Part of the PoB Hotels collection, this stylish property is packed full of Cornish charm, with hand-picked antiques and traditional interiors while the gardens are fringed by palm trees and uninterrupted views of Carne Beach and the English Channel. A visit to the Spa at The Nare Hotel isn't to be missed, and access to it is included with all overnight stays. A highlight is the sea-view hot tub, the indoor pool with a jet stream and the selection of tailored treatments available using Dermalogica products. Guests of The Nare Hotel are invited to enjoy a private charter aboard the hotel's classic wooden motor boat, the Alice Rose, the perfect experience for honeymooners. During a bespoke sailing trip, explore the calm Cornish waters of the Fal and Helford Rivers, and discover the hidden beauty spots that are only accessible by boat. The team at The Nare has curated a full-day experience for guests that includes a delicious seafood picnic with Portloe lobster and local fish whilst at anchor in a quiet cove that is surrounded by one of the UK's most stunning Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The private charter is entirely bespoke and can accommodate guests' preferred routes or special occasions within the Roseland Peninsula. |
