The Best Boutique Hotels to Book in Cornwall
As if Cornwall’s incredible scenery wasn’t enough, there’s a host of boutique hotels just waiting for you to unwind in at the end of a long day exploring. Sip cocktails with sea views in small villages, dine with world-famous chefs and fall into heavenly beds. Here’s our guide to the best boutique hotels in Cornwall, all bookable via Culture Trip.

9. Greenbank Hotel, for seafood lovers in Falmouth
Hotel
Falmouth is one of the most well known Cornish beach towns, and in a county full of rugged shores, that’s saying something. The town’s historic waterfront is your view from the Greenbank Hotel, which prides itself on its perfect location and distinctive heritage. Choose the turquoise-coloured Florence Suite and take advantage of the roll top bath and private balcony, or opt for a bright classic family room with harbour views. Don’t just look at the water, make the most of it; paddle-boarding and sailing are favourites amongst the locals, while fishing adventures are also available. The latest catches are waiting for you at the hotel restaurant, prepared by two Falmouth-born head chefs.
10. The Beach at Bude, for sandy shenanigans in Bude
Hotel
Carefully designed in a New England coastal style, the Beach at Bude offers 16 individually decorated rooms close to Summerleaze Beach in Bude. Even the classic double rooms have super king size beds and stylish walk-in showers, but opt for a suite to make use of a free-standing bath, classy interior and comfortable living space. Of course, no boutique stay in Cornwall is complete without the beach, and you couldn’t be much closer; a five-minute walk will allow you to spend the day basking in the sun, or take advantage of the quiet surfing opportunities away from the county’s more busier destinations. Grab a cocktail in the terrace bar after a busy day, but book early to avoid disappointment.
11. Karma St. Martin’s, for a foodie escape in the Scilly Isles
Hotel
Just a 15-minute flight from the mainland are the Isles of Scilly, a chain of five Caribbean-esque islands. Karma St. Martin’s is situated on the most north-east of the isles, St Martin, offering clear water and a rural idyll so, so far from city life. This luxury boutique hotel in Cornwall only offers the finest in its 30 rooms; take your pick from a deluxe double with garden views and an attractive interior, to the honeymoon suite and your own private balcony, spacious living room and stylish en-suite bathroom. Don’t forget to book into the on-site Cloudesley Shovell Restaurant – the freshly caught gourmet lobster rolls and chicken ballotine are just two reasons why it has two Rosette awards to its name.
