PEOPLE & HISTORY

The Wellington is one of the oldest Coaching Inns in Cornwall, dating back to the 17th Century. After changing its name from The Bos Castle Hotel to The Wellington Hotel in 1852, the hotel became known as the Scott’s Wellington Hotel after the owners at the time. It has since reverted to The Wellington Hotel.

Family, friends, food & fun

PHILOSOPHY

When you picture a traditional Cornish Country House, images of families and friends enjoying fresh air and the countryside, accompanied by delicious home-made meals around a large table, spring to mind. There is always a spirit of enjoyment and contentment running through, often helped on its way with a glass or two of local beer or a bottle of wine.

THE 17TH CENTURY

The Wellington Hotel is one of North Cornwall’s oldest Coaching Inns, dating back to the 17th Century. Originally known as “The Bos Castle Hotel”, it was renamed in memory of the “Iron Duke” the Duke of Wellington after his death. The Castilian tower, still seen as the main feature on the exterior of the hotel, was added and the hotel renamed The Wellington Hotel.
