The Driftwood Spars St. Agnes, Cornwall, TR5 0RT

  • 15 bedrooms

Comfortable Bedrooms moments from the Beach

If your idea of a Cornish break involves sea air, coastal walks and a good pint at the end of the day, The Driftwood Spars puts you in just the right place. Known locally as The Drifty, this popular pub sits in Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes, only a couple of hundred yards from the beach and directly beside the South West Coast Path. The 15 en-suite bedrooms keep things comfortable and unfussy, with some offering sea views and others family accommodation. Best of all for beer lovers, the pub has its own microbrewery just across the road, meaning some of the ales at the bar have travelled only a few yards before reaching your glass.

Bedrooms

After a day on the beach or a few hours tackling the South West Coast Path, The Driftwood Spars’ 15 en-suite bedrooms provide a comfortable place to put your feet up. The accommodation is split between the historic main building and a separate annexe across the road. There is a useful mix of rooms too including doubles, twins, a single room and family accommodation. Dogs are welcome on request, with prior acknowledgement – additional charges apply.

Food & Drink

There are not many pubs where the fish can come from the cove outside and the beer from a brewery across the road. At The Driftwood Spars, keeping things local is very much part of the appeal. Expect regularly changing specials alongside pub favourites and a roast on Sundays. The dining room has views towards the sea, while the pub’s three bars and wood-burning stoves provide a cosier alternative when the Cornish weather encourages you indoors. Beer is particularly close to home. Driftwood Spars Brewery sits just yards away and has been brewing in St Agnes since 2000. Its small-batch beers include names inspired by the surrounding coastline and local stories.
