Living and working in Cornwall...

Located just south of Truro and a 4 hour 30 minute high speed train connection to London Paddington (or a 40-minute flight from Newquay Airport to Gatwick), The Nare is one of the most beautifully situated hotels in the British isles.

Cornwall is most renowned for its beaches and coastal scenery, yet Cornwall has far more to offer than just wonderful coastlines.  As a place to live and work, Cornwall is full of fun, culture and history at every turn.  The soft swell of the south coast makes it ideally suited to sailing and wild swimming, whilst the north coast is a surfer’s paradise with coasteering, kayaking, and numerous other social activities including yoga and golf on offer.

13 miles from The Nare Hotel you’ll find the intimate yet vibrant city of Truro, with a plethora of independent shops and restaurants, a bustling nightlife, growing café culture, a variety of art galleries and plenty of sports clubs; there’s a lot here that will appeal to all generations.

St Austell Bay is the perfect gateway to the rest of Cornwall. The central St Austell area is incredibly lucky to be surrounded by some stunning coastal villages including  Mevagissey, Charlestown and Fowey which provide plenty of fashion stores, art galleries, bars, restaurants and gift shops.  Easy access to a number of supermarkets and retailers mean it’s incredibly easy to run your day-to-day life.

Enjoying your downtime...

Cornwall enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other county of England and offers many stunning walks. The South West Coastal Path runs the entire 694km of Cornwall’s coastline, offering breath-taking views

The Camel Trail in Cornwall runs for a little over 17 miles. It can be used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders and is predominantly flat for it’s entire length, therefore suitable for the less mobile.

Cornwall has a rich artistic heritage and is the reason the county boasts so many wonderful art galleries. There are an array of famous historical sites including St Michael’s Mount, Tintagel Castle, Restormel Castle, St. Catherine’s Castle, St Mawes Castle and Pendennis Castle. 

Numerous events for the whole family to enjoy take place each year across Cornwall with many festivals celebrating the arts, cuisine and agriculture.
