chasing insects, kingfishers stopping by or the many butterflies
flitting across the meadow. Views from the Dining Room look out across Pentewan Harbour and Beach providing the perfect compliment to the Ancient Shipbrokers delicious home cooked breakfasts. If you feel like a lazy day why not just sit and relax in our pretty garden or on the deck whilst you decide what to do. Night time brings along different delights, especially when the moon is shining across the sea perfect for those romantic evenings. We see fabulous sunsets to the west over towards The Lost Gardens of Heligan. We also have a delightful one bedroom traditional stone built Cornish cottage just a few minutes walk away and right in the heart of the village. This can either be used to accommodate those extra guests of big parties on a Bed and Breakfast basis, or as a self-catering cottage.

The Coastal Village of "Pentewan" and its History
Situated on the eastern coast of the Peninsular, the village of Pentewan has a long sandy beach, safe for swimming and all watersports, with the coastal path easily accessible from either end of the beach. The Pentewan Cycle Trail way terminates in the village and cycle hire is available from March to October.
The village
has its own diving school, pub, restaurant, shops, garage and
post office, as well as a lovely tea-room in the village square,
selling delicious home-made cakes. It is also well served by the
local bus service, with a regular service to the neighbouring
village of Mevagissey, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, St Austell,
The Eden Project, Charlstown and Fowey. The harbour was also home to the "Tall Ships" which tied-up along the harbour walls trading their cargo. In fact the "Ancient Shipbrokers" Bed and Breakfast was for 50 years, home of the Shipbroker trading the cargoes of the Tall Ships. Today the only signs left of the port is the old quay, now a freshwater haven for numerous ducks, swans and moorhens. Herons frequent the river plucking fresh water fish from the water. Things to do:
