The Norway Inn

The Norway Inn Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, The Norway Inn caught me off guard in the best possible way. Tucked away in the Cornish village of Perranarworthal, this five-star property feels more like discovering a well-kept secret than checking into a typical luxury hotel. The moment you pull up, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve found something genuinely special — not flashy or over-the-top, just quietly exceptional.

Location and Setting

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? It’s properly rural Cornwall without being in the middle of nowhere. Perranarworthal sits between Truro and Falmouth, which means you’re actually perfectly positioned for exploring both the cathedral city and the coast. The village itself is one of those places where you’ll find yourself taking photos of stone cottages and wondering why you don’t live here. I mean, couples consistently rate the location 8.9 out of 10, and after spending time here, I completely get why.

The Accommodation Experience

The room I stayed in was honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced in Cornwall. These beds — and I’m not exaggerating — are the kind you sink into and immediately understand why guests keep coming back. The property has this remarkable number of repeat visitors, which tells you everything really. When people return to the same place for their Cornwall holidays, you know they’ve found something worth keeping to themselves. The attention to detail in every corner makes each stay memorable.

Dining and Practical Matters

Breakfast here is actually a proper affair — you can go Continental if you’re keeping things light, or dive into a full English that’ll set you up for a day of coastal walking. The restaurant takes its food seriously without being stuffy about it. What I really appreciated was the free parking on site — sounds basic, but when you’re exploring Cornwall by car (which you absolutely should), having guaranteed parking removes one of those little travel stresses you don’t think about until you need it.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about The Norway Inn that just works. Maybe it’s the way luxury feels effortless here rather than performed, or how the staff seem to genuinely care about your stay without hovering. The 8.9 rating reflects what you’ll discover — this is a place that understands hospitality in that distinctly Cornish way, where warmth and quality come naturally. It’s the sort of place where you’ll find yourself already planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out. Every element, from the welcoming atmosphere to the thoughtful amenities, contributes to an unforgettable experience.
