The best hotels in Cornwall

Hidden among lush gardens, with access to a private beach, Hotel Meudon has been transformed into a tasteful Cornish retreat. An enchanting stroll through the colourful subtropical gardens leads to Bream Cove. Here, the Coast Path winds past secluded bays, perfect for seal spotting, wild swimming, and snorkelling, and along dramatic headlands with glittering sea views. You are just a couple of hours’ walk away from the stunning Helford Passage in one direction, and an hour from arty Falmouth in the other. After exploring this beautiful stretch of the Cornish coast, retiring here is good for the soul. The picturesque restaurant serves bountiful fresh fish and seafood, locally farmed meats, seasonal game and fresh herbs grown in the Meudon garden.

Chic Seventies styling on Cornwall’s south coast

Dig out those bell bottoms — they won’t be out of place at Hotel Meudon, where the decor tips a floppy hat to 1970s chic (the effect is more Faye Dunaway than Bay City Rollers, we promise). Remember FM frequencies? You’ll need them to tune the restored teak-wood Roberts Radios in each of the 29 bedrooms. There are modern trappings including TVs and wi-fi, but why bother? Instead, watch the unfurling Cornish weather from an Ercol or Parker Knoll chair facing the picture windows in a lounge. Or stroll down the cliff, along paths weaving across eight acres of subtropical gardens, to a secluded beach at the bottom. Wellies, Berghaus jackets and muddy dogs are the daytime accessories of choice at this informal hotel, while in the evening Meudon is transformed with mood lighting, classic cocktails and generous seafood suppers.

Best hotels in Falmouth

The gardens are the star here. In the 10-minute wander to Bream Cove you’ll pass towering Australian tree ferns, rare rhododendrons and intimidatingly large Gunnera plants.
This semi-wilderness is tamed around the crenellated red-brick manor house. Sun loungers and parasol-covered tables dot the lawns and terraces, and the restaurant invites the outside in with its full wall of windows and grapevine.
During the hotel’s 2021 refurbishment, the old furniture was restored rather than scrapped. This lends a subtle mid-century charm to snug Freddie’s Bar, the parquet-floored Drawing Room, and the “bridge” seating area between the 19th-century main building and the bedrooms.
