Does anyone know a place / hotel like this one I imagined?

It’s like a deep memory that gives me A Feeling but is more likely based on books I read as a child than reality.

It’s a hotel by the coast, a rambling probably Victorian place, big windows, possibly a verandah. Surrounded by gardens, leading down to the beach. bonus points for a monkey puzzle tree but big firs would do. Hidden garden bits would be the cherry on the cake.

Doesn’t need to be fancy. But comfortable. Child friendly but not with “kid stuff” going on.

Genteel and old fashioned but accommodating.

It’s a bit like the one in the Witches but with more mystery 😂

We need a break. I’ve had 4 days off in total since Christmas. The kids have had the shittest lockdown and “school
Holiday”. They’ve never been to a hotel, they really want to go to one, they’re 10 and 8. Easy kids, easily pleased, they like being outdoors and a good pub lunch. I need to chill out. They need some time with me. I want to take them away for a couple of days in October half term. Somewhere comfy and easy.

@allmycats

Can't remember the name, but at the bottom of Carbis Bay, just outside St. Ives, there is a lovely hotel with gardens going down to the beach. It is right at the bottom of the road going down to the sea and has a lovely beach

I'd second Portmerion.

Has anyone seen the 80s film 'Somewhere in Time' with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve? I always wanted to stay there. If only it were this country!
