Anyone have any recommendations for hotels in Cornwall, Devon or Dorset? Planning a child free break for next year but not sure where to start!

The Scarlet. It was my absolute favourite hotel although haven’t been there for a while because of children.

Talland Bay Hotel?

Watermark Hotel, Looe?

Martinisarebetterdirty · 15/07/2021 19:21

The Boskerris in Carbis Bay, but no pool - is lovely apart from that. The Scarlett is nice too but I prefer being close to St Ives and the beach at Carbis Bay is nicer

Not the Scientology one. Camelot or something like that it’s called near Newquay.

I nearly booked it by accident once. The trip advisor reviews are worth a look for a giggle though.

Watergate Bay Hotel? Agree The Scarlett is very nice too

The new pig hotel …

Mousehole in Cornwall is lovely.

The Scarlet, Carbis Bay or St Michael’s in Falmouth.

The driftwood in Rosevine is my favourite. 3star hotel, but a michelin star and amazing service and location, just near the hidden hut.
I wouldn't go to watergate bay without kids.
I like the Scarlett too.

You could actually do both and walk between them, the driftwood, would transfer your luggage.

The Scarlett or Fistral Beach Hotel & Spa. Both adult only so great for a child free break.

underneaththeash · 15/07/2021 20:26

Just to be clear, it's a distance between them and you'd need to stop off half way!

StormBaby · 15/07/2021 20:29

Avoid the Pentire Hotel, it’s a dusty shithole

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 15/07/2021 20:30

Have a look on the website canopy and stars. There are loads of little unique places to stay on there.

FurrySlipperBoots · 15/07/2021 20:35

The Driftwood must be 4 stars surely? It's pretty luxury there! I'm not sure it's Michelin starred any more but the restaurant is beautiful and romantic. It's a much quieter spot than the bigger Watergate Bay type hotels. No pool or hottub or anything but a nice secluded beach, good for local rambles, and the Hidden Hut is just down the road - best lemon drizzle cake ever invented, and I don't like lemon cake! 10 mins drive to St Mawes and then you can mess about with boats if that's your thing, or nip over to Falmouth for the day.

The pig at harlyn

Scarlett is beautiful, I'm wanting to go for our 10 year anniversary even though it's literally 2 villages away from me.

ChinookPilotsGoVertical · 16/07/2021 00:23

@Provencerose, I used to live in the St Michael's, my grandparents used to own it.

Shamoo · 16/07/2021 00:55

St Moritz is lovely 😊

MiloAndEddie · 16/07/2021 06:19

Fistral beach or Rick steins seafood restaurant has beautiful rooms

Boomshakalack · 16/07/2021 06:32

Saunton sands
The Endsleigh

Thisusedtobeaniceneighbourhood · 16/07/2021 06:36

The Nare Hotel on the Roseland Peninsula is the one I would pick for child free luxury:

I’m a west Cornwall girl at heart but that hotel looks stunning.

Thisusedtobeaniceneighbourhood · 16/07/2021 06:37

Though actually, if budget allows I would consider going all the way to the Scillies

FurrySlipperBoots · 16/07/2021 16:38

The Nare is just pretentious I think. Staff opening doors and calling you 'Madam', urgh!
