A 500-Year-Old Inn by the Quay

Jolly Sailor Inn is the oldest pub in Looe, dating back 500 years. The building stands close to the quay in West Looe, with the waterfront a short walk away. Guests can explore the inn's history through pictures on the walls that detail changes made over the centuries.

Each of the rooms includes a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Room 3 offers a four-poster king bed, a large bathroom with a bath and shower, and a separate sitting area with a TV. Other rooms feature a sofa, armchairs, or a harbour view.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast is included in the room rate and served with a choice of dishes such as the Salmon Bomb - scrambled eggs on a muffin with salmon. Evening meals include a Sunday roast with three meat choices, pizzas, homemade lasagne, and the Jolly Burger. All food is freshly prepared and cooked to order, with a wide choice on the menu.

Evening Entertainment & Events

Every Thursday at 8pm, a sea shanty group performs in the pub, with song sheets provided for guests to join in. Monday nights feature a pub quiz that ends with a music sing-along round. The inn also hosts live folk music and occasional pizza nights alongside the quiz.
