The Sloop Inn

St Ives, United Kingdom

The Sloop Inn is an inn in St Ives, Cornwall, England, located on the wharf. It is one of the oldest inns in Cornwall, the public house is dated to "circa 1312" although the present building was built in the 17th or 18th century. Made of granite rubble, with a slate roof, the Sloop was the favourite haunt of Victorian artists including Louis Grier and many of his paintings hung there in earlier years. Today the public house is a traditional bar, with low ceilings but with an outside decking area. It also includes accommodation for guests.
