What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Nathan and Rachel Outlaw have turned this nine-room Victorian house into something well thought out and distinctly Cornish with sea views, local art, mismatched crockery, and an honesty bar for nightcaps.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The South West Coast Path passes the front door, and the historic harbour sits a short walk downhill.
The rooms
Rooms hold Cornish pottery and coastal art, and several open onto private balconies looking across the bay.
At the table
Outlaw's Bistro serves fresh seafood beneath a painted blue shark. Mornings bring house-baked pastries and warm kedgeree by the coastal windows.
How it began
The seafront house traded as the Stargazy Inn until 2022, when the Outlaws bought it independently to host visiting diners.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
