The Earl of St. Vincent dates back to the 12th century, when it was built as a boarding house for the masons who constructed the church. It was named after a former. Admiral who sailed with Lord Nelson. Lovingly restored by the present owners, it is a most extraordinary pub, filled with antiques and hidden away in the old part of the tiny, picturesque village of Engloshayle, in beautiful North Cornwall, England. North Cornwall is one of the last, unspoilt places in the British Isles to offer the visitor coastal scenery as magnificent and beautiful as anywhere in the world, together with the facilities and hospitality to ensure that you will return time and time again. The Earl of St. Vincent is to be found off the A389 Wadebridge to Bodmin Road.
Close by there are the picturesque harbours of Padstow and Port Isaac, some superb golfing and a great many historic monuments and ancient sites.
