Romantic Spots in Cornwall
Local AreaIt’s that time of year again; red and pink cards and roses are overflowing the shops and love is in the air. If your planning on getting away this Valentines day (or just want something slightly different to do) read on for our top places to go this romantic season in Cornwall.
LIZARD POINT
If wild seas and windswept walks are your idea of a romantic day out then look no further than the most southerly point in the UK. Here you can lose yourself in the wild romance of the cliffs, explore the distinctive twin tower lighthouse or hunker down in the Witchball pub with a pint.
CHINTZ FALMOUTH
This newly opened wine and cheese bar has all the ingredients for a romantic night out in Falmouth. With secret rooms and small, intimate, tables and candle-lit spaces the atmosphere is perfect. That’s before the exciting mix of cocktails and piano jams that frequently occur. If you’re feeling a bit cheeky why not get hitched at their ‘Auto Wed’; a slightly tacky, very funny, wedding vending machine.
TINTAGEL
Bathed in Myth and legend this historic site on the north coast is linked to the story of King Arthur, fairies and Merlin. Explore hidden caves, ruined castles and stone carvings, feel the magic and spend an afternoon immersed in history.
PORTHCURNO
If you’re a fan of the new Poldark series then this is the spot for you. A soft, sandy beach set below the famous Minack Theatre it was used as the location for Nampara Cove in Poldark. Follow in the footsteps of Ross and Demelza, when they walked across the beach in the dream sequence of episode two.
ST JUST IN ROSELAND CHURCH
On the beautiful Roseland Peninsula just across the Carrick Roads from Falmouth, the best way to reach this beautiful spot is across on the ferry. Take the King Harry Ferry if you want to explore in the car, or the passenger ferry from Falmouth to St Mawes if you’re up for a walk. Hidden down a small road this 13th Century church is set in subtropical gardens. And for £3 an hour you can pay for the church to be floodlit in an evening, the perfect spot for a romantic night.
THE HIDDEN HUT, PORTHCURNICK
Quite literally a hidden gem on the Cornish coast path this small café is not to be underestimated. The food here is divine and all locally sourced ensuring you get the freshest produce available. Either stop for a spot of lunch or take away for a picnic to remember on the beach below.
I really liked the online check in, no room bills/pay as you go and easy check out….a really modern approach that works well.
Thank you for making my birthday so special. Even though I’m local I felt like I was a 1000 miles away.
Wonderful hotel and Spa resort. Friendly and helpful staff, dog friendly even dog bed and treats in room, great food and ambience.
Had a lovely dinner last night in the restaurant with a voucher from Christmas. Warm atmosphere, great service and perfect food. Will definitely do it again
We had a free upgrade along with a lovely Birthday card for my Partner and a free cocktail for us both to celebrate! Such a lovely lovely gesture.
Excellent breakfast - such a good choice and very delicious. We also had THE best Sunday Roast and cocktails - Can't wait to return.
This was my first time staying at any hotel on my own. Everyone at St Michaels was really helpful and kind making me feel very safe and comfortable during my stay.
We loved our stay here. Perfectly located opposite the beach & coast path and a 15 minute walk into the town centre. A well appointed room with a balcony in the beach house annexe with a sea view - just! Excellent breakfast service with friendly helpful staff.
Fabulous stay, room was great and perfect for our dog with a private terrace. Swim relaxing if maybe a little cold. Room and service excellent and best breakfast i've had in a long time
I came for a yoga retreat with my two adult daughters and we are having a lovely time. The yoga classes have been relaxing, the spa is beautiful. We all had facials as part of the package. The food has also been excellent.
Not only is this hotel in a fantastic location near the beach, it is beautiful designed and decorated with high standards of cleanliness. This however, is not its best attribute. The staff are all delightful, warm, friendly and engaging. The high level of customer service has really made our stay very enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this hotel and plan to return.
