Winter by the Sea
There are some Christmas traditions that never lose their charm. Crackling fires, beautifully laid tables, the anticipation of dressing for dinner and unhurried time spent with family and friends. At The Nare, these are not traditions of the past, but pleasures still very much enjoyed today.
Overlooking Carne Beach on the Roseland Peninsula, Winter by the Sea is an exclusive festive package bringing together the warmth of a traditional country house Christmas with the beauty of the Cornish coast. From five-course festive dining and the enchanting Heligan Night Garden to coastal walks, afternoons in the spa and Cornish cream teas beside the fire, it is a wonderful way to celebrate the season.

An exclusive five-course Christmas dining experience in The Nare's Dining Room, with traditional silver service and tableside theatre

A Festive Dining Experience to Remember
At the heart of Winter by the Sea is an exclusive Christmas menu in The Nare's Dining Room, where traditional silver service and the theatre of fine dining make every evening an occasion.
Celebrating the finest local Cornish produce and seasonal ingredients, the menu features venison with chestnuts, traditional free-range turkey with all the trimmings, Cornish beef with Madeira and black truffle jus, and beautifully prepared seafood. With hors d'oeuvres presented from the trolley and the familiar flourishes of classic country house dining, it is a festive experience to savour with family and friends.
The Pleasures of Winter by the Sea
Winter is a wonderful time to discover the Roseland Peninsula. With Carne Beach just below the hotel and the South West Coast Path close at hand, guests can enjoy peaceful coastal walks and magnificent views across Gerrans Bay.
For those who prefer to stay closer to home, there is the pleasure of an afternoon in the spa, a swim in the indoor pool or a traditional Cornish cream tea beside the Drawing Room fire.
Beyond the hotel, the award-winning Heligan Night Garden brings another touch of Christmas magic to the Cornish countryside. With tickets included in the Winter by the Sea package, guests can explore its illuminated woodland, glowing lanterns and enchanting displays inspired by the natural world.
Whether enjoying the fresh sea air or simply spending time together beside the fire, Winter by the Sea offers a chance to enjoy the traditions of Christmas in one of Cornwall's most beautiful coastal settings.
