The Best Hotels With Views to Book in Cornwall, England

With hundreds of miles of coastline and swathes of untouched natural beauty, Cornwall is packed with views that encourage serious daydreaming. Seeking a restaurant that rests on a cliff edge? Or perhaps a king-size bed where you can watch the world go by? All that – and more – is on offer in our spectacular selection of hotels with sea views in Cornwall, bookable on Culture Trip.
Mount Haven
Hotel

With dazzling views of St Michael’s Mount, this 20-room boutique hotel feels tranquil and secluded with an elevated position above Marazion. The contemporary rooms are spread over two floors, and the best have magnetic views of Mount’s Bay with its passing ships and puttering boats. There’s also a pretty rock garden and sun-soaked Terrace Bar where you can soak up the view with a cocktail in hand, before heading downstairs to the restaurant for dishes that are fresh, seasonal and elegant.
Boskerris
Hotel

The decked terrace of this clifftop bolthole is the perfect vantage point from which to take in views across St Ives Bay. Kick back in a rattan chair while watching the sea stretching out to the horizon. Many of the individually styled, contemporary rooms also look out across the ocean – the suitably named Celebration is the largest, with a sunken bath for two. In the restaurant and bar, the menu reflects the coastal location, from the seafood soup to the Cornish sparkling wine.
Greenbank Hotel
Hotel

Set on the water’s edge, Greenbank has panoramic vistas of Falmouth with its boats bobbing in the harbour and gulls wheeling overhead. Take stock of it all from the sun-soaked terrace for an al fresco drink, or from the cosy restaurant with its large windows and smart parquet flooring. The Lookout Suite is the best room for view-finders, where you can spend hours watching the world idle by from the comfort of your bed or private balcony.
Talland Bay
Hotel, Luxury

Wake up and open your windows to a manicured lawn that tumbles down the big blue sea. Talland Bay has an enviable position on the dramatic south coast between Portlooe and Lantic Bay – with views to match. Guest rooms have views towards either the sea or the gardens for those preferring more of a country feel. Whichever you choose, you’ll feel blissfully removed from all things urban.
Lewinnick Lodge
Hotel

Couched in a cliff on Cornwall’s windswept north coast, Lewinnick Lodge is the ultimate storm-watching spot. Marvel at the huge Atlantic rollers crashing in from the large glass windows in the restaurant, where the menu has a seafood slant. The hotel has six sea-view rooms, sunken into the cliff, where you can watch the waves from the comfort of your bed or bath.
Seavista B&B
Bed and Breakfast

This luxury B&B has a small and homely feel with big views. With just one bedroom, it’s positioned above Mawgan Porth beach on the north coast. Take in the gold sand and rugged cliffs from your private terrace, which has a hot tub waiting in one corner. Guests can pamper themselves by booking a massage to their room and feast on breakfasts of honey-roast halloumi and superfood porridge while watching those views. Hotels with a sea view in Cornwall are rarely so indulgent.
The Godolphin
Inn

Hotels with sea views in Cornwall are one thing, but this former coaching inn also offers an up-close sight of Mount’s Bay and the famous St Michael’s Mount. It’s been converted into a contemporary restaurant with 10 rooms, and has pride of place in Marazion with its galleries, cafes and beach. Book a sea-view suite for the best panoramas and a balcony. Or simply head to the two-storey restaurant, where staff in striped tops serve hearty, locally sourced food.
Driftwood Hotel
Hotel, Luxury
