The Times wrote: “Just south of St Austell in Cornwall, Charlestown’s pocket-sized port has doubled as a film set for nearly a century, and now it has a pub with rooms worthy of the setting. Reopened in June 2024 after a top-to-bottom refit, the Pier House stands like a beacon above a tight little knot of schooners and stout granite quays and delivers on its promise of storm-proof hospitality with classy sage green and strawberry bedrooms, posh pub grub and pints of Proper Job IPA. If you’re harbouring thoughts of a stirring seaside break, plot a course towards it.” Overall score 8/10

Food & Drink

Dining at the Pier House makes the most of its spectacular harbour setting. The menus feature a mix of classic pub dishes and seasonal specials, often highlighting fresh seafood and locally sourced Cornish produce. Breakfast is served each morning for overnight guests, while lunch and dinner menus offer everything from comforting favourites to lighter coastal-inspired plates.
