AA five-star rated

For more than a century, the AA has acted as the leading independent assessor of hotels in the UK. The organisation regularly sends inspectors to The Nare to ensure the hotel continues to meet and exceed the standards expected of a five-star hotel.

The Nare has been the highest-rated Cornish hotel for three decades, and held four AA Red Stars for more than a decade before that. Red Stars are an accolade given by The AA to represent the most outstanding hotels in the British Isles.

PoB Hotels

The Nare is proud to be a member of PoB Hotels. This carefully curated collection includes the finest rooms, restaurants and spas, as well as the most authentic regional experiences across the British Isles.

PoB Hotels only invites the very best independent hotels to join their collection – but there's much more to it than that. Think of PoB Hotels as the key and each hotel as a door to new experiences. Each is completely unique, each has been hand-picked and each is proud to be British.

Established in 1982 by a group of 12 passionate hoteliers, PoB Hotels has today grown to over 50 city-based, countryside and coastal locations. The essence of PoB Hotels is built on its independence and its British heritage, honouring provenance and sincere, authentic service. What ties the hotels together is not their similarity but a celebration of their individuality.

To maintain an excellent standard of quality, all members are inspected annually. Plus, admission of new members is subject to successfully passing an anonymous overnight inspection and a ballot of the membership.

Small Luxury Hotels of the World

For worldwide recognition, The Nare is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World – the only such property in South West England.

Small Luxury Hotels of the World carefully selects hotels with character, individuality and the highest standards of service and luxury. The organisation receives over 1,000 hotel applications yearly, but accepts just five per cent. Every one of its 500 small independent hotels has one thing in common: excellence.

This consortium, which is an antidote to large corporate hotels, believes that small is beautiful and encourages a spirit of being independently minded. This is a trait that runs through the genes of The Nare's family owners.

The Good Hotel Guide

The Good Hotel Guide is considered the leading and most respected independent guide of hotels in Great Britain and Ireland. The Nare has been included for many years, and the readers' comments are always a good reflection of what to expect.

Hotels cannot buy their entry as they do in most rival guides. No money changes hands, and the editors and inspectors do not accept free hospitality on their anonymous visits to hotels.

The Nare have collected several accolades over the years. These include the prestigious César Awards, Seaside Hotel of the Year and, in 2020, an Editor's Choice for Families.

The Nare has collected several accolades over the years, including Best Coastal Hotel and Best Country House Hotel.

Rebecca Recommends

'It is a thrill to share local treasures – like a little-known pub, a quirky gallery, an adventurous outdoor activity or a spontaneous visit to a private home.'
Rebecca Slater

Rebecca Recommends is one of the leading luxury travel representation companies in the US. Its founder, Rebecca Slater – the daughter of a British independent hotelier – represents an eclectic mix of luxury hotels, residences and services from the UK and beyond.

Rebecca has always stated that she only wants to work with like-minded people who believe that service is at the 'heart of our craft'. In a world where truly good service seems harder to find, a real desire to serve and exceed people's expectations is what she recognises as being so important.
