Traditional pub serving traditional menus and cask ales.
Travellers Rest, Trevarrian, Newquay, Cornwall (T:01637 861633)
Regrettably the pub is under new management and food was disappointing- as was the ‘local’s’ discount on drinks which was in effect a holiday makers ‘tax’ and hiked the price of our round (pint of cider and a white wine) from £10.35 to £11,70!! Bad business planning given that the establishment relies heavily on non local trade- prices considerably highly that other venues

Great place, good food, nice ambience.

The Merrymoor Inn
(2 miles)

For three generations of our family we have been creating dishes from the land & sea of Cornish Shores.
Our team of chefs led by a head chef John Fish pride themselves on using locally sourced fresh foods. Be it from the boats at Newlyn Harbour, cuts from our local butcher or fresh seasonal produce.
Forget any pretence, good food means good ingredients made into a dish worth eating.
By the beach, great views, good food & drinks and Cornish hospitality
it's that simple.
Merrymoor never disappoints- breakfasts are amassing staff friendly and accommodating- fabulous views from the terrace too
September 2023
We had a meal at the Merrymoor inn and the food is delicious. On booking they were really helpful in finding us a time to come even though extremely busy. Our waitress on the night was very professional and service was very smooth, we weren’t waiting ages for our food . Definitely returning next year but will book ahead.
August 2023
The Merrymore Inn was fantastic. The location was perfect and the food was amazing. We all agreed that the food was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this pub to everyone.

Fabulous.
September 2023
Mawgan Porth beach is amazing it’s less busy than Newquay beach but still has great waves for surfing. It’s a large sandy beach and it feels spacious. This beach is dog friendly all year round so it’s the perfect choice for families with fury friends. Plus the nearby pub and restaurant is also dog friendly.

Amazing beach! Easy access but had to be there before 10.30 to park on the car park closest to the beach. Loved this beach.

Thoroughly enjoyed being back in Chapel Cottage after quite a few years. Lovely new kitchen.
September 2022
Our stay was lovely, with the cottage providing great base and sanctuary after a day on the wind swept coast. The cottage location is perfect for that part of the north coast.
May 2022
We have stayed here five times over the years and as pleasant now as when we first visited
June 2019
Chapel Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage which I would recommend. St Mawgan is a beautiful pretty village and the people are so friendly and welcoming. I can recommend the tea room behind the village post office and store the food is fantastic. I have been to St Mawgan many times but it never fails to amaze me. St Mawgan has many walks round the area and is ideally situated for getting out and about visiting the many beautiful places in Cornwall
