The Basset Arms is a short stroll from the beach and harbour in Portreath and brings a fresh, contemporary feel to the classic Cornish coastal inn. Set within a historic 18th-century building, the pub has been beautifully renovated, carefully retaining its traditional character while introducing stylish boutique bedrooms and a food-led approach. Portreath Beach is around five minutes away on foot, while the South West Coast Path passes close to the pub, opening up dramatic cliff-top walks towards Basset’s Cove and Tehidy. Portreath’s surfing, harbour and rich mining heritage add plenty more to discover without needing to travel far. Whether you are planning a walking holiday, romantic getaway or a food-led coastal escape, The Basset Arms puts good food, gorgeous rooms and the rugged north Cornish coastline right at the heart of the stay.

Bedrooms
After a day beside the sea, the boutique bedrooms at The Basset Arms offer a stylish and comfortable place to retreat. Beautifully refurbished, the rooms have a relaxed contemporary feel, with thoughtful touches that bring a little extra luxury to a Cornish pub stay. Choose from double and double/twin rooms. Each en-suite room comes with organic toiletries, soft, fluffy towels, tea & coffee, and complimentary WiFi. Dogs are welcome on request with prior acknowledgement in one of their rooms. In the morning, wake up to a hearty Cornish breakfast before heading down to Portreath Beach or setting off along the South West Coast Path.
Food & Drink
Food at The Basset Arms celebrates Cornwall’s farmers, specialist butchers and fishermen, with seasonal menus making the most of produce from the county and its surrounding waters. The approach is gastro-pub dining without losing sight of familiar favourites, combining Cornish ingredients with contemporary flavours. Traditional Cornish cream teas are served during the afternoon, while Sunday brings its own menu and plenty of opportunity for a leisurely roast by the coast. The bar offers ales, wines, spirits and cocktails, with Cornish choices appearing throughout the drinks list.
