Cornwall’s pub scene is legendary, blending hearty ales, fresh seafood, and warm hospitality in historic settings. If you’re basing yourself at Woods 2 Waves in Bolingey, you’re steps away from some of the best. Our retreat’s location, just 200 meters from the nearest pub, makes it easy to enjoy a pint after exploring the area’s trails and beaches. Here’s a spotlight on local favourites, starting with the closest gem.
The Bolingey Inn, a mere 200-metre stroll from our gate, is a classic old coaching inn in a rural hamlet. It serves up good quality homemade food, from breakfast (8:30-11:30 Monday to Saturday) to evening meals, paired with beautiful fresh beers. Under new management, it’s praised for its delicious dishes like blue cheese specials, friendly atmosphere, and efficient service. Catch live sports here, like football matches, or simply relax in its pleasant country vibe that’s not too far from Perranporth town.
Venture a bit further into Perranporth (about a 15-minute walk along the Saints Trail from Woods 2 Waves), and you’ll find more options. The Tywarnhayle Inn offers traditional pub grub with sea views, while The Green Parrot is known for its lively atmosphere and local ales. For something unique, head to The Seiners Arms on Perranporth Beach, where you can enjoy drinks overlooking the 3-mile sandy stretch which is perfect after a day of surfing or hiking.
These pubs aren’t just about drinks; they’re hubs for Cornish culture. Many feature live music, quiz nights, and seasonal events, reflecting the region’s rich history. At Woods 2 Waves, we recommend pairing your pub visits with our on-site amenities; return to your safari tent or shepherd hut for a quiet evening under starry skies.
Whether you’re toasting a coastal hike or unwinding post-adventure, Bolingey and Perranporth’s pubs offer authentic experiences. Check our FAQ at woods2waves.co.uk for more tips, and book your stay to make these spots your local haunts.
