More best romantic hotels in Cornwall

driftwood hotel, Porthscatho

Fiona and Paul Robinson’s New England-inspired hotel, with ‘magnificent views over Gerrans Bay’, ticked all the boxes for a reader this year, from the ‘wonderful people’ to ‘food that is too good to be true’.

Tresanton, St Mawes

Tumbling down cliffs overlooking Falmouth Bay, Olga Polizzi’s glowing white Tresanton shows how to put style into a family-friendly seaside hotel – at a price.

The Old Rectory, Boscastle

The old rector was none other than the great-grandfather of Sally Searle, who, with husband Chris, welcomes guests to their loved and lived-in Victorian home.

Blue Hayes, St Ives

What could be lovelier than to take breakfast on the terrace of Malcolm Herring’s small hotel, gazing over the harbour, or to sip a Blue Hayes Colada at sunset? This is an exclusive place (no dogs, no tiny tots, no walk-ins), done out in seaside blues and creams, with the garden gate leading to the Coast Path and Porthminster Beach.

The Old Coastguard, Penzance

‘Perfection – time seems to slow down the moment you enter,’ says one trusted reviewer of this contemporary take on a traditional coastal inn, which exudes a wonderfully relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

The Scarlet, Mawgan Porth

While children let rip at sister hotel Bedruthan (previous entry), all is serene at the adults-only Scarlet, ‘perfectly located overlooking the beach and ocean’, with Ayurvedic-inspired spa and outdoor hot tubs.

Chapel House, Penzance

A Guide regular gives ‘five stars’ this year to this B&B in a serene Georgian town house overlooking Penzance harbour.

Pebble House, Mevagissey

High above the 14th-century fishing village, Andrea and Simon Copper’s sleekly designed, child-free retreat offers a stunning seascape, which stretches across Mevagissey Bay to historic Chapel Point and beyond.

The Idle Rocks, St Mawes

Dinghies skim beneath the 150-foot terrace of Karen and David Richards’s hotel, in an enviable position overlooking the Fal estuary in a fishing village on the Roseland peninsula.

Mullion Cove Hotel, Helston

This striking cliff-top hotel on the Cornish Coast Path is on ‘excellent form’ and as ‘welcoming, friendly and helpful as ever’, says a fan.

Padstow Townhouse, Padstow

Paul Ainsworth’s all-suite bolt-hole is a perfectly seasoned accompaniment for his Michelin-starred restaurant, his café, pub and cookery school, all of which he runs with wife Emma.

Trereife, Penzance

At the south-western tip of Cornwall, with views to the sea, this handsome manor house, wrapped in parkland and formal gardens, gives a taste of country house living.

The Old Quay House, Fowey

Dazzling estuary views and a friendly welcome await at this ‘marvellously situated’ quayside hotel.

Headland House, St Ives

A tranquil retreat from the bustle of nearby St Ives, Mark and Fenella Thomas’s chic Edwardian house stands on a steep hill above Carbis Bay.

Trevose Harbour House, St Ives

Styled in a palette of blues and whites, Angela and Olivier Noverraz’s ‘beautifully appointed’ 1850s mid-terrace house, a short stroll from the harbourside, is ‘a delight’.

Lower Barns, St Austell

Off a single-track road amid tranquil farmland, Janie and Mike Cooksley’s quirky B&B on the Roseland peninsula is a joyous burst of artistry, colour and all-round cheer.

Trewornan Manor, Wadebridge

The River Amble flows past the hamlet a mile from Wadebridge where a Grade II listed manor house is now a ‘first-rate’ B&B, promoted to a full entry following persuasive reports from readers.
