The Bay Hotel Shortlist*
Helston, Cornwall
Good Hotel Guide Review
In an unspoilt fishing village, stepped lawns are all that separates this ‘welcoming, relaxed hotel’ from the sea. Coastal-cool bedrooms (some snug) have been given Cornish colours, tongue-and-groove panelling and a powerful shower in the bathroom. Huge windows in nearly all the bedrooms offer horizon views; the best rooms have a balcony, or a private terrace, accessed through pretty French doors. Bay-landed lobster, and chefs Chris Conboye and Ric House’s ‘excellent’ daily-changing menus, are served in the candlelit restaurant overlooking the harbour. Full Cornish breakfasts. A Coastal Path and dog-friendly beach are just outside.
