Places to stay in Cornwall

[GoneBananas]

Can anyone recommend a cottage or hotel in Cornwall. We last had a holiday there 27 years ago. We'd like to stay somewhere nice. Thanks.

Stayed here for a couple of nights last summer. Wonderful place and the rooms are superb. We wanted to stay longer, but they were all booked up:

I adore the area

If it is in the right area, Anchorage House in St. Austell is by far and away the very best place we've ever stayed in here or abroad and at anything up to 4 times or more the cost.

The owners are incredibly friendly and fastidious, she is an absolutely fantastic cook (do eat 'in' if you get the chance) and the chap, an ex US Navy Special Ops Commander is typically Texan old-school charming and a great raconteur. We stayed there for the eclipse some years back and he drove us around the coast line to find good spots having plied us from his own drinks cabinet including a very good bottle of President's Special Reserve claret he'd been given and the best Champagne I've ever tasted.

We have stayed there 4 times, even making sure we could do at least one or two nights there on jaunts around the south west and they did a special (secret) holiday for my in-laws' Golden Wedding celebration. They were wonderful to them.

Could not recommend it more highly.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll show them to Mrs GB, to see what she thinks.

The Nare. You need to have pretty deep pockets but it won't disappoint, even if you are used to the best of the best.





I liked the scarlet too, nice food.

Bedruthan steps is the sister hotel but not as good as the Scarlet.

Two from me.

St Enodoc Hotel at Rock

NT cottage/s at Park Head.

We rediscovered north Cornwall after about 25 years and loved it so much we bought a cottage there - you could rent that but its got the builders in....

St Michael's in Falmouth is nice as is the Duchy (not stayed in the latter but it has been recommended to me).

Restaurant in the St Michaels is excellent.

St Austel Brewery have chain of hotels in the area. Only stayed at Porthleven and Mousehole St Austel Brewery hotels. Would not recommend the latter.

The Harbour Inn in Porthleven we have had two different rooms both quite good and a good price for Cornwall and a good couple of resteraunts in the village.

Beachfield Hotel in Penzance was very good. Not used any others in Penzance, working in the area so only two nights spent there.

Penventon in Redruth is OK.

Lugger hotel in Portloe but the last time I tried to book in the prices had risen a tad. Not been there for a while.



Fair enough.

avoid the duchy IMO, its well run and the staff are lovely, and its dirt cheap but its a bit of a timewarp ... like a hotel from the 70's sepcially the food and most guests were 70+ when we went there ... not even in the same playing field as the scarlet/nare

Been waiting for someone to ask this for a while.

I go with my family (no kids) to http://www.budockvean.co.uk/

stunning.

gentle, refined English opulence at its best.

Don't know what sort of Cornwall you want to experience but, if you want to feel you in a genuine classic tiny fishing/smuggling cove, right on the water with great cliff walks from the door while staying in luxury and eating great food try here:- http://www.luggerhotel.co.uk/
Get room 201 which is right on the front seaward corner of the hotel and has it's own large terrace. Take care because some rooms are smaller, in another building, and may not have sea views.
