The Inn on the Shore is a beautifully refurbished 17th-century coastal inn located in Downderry, a peaceful village on the South East Cornwall coast. Overlooking the beach, the inn offers panoramic views stretching from Rame Head to Looe Island, making it a perfect base for exploring Cornwall’s rugged coastline and scenic walking trails.
Our eight en-suite bedrooms are individually styled with contemporary furnishings, and many feature stunning sea views. Guests can enjoy a traditional full English breakfast made with locally sourced produce, alongside lighter options and fresh coffee. Please note breakfast is not included in the room rate.
The pub features a spacious outdoor terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and sunset drinks. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming bar serving local ales, wines, and spirits, and a restaurant offering classic British dishes and fresh seafood. Live entertainment and seasonal events add to the vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere.
We welcome well-behaved dogs in the pub and in three designated bedrooms (one dog per room, pet fee applies). Families are also catered for, with cots available on request. Additional services such as wine or champagne in-room, beach picnics, or restaurant reservations can be arranged in advance.
Nearby attractions include the historic fishing town of Looe, the South West Coast Path, Whitsand Bay, Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, and the Eden Project. Whether you're here for a romantic escape, a family holiday, or a walking adventure, The Inn on the Shore offers authentic Cornish hospitality in a truly breathtaking setting.
