20 scenic seaside hotels in Great Britain
Hotel Tresanton, St Mawes, Cornwall: On the edge of a pretty fishing village, overlooking the sweep of Falmouth Bay, with views of St Anthony’s lighthouse, this hotel occupies a cluster of houses, made over by Olga Polizzi, doyenne of British hoteliers, in her trademark simple-chic style.
All bedrooms have a sea view, some a private terrace. The interiors are filled with works by Cornish artists, antiques, objets d’art and curiosities.
Modern menus include a fresh fish of the day. There are terraces, a lush garden, and plans for a Mediterranean beach club and juice café.
B&B; from $330 (£260). À la carte $56 (£44). No children under six at dinner. 44 (0)1326 270055, tresanton.com
The Old Coastguard, Mouseshole, Cornwall: This whitewashed former coastguard’s station is a relaxed and happy place, furnished and decorated in casual-chic, mix-and-match style.
You can take tea on the terrace, in sub-tropical gardens sloping down to the harbor wall; dine on local fish and shellfish.
Bedrooms (some with balcony) are hung with Cornish art. Most have a sea view.
With its winding streets and harbor, Mousehole (say Mowzel) was for Dylan Thomas quite the prettiest village in England. Have a drink in the bar – or at the Ship Inn, where Thomas and his fiancée binged away their wedding money – but make time for yoga, sailing, visits to gardens beaches, artists’ colonies.
B&B; from $184.50 (£140). Set dinner $26–$32 (£19.50–£24.50), à la carte $32 (£24.50). 01736 731222, oldcoastguardhotel.co.uk
Driftwood, Portscatho, Cornwall: Follow the woodland path that winds down through the landscaped garden to a private beach from this New-England-inspired hotel overlooking Gerrans Bay, or sink into an Adirondack chair on the lawn and soak up the view.
Bedrooms are decorated in shades of sun and sand. In the evenings, hurricane lamps are lit on the decking for guests lingering over aperitifs.
There’s early supper for the little ones, Michelin-starred cooking in the airy dining room for adults and kids aged 7 and upwards. Ask for a picnic hamper and spend a day by the water.
B&B; from $235 (£185). Tasting menus $95–$121 (£75–£95), à la carte $83 (£65). 01872 580644, driftwoodhotel.co.uk
The Nare, Veryan-in-Roseland, Cornwall: Traditional, luxurious and friendly, this hotel was founded in 1989 by the present owner’s grandmother. Verdant gardens lead down to the sandy beach.
Many bedrooms have an ocean view. Old-fashioned touches include a valet to unpack for you, hot-water bottles and a silver-service restaurant with flambé trolley.
Enjoy a dip in the outdoor pool or a game of tennis or croquet before a Cornish cream tea. The climate of the Roseland peninsula is temperate, almost Mediterranean, and garden visits beckon.
Come in early spring to see the national collection of magnolias at Caerhays Castle. Book a trip on the Nare’s skippered yacht or motor launch.
B&B; from $369 (£290). Set dinner and á la carte $64 (£50).
Fowey Hall, Fowey, Cornwall: Pronounced Foy, here’s one for the kids – not least because Kenneth Grahame is believed to have taken the Italianate Victorian mansion overlooking the Fowey estuary as his model for Toad Hall in The Wind in the Willows.
While adults relax in the library, billiards room and spa, the younger guests can help to collect eggs from the hens, walk Bramble the dog, bounce on a trampoline, whizz down a zip wire.
There are family rooms, flexible meal options (from high tea to a candlelit dinner), a playroom for rainy days, fishing nets and buckets and spades for days spent on the sands or messing about in boats.
Fowey Hall is part of the Luxury Family Hotels group; sister hotel Polurrian Bay, Mullion, has a private beach.
B&B; from $242 (£190). Set dinner $38–$51 (£30–£40), à la carte $51 (£40). 01726 833866, foweyhallhotel.co.uk
Boskerris Hotel, St Ives, Cornwall: A pilchard-fishing town turned arty enclave on the north Cornish coast, St Ives is thronged in summer. Visit Tate St Ives gallery, browse the shops, then escape via the coastal path or by train (in just three minutes) to this 1930s hotel on the hillside overlooking Carbis Bay.
Interiors are cool, chic, stripped down. Most bedrooms have a panoramic Atlantic view towards Godrevy lighthouse, inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. Indulgences include a massage in the treatment room, a Cornish cream tea on the terrace.
B&B; from $197 (£155). À la carte $34 (£27). Children 10 and over welcome. 01736 795295, boskerrishotel.co.uk
Bedruthan Hotel and Spa, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall: With a sophisticated spa, outdoor play areas, games room, complimentary child care, pools and poolside snack bar, tennis, kids’ club and art gallery, this lively hotel, a short stroll from the beach, is avowedly family friendly.
You can eat informally, alfresco on the terrace or in the Wild Café. For more sophisticated fare dine in the Herring, watching the sun set over the sea through picture windows.
