The Engine Inn, a quaint 3-star establishment located in the scenic village of Cripplesease, is the embodiment of Cornish charm and hospitality. Poised within the designated Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the inn sits between the historic market town of Penzance and the artistic enclave of St Ives, serving as an ideal base for those yearning to explore the enchanting southwestern tip of England.

The core of the Engine Inn, beyond its historic stone facade, is its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Each room is a blend of comfort and tradition, with decor that reflects the inn's rich history and the region's maritime heritage. As the sun sets, the inn's restaurant beckons guests and locals alike with its promise of sumptuous local fare. The menu, crafted with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, offers a gastronomic journey through Cornwall's rich culinary traditions. Adjacent to the restaurant, the bar and lounge area provide a cozy space to relax with a pint of local ale or cider, often accompanied by live music or tales from the area's storied past.

But perhaps the most alluring aspect of the Engine Inn is its location. The village of Cripplesease, though small, is steeped in history and surrounded by the raw beauty of the Cornish landscape. Undulating hills, verdant valleys, and the rugged coastline are just a stone's throw away, making the inn an ideal starting point for hiking, cycling, or coastal walks. For those interested in the arts, the proximity to St Ives, with its myriad galleries and the iconic Tate St Ives, is a significant draw. All in all, the Engine Inn provides its guests with not just a stay, but an experience; a chance to immerse oneself in the rhythms of Cornish life, its history, and its unparalleled natural beauty.
