Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Newquay
A large clifftop hotel above Newquay's main beach with an outdoor heated pool and panoramic Atlantic views, the Atlantic Hotel is the most affordable of Newquay's clifftop properties and a reliable family-friendly choice.
Falmouth
Cornwall's oldest hotel — established 1640 — occupying a prime waterfront position at the mouth of Falmouth Harbour with stunning views of the working port and the Fal estuary. Literary associations with Kenneth Grahame, who began Wind in the Willows here.
St Ives
A meticulously maintained boutique hotel above Carbis Bay on the edge of St Ives with panoramic views across the bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. The owners' care and knowledge of the local art and food scene makes it an exceptional base for St Ives.
St Ives
A beautiful six-room boutique B&B on the harbour in St Ives' fishing district, Trevose Harbour House is one of Cornwall's most celebrated small hotels — breakfast of fresh local produce is served overlooking the harbour and lobster boats.
Fowey
An elegant boutique hotel in a converted Victorian customs house directly on Fowey's beautiful estuary, The Old Quay House delivers twelve exquisite rooms, waterside dining, and the kind of refined charm associated with the literary town of Fowey (home of Daphne du Maurier).
Veryan-in-Roseland
On the remote Roseland Peninsula — one of Cornwall's most pristine headlands — The Nare is a supremely traditional, family-run country house hotel with its own beach, outdoor pool, and the kind of formal-yet-friendly English hospitality that has all but disappeared elsewhere.
