Bedruthan Hotel


A few miles along the coast from Newquay, the Bedruthan has earned a reputation as one of Cornwall's top family hotels. The boxy concrete exterior looks bland, but inside its rooms are fun and contemporary, with bright primary colours, artworks, spotty fabrics, and beanbags and sofas to lounge on. Activities aplenty will keep kids occupied, and there's a spa.
