Bird’s-eye views of the Lizard peninsula, little luxuries and an relaxed air turn this clifftop hotel (Luxury Family Hotels) into a stress-busting retreat for the whole family. Parents relax while children’s activities abound: rock-pool hopping, a film club, art and cookery classes; there’s even an Ofsted-accredited crèche for babies. The stunning coast views extend into the well-appointed bedrooms; in many, space for an extra bed or cot; some interconnect to accommodate a larger family. Informal, all-day menus are served in the lounge (or the terrace on balmy days); after the children’s bedtime, more sophisticated meals are taken in the restaurant, perhaps macadamia crusted cod fillet, orzo, salsa verde.
