Lugger Hotel, Portloe

History

Unchanged by the passing of time, Portloe is the living reality of a Cornish fishing village. At the very water's edge, this unique 17th-century inn is reputed to have been the haunt of local smugglers for many years. Indeed, one of the hotel's very own landlords, Black Dunstan, was hanged for smuggling in the 1890s. The liquor licence was withdrawn and the inn ceased trading. After a variety of uses, which included being a boat builder's shed, the building was renovated and it reopened in 1950 with just six bedrooms.
