In the heart of Wadebridge, the Molesworth Arms is a 16th-century coaching inn named after the Molesworth family, once appointed auditors to the Duchy of Cornwall by Queen Elizabeth I. It sits on Molesworth Street with three bars, a function room, and a stone-flagged charm that has barely changed in centuries.

The real draw for many guests is the location: the inn sits right at the start of the Camel Trail, making it an easy base for cycling to Padstow or heading inland through the wooded valley towards Bodmin Moor.

Accommodation

The Molesworth Arms has 18 rooms above its historic bars, blending period character with modern comforts.

Classic Rooms: Twin and double rooms with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, and tea and coffee making facilities.
Family Rooms: Triple and quadruple rooms sleeping up to four, with cots available on request.
Deluxe Rooms: Larger rooms with separate seating areas for a bit of extra space.

Dining

With three bars and a kitchen serving pub classics, the Molesworth Arms is as much a local hangout as it is a place to stay.

The Restaurant: A traditional pub menu built around fresh, locally sourced produce, served in the main bar or out on the terrace.
Alan’s Bar: A cosier stone-flagged bar at the rear of the building, opening onto the terrace and available for private hire.
Live Music: Regular live bands at weekends keep the historic inn feeling properly lived-in.
