Commis Chef

About the Hotel

Polurrian on the Lizard has welcomed guests for over a century, offering a true escape on Cornwall’s dramatic Southwest Coast. Perched above a secluded beach with direct access to the Southwest Coast Path, our 48-key independent hotel blends heritage, space, and relaxed luxury.

Now part of The Loxley Collection, the hotel is undergoing a £10 million investment programme, introducing an exceptional new spa and vitality hydropool with a semi‑retractable roof, enhanced leisure facilities, a 120‑person function space, additional family suites, and an alfresco dining terrace. A newly designed kitchen sits at the centre of our culinary experience, driving an exciting and elevated food offering.

Polurrian offers a distinctive guest experience — from restorative spa escapes to memorable dining inspired by Mediterranean flavours and locally sourced ingredients. Whether guests visit for leisure, business, or family stays (four‑legged companions included), our team creates the warm, welcoming atmosphere that defines the hotel.

With breathtaking coastal views, versatile gathering spaces, and a commitment to genuine hospitality, Polurrian on the Lizard is a destination where guests can truly relax, explore, and reconnect.
