Devon and Cornwall, England's West Country: scintillating coastlines, bucket-and-spade seaside villages, wild moorland, secret valleys and deep, high-sided lanes. Cornwall's north coast is known for its sweeping surfing beaches and offers 60 miles of dramatic Atlantic Heritage Coast from Bude to Bedruthan – cliffs, coves, market towns, farmsteads and enchanting Bodmin Moor. Our favourite hotels are either dramatically sited on the coast or lost in countryside, many of them reflecting the region’s chic image while still providing endless summer fun for families; others are cosy old favourites. The order by which the hotels are listed bears no reflection on our preference.
