“This beachfront hotel, the only AA-rated Five Star Inn in Cornwall, stands out for its blend of historical charm and modern luxury. I'm particularly drawn to its personalized service and direct access to the South West Coastal Path. Its award-winning seafood restaurant and proximity to attractions like the Eden Project enhance its appeal as an idyllic coastal retreat.”
