives, the cousin of the famous Tate Modern in London.
The Nare is a 5 star, and quintessentially British, country house hotel by the sea.
