THE TIMES (June 21, 2023) – A list of 20 of our favourites that are still available. We’ve also highlighted some of the county’s hottest restaurants and its most eye-catching holiday activities. Visitors will notice a renewed push towards sustainability, including an even bigger emphasis on local ingredients in restaurants — think edible seaweed or chickens reared on site.
Polurrian on the Lizard, Mullion
Yes, OK, the approach to this family-friendly bolt hole and the village of Mullion itself are a touch suburban. But look westwards instead of east and there’s Cornwall in all its wild magnificence. At the bottom of the garden, just beyond the swings, the coastal path clings to clifftops before tumbling down to a little cove. The views reach out towards Penzance and the open ocean.
Hotel Tresanton, St Mawes
It may be 25 years old this year, but Olga Polizzi’s Arts and Crafts-influenced hotel is not resting on its laurels. Most of the bathrooms have recently been redecorated with mosaics, Carrara marble, and tongue and groove panelling. It has new wallpapers, new fabrics and even a new suite. The effect, however, is unchanged. This is probably Cornwall’s most elegant hotel: thoughtful, arty and peppered with eye-catching patterns and colours.
St Michaels Resort, Falmouth
Down on Gylly beach, St Michaels Resort is burnishing its wellness credentials with the opening of four spa garden lodges on July 1. Guests will be able to step straight into the revitalised spa garden and take advantage of a bubbling hot tub and barrel saunas. They can also soak in their own outdoor copper bath in the privacy of the lodge terrace.
