Is there parking at Beach House? caret-down

There is a large, privately-owned car park adjacent to the restaurant. Penrice Estate own and operate the car park and they apply parking fees throughout the year (costs vary depending on the season). The car park has been fitted with automated number plate recognition cameras, so please do ensure you pay the parking charges before leaving your vehicle.

There are 3 universal type 2 charging points, which can charge any type 2 electric vehicle and which use 100% renewable energy. We provide a fair price for charging.

Important note for evening bookings at the restaurant: If you’re arriving at Beach House by car for an evening booking, we will ask you to input your car registration on arrival at reception (as the car park is only accessible to restaurant guests after 10pm). As a restaurant guest, you can leave your car overnight but it must be collected by 10am the following morning to avoid a parking fine. If you’re getting a lift to or from the restaurant with family or friends, please do register their number plate with us too. You don’t need to provide any information if you’re arriving and departing by taxi.

Unfortunately, Beach House has no jurisdiction over the running of the car park, and any cars parked or left overnight are at your own risk.

In the warmer months, the car park can be very popular with visitors to the beach, so please do allow extra time to enter the car park when planning your trip.
