St Enodoc by Paul Ainsworth

Perched above the Camel Estuary in Rock, Cornwall, is St Enodoc by Paul Ainsworth, the new hotel from the celebrity chef.

Since beginning renovations in October 2025, Ainsworth and his wife Emma have been shaping the next chapter of this 21-bedroom hotel.

Their aim has been to create a welcoming, relaxed destination for everyone with spaces to suit different occasions. From morning coffee to lunch on the stunning seafront terrace to drinks overlooking the estuary – there is something for everyone.

Bedrooms cater to every kind of experience from family get-togethers to those peaceful getaways. Many of the rooms offer views of the estuary and gardens.

Unsurprisingly, food is a focus at this venue with the new hotel introducing two new restaurant concepts.

The Estuary Grill focuses on Cornish produce from the land and sea, with the menu including dry aged meat from Philip Warren Butchers and locally caught fish supplied by Flying Fish. There are daily market price specials, such as prime ribs, sirloin and whole fish, that will be cooked over an asado grill.

The Flour Garden is a more informal all-day, family-friendly restaurant operating between March and October, that serves hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas, Panzanella and Niçoise salads, along with home-made soft serve ice creams.

Open to residents and non-residents, St Enodoc Bar, Guinness on tap, as well as lagers from Sharp's Brewery and Monte Carlo beers from entrepreneurs Antho Orengo and Will Scheffer in collaboration with Molson Coors. The bar also offers a selection of cocktails and spirits.

Wellness is an important part of the hotel ethos with everything from yoga to body conditioning classes on offer to guests.

This is the fifth venue to join The Ainsworth collection which boasts Michelin star restaurant No 6 in Padstow, Padstow Townhouse, Caffe Rojano's, Ci Ci's bar and The Mariners pub in Rock.
