The home of the legend of King Arthur, the inspiration for artist Barbara Hepworth, and the favoured hotspot of some of the best surfers in the world, Cornwall is a holiday destination that has something for everyone.
Spa hotels in Cornwall are popular with couples, groups of friends and for family holidays. For example, Bedruthan Hotel and Spa in Newquay offers guests an elegant destination that’s ideal for a romantic spa holiday; wild swimming in the hidden lagoon and surfing at the dramatically beautiful beaches. Then again, it also welcomes families and groups of friends with villa accommodation available. This is a precedent set at a number of Cornwall’s hotel spas, where proprietors really understand how valuable that sense of space is to relax on holiday.
With its exceptional views, fresh air and outdoor leisure opportunities, Cornwall is also an ideal destination for a true wellness experience. For those looking to detox, relax and unwind from the stresses and strains of daily life, combining a getaway with treatments using local botanicals and beautiful clifftop walks, is hard to beat.
Of course, postcard perfect villages and country house hotels make for an unbeatable romantic spa holiday as well. Boscundle Manor Country House hotel has a reputation for excellence in Saint Austell. Its warm greeting, natural beauty and surrounding woodland and gardens make for a secluded escape with all the trimmings.
On the other hand, the imposing glamour of The Headland Hotel as it perches on top of the cliffs in Newquay has romance woven into its roots. Staff still thrill at the memory of clandestine phone calls and bouquets of flowers being delivered to Anjelica Houston from her lover Jack Nicholson when she was in residence filming Roald Dahl’s The Witches.
