The Gurnard's Head

Lone yellow inn on the wildest stretch of the coast path

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A mustard coloured inn standing on its own on the road between St Ives and St Just, surrounded by moorland and the roughest, emptiest part of the South West Coast Path. Seven rooms, a serious kitchen and no television. Dogs sleep in the bedrooms and the charge is flat however many you bring. It suits walkers who want the hardest stretch of coast path in Cornwall starting at the gate.

Why it's in the collection

The South West Coast Path runs across the field in front of the inn, and the stretch from Zennor to Pendeen is the wildest and least walked in Cornwall. Gwynver and Sennen, about twenty minutes down the road, are the nearest real beaches, and Gwynver carries no dog restriction.

Best suited for

One flat dog charge for the stay no matter how many dogs come with you.

Dogs sleep in the bedrooms, though the inn would rather they didn't share the beds. The charge is the same whether you bring one dog or three. There is no beach at the inn itself, the coast here is cliff and moor.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
