With a cosy open fire and views across the pretty village square to St Peter’s, a 15th Century church, this traditional pub serves good quality food freshly prepared from locally sourced ingredients where possible. There is a range of cask conditioned ales on hand pump and a selection of fine wines. Children are welcome and there is a large beer garden.

Nearby beach

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Porthallow's once thriving fishing village is home to a picturesque pebble beach fringed with greenery-clad cliffs. Comprising of sand and pebble, the beach is still used by a small number of boats and is especially popular in the summer amongst water sports enthusiasts. With a car park found in the village and toilets nearby Porthallow Beach is a great choice if you are looking to enjoy rugged scenery. The pub is currently closed but there is a pop up pub in the village hall.

A Great Pit Stop

Whether enjoying a circular walk around the local countryside, or tackling the Coastal Path, Porthallow is a great place to stop for a breather. The village has unfortunately lost many local facilities, but you can still enjoy a drink and a bite to eat at The Five Pilchards. The brand new village hall, virtually on the beach, must have the best view of any village hall in Cornwall!

Nearby walk

Starting from the pretty fishing village of Porthallow, park on the pebbly beach and take the coastal path in an easterly direction.The path climbs up the cliff and then follows a route through heathland and grassland where Nare Head stands looking proudly out to sea about two miles away. This is a lovely scenic walk with views over the water towards St Mawes Head. Wear suitable footwear as the path is uneven at times and can be muddy.

Great pub, good service

Nearby town

Finding the tiny cove of Porthallow involves taking the road less travelled. This is the Cornwall of quiet, leafy lanes, hidden beaches and a slower pace of life. If you’re looking for wild nightlife or ritzy shopping, you’re in the wrong place…If you’re after total relaxation and peace, then you’ve found perfection.

Family and dog-friendly, Trebah covers 26 acres, converting a small corner of Cornwall into a sub-tropical paradise. Located above the Helford River, every inch of Trebah is covered by lush vegetation, with 100-year old rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias kicking off the season with an explosion of colour.

Exotic dog friendly garden

Trebah is a wonderful exotic lush estate in a sheltered valley leading to a delightful small beach, where the water is crystal clear and blue. Paths cross cross the valley making it easy to view the gardens from different angles. Marvellous variety of plants and trees. It's dog friendly, as also is the cafe, which is light and airy, serving tasty food. In Feb 2023, a new walled garden was being constructed, which looks most attractive.

Lovely day out

We had a lovely day at Trebah in March. There were lots of colourful Spring plants including all the rhododendrons, camelias and magnolias, and a sea of fascinating gunneras that were starting to come out. When they are fully grown, the leaves can reach 2.5m across and there is a gunnera passage where you could walk underneath them. There’s also some giant bamboo and many interesting paths up and and down to the beach. We had a lovely lunch in the cafe and all in all, a great day out. Check the website and make sure you book in advance as they were only accepting pre-booked visitors. Also check the cafe closing time on the beach (ice creams etc) as it closed at 3pm when we were there.

We visited in February and were surprised by how warm and mild the atmosphere was in the gardens. What a wonderful variety of plants, shrubs and trees! well laid out paths allow the visitor to wander around the grounds to access different view points. The beach at the bottom of the valley was a lovely surprise. We particularly liked the water feature cascading down the valley.
Excellent cafe in a delightful light and airy modern building. The entry fee is reasonable and good value for money.

A disabled persons opinion

I was really looking forward to visiting Trebah but was really disappointed, I was only able to go out of the reception building in my wheelchair when I was faced with the most sever decline and was told that it was like that all the way. It was very unsafe for me to go any further, so had to turn round and go out of the gardens

This was such a wonderful find. A complete tropical paradise hidden away down the creek. You really feel like you have disappeared to a magical world here and it's a great place to escape.

Lovely cafe as well and there's also a cafe on the beach.

We visited the gardens on Father's Day (three generations of us!) and it was a lovely day out.

We love Trebah Gardens, they are also dog friendly, though unfortunately we did see evidence that some dog owners were not respecting the fact that clearing up is a must if this is to continue.

Suitable for young and old

I would recommend this garden for anyone. The walks around the garden can be taken at any pace and are endlessly fascinating for young children as well as older relatives. Even those who may not be as agile as they once were will be able to manage a good deal of the garden and there are plenty of places to stop, admire the view and rest. The staff are very helpful, always ready to discuss an unusual plant and the cafe is run by a group of very cheerful women, who provide simple but delicious food.

Best Beach on the Lizard

Whilst some don't rate this beach due to the steep walks down to and back up from the beach and the fact that there is no beach left at high tide, in our opinion it is the best beach on the Lizard and definitely worth a visit.
To avoid having to carry too much don't worry about packing lunch as the cafe there is excellent and has loads of different options from jackets to toasties, cream teas and of course pasties.
The advantage of high tide covering the whole beach is that the sand is always pristinely clean and great for making castles!
The sea is usually pretty calm but fairly cold in comparison with others locally, dolphins are often seen in the waters and fish in the cove round the back of the caves - great for snorkelling.
Toilets on this beach are spotlessly clean too which is a bonus.

The best Beach

One of probably the best beaches in the UK if not Europe and further afield. Spectacular either when calm or during a storm. The pristine sand is cleaned by each high tide and if you make the effort in checking your tide times, fancy a paddle, and get there about an hour before low tide, you could be the first to make your footprints in the untouched sand. A brilliant National Trust cafe where you can get to eat (in my opinion) the best British bacon butty (even though its in a baguette) plus the view to relish. My other half recommends the crab sandwich. And we both say mmmmm to the cream teas. And then you can exercise it all off with the coast walks north or south.

I return to SW Cornwall once a year - and Roskilly's is always on the agenda for the ice cream and cream teas. It's an additional extra when the tide has forced you off the beach early. You can buy Roskilly's ice cream at a few places - but you never get all the flavours they have on offer at the farm. Idyllic walks around the ponds and watching the organisation of the milking while you work your way through their generous ice creams. Not to be missed! :)

A holiday highlight for our children - especially seeing the cows being milked. The ice cream was beautiful. Having visited last about 8 years ago, my husband and I did feel,that the information in the milking shed could have been updated - it did look tatty! Also, they asked children to name the calves but you couldn't see their names. My son (5) would have liked some commentary when the cows came in to be milked. Overall though, we would definitely return

Well you could start with a wander around the ponds, why not bring the dog it is sure to enjoy this! Maybe feed the ducks or even just sit for a while and watch the world go by! Then head back to the barns for a well deserved ice cream. So many different flavours how do you chose? Why not stop and watch milking the kids will love it. Lovely selection of gifts in the gift shop and great local produce. Stop into the evening and enjoy the popular BBQ or on chillier evenings sit in by the open fire and enjoy a warming meal. What ever the weather your sure to enjoy a few hours here.

Modern organic rustic cooking - simple dishes made with outstanding ingredients, most of which are sourced locally, even the wine is organic. The fish comes from Newlyn and the local fishermen they know bring in what they catch. You can even learn to bake bread with the Owner and Chef of The Greenhouse who runs bread baking courses.

The Greenhouse Restaurant, St Keverne

Locally sourced, organic seasonal food, wonderfully imaginative cooking. Curry nights and fish and chip nights during the winter. Special winter prices.
Michelin listed. Delicious food. A gem!

Planning to eat somewhere on holiday with friends who prefer organic, we found The Greenhouse on Google and booked blind. However, we were not disappointed. A somewhat modest exterior just off the main square of sleepy St Keverne belied a surprisingly interesting and good quality bistro-style restaurant with open-plan kitchen and a well-stocked bar. All the dishes we chose were excellent, the wine fairly priced and the hosts charming. Not your average eating place in Cornwall!

Good Honest Cooking!

An excellent restaurant, tucked away just off the village square in St. Keverne. Good honest cooking, using local and seasonal organic ingredients. Nothing too fancy, and generous portions. Good choice of vegetarian dishes - definitely not the usual 'nut loaf' offered in many hostelries.

The Greenhouse, St Keverne

I'm extremely lucky to have this fabulous restaurant on my doorstep. With a menu to delight and surprise, that is varied and original and sometimes brave, topped off with a warm, cosy atmosphere you will leave this restaurant already planning your next visit. Please book ahead though to ensure you get a table.
