The Bush Inn
The Bush Inn is a 13th Century free house in the beautiful parish of Morwenstow. This hidden gem is rich in character and is one of the oldest pub in Cornwall, with a long history of hospitality dating back to around 950AD. Less than a mile away from the North Cornish coast, The Bush Inn is a perfect stopover for those hiking the South West Coast Path.
This one-of-a-kind pub has a unique blend of old and new with it’s quirky bar area oozing charm and character contrasting the modern, bright restaurant area offering a stunning view of the sea. Outside there is a newly-built decking area and tables on the grass surrounded by views of the Cornish countryside. Whether you’re looking for a room for the night, a celebratory meal, a sunny afternoon in a beer garden or an evening of dancing, this rare find is worth a visit!

What our customers say about us
The food was great, best chips on my two months long trip along the coast path. But the best thing was that we were served by the kindest people. I really mean it. Our waiter was so kind, we felt so welcome.
Thank you so much for the heart-warming experience.
Lovely pub, with a decent choice of beers and cider. What a beautiful location, with plenty of walks locally, to work up an appetite. Really welcoming and attentive staff, whether you are stopping for a pint, on planning to eat here. Highly recommend a trip out here. Take it easy on the roads out to Morwenstow.
Lovely pub and place to stay. Rooms clean and cosy with great amenities. Pub food is excellent, great selection of wine, friendly and helpful staff along with a lovely atmosphere. Loved the live music on the weekends and stunning views and local walks. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.
