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.
