A path leads from this cliff-top hotel to a stretch of private beach on the west of the Lizard peninsula – just one of several vantage points to take in the stunning coastal views.

Above Fistral beach, the Armstrong family’s child- and dog-friendly hotel basks in ‘spectacular views’ of the ocean and one of Cornwall’s surfing hotspots.

In a pretty village that slopes down to the bay, this ‘friendly’ spot has ‘the feel of a boutique hotel, with extra-special touches’.

‘The setting could hardly be more enticing’ at this spa hotel and golf resort on a ‘magical’ part of the Helford river.

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.

‘The whole family feels welcome’ at this ‘great’ seaside hotel, which stands in a ‘fabulous’ location, on a two-mile stretch of sandy, dog-friendly beach.
