Paul and Emma Ainsworth have acquired The St Enodoc Hotel in Rock.
The boutique property, which overlooks the Camel Estuary, currently comprises 21 rooms, a restaurant and beauty rooms.
Chef and restaurateur Paul Ainsworth, who is behind Michelin-starred Paul Ainsworth at No6, Caff Rojano, Padstow Townhouse, Ci Ci’s Bar and The Mariners – all located on the north Cornwall coast, said: “Emma and I have long admired The St Enodoc and are absolutely delighted to become its new owners and custodians.
“This landmark hotel is set in a stunning location right on our doorstep. We are excited to welcome this wonderful hotel to The Ainsworth Collection and further build on its legacy.
“We have no immediate plans to change the style of the hotel – our priority is ensuring a seamless employment transition for the St Enodoc team while welcoming them to the Ainsworth Collection family, to get to know our new business, and to create a warm welcome for guests. We can’t wait to start our journey with this lovely hotel and commence the next chapter in St Enodoc’s story.”
