The Hotel

The Newquay-based Kilbirnie Hotel soothes the senses with panoramic views of the Atlantic and its rugged coastline. Watersports enthusiasts can head to Fistral and Watergate beaches to enjoy surfing, while the Eden Project, an indoor rainforest, can be reached in a 30-minute drive.

Guests who would rather unwind and stay on site can take advantage of the hotel’s leisure facilities which include an indoor and outdoor pool, fitness suite and a quaint sun terrace.

The minimalist rooms come with tea and coffee provisions, TVs, and bathrooms with toiletries.

In the on-site restaurant, local seafood is used to create Cornish-inspired delicacies which can be paired with a range of wines, lagers, ales or ciders - all complemented with ocean views.

Groupon’s Guide To Cornwall

From Bude to Land’s End, Cornwall encompasses everything from chocolate-box villages to vast Atlantic coastlines and vibrant surfing hubs. As residents are rarely more than a half-hour drive from the sea, there’s no surprise it plays a huge part to Cornish life, with busy harbours and Michelin star awarded seafood restaurants allowing fish to go from boat to plate in 24 hours.

With clubs, bars, and extreme sports, Newquay has plenty to offer for a youthful crowd, while family-friendly Falmouth has more sheltered beaches and all-ages day outs such as the National Maritime Museum. Away from beach life, grown-up St Ives is an established arts centre, home to the Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth’s garden and a wealth of independent galleries. Inland a little, the Eden Project’s greenhouse biomes create spectacular tropical environs and an otherworldly, space-age feel. Visitors can also buy into the local legends on Bodmin Moor or hike along the rugged landscape to catch a glimpse of the fabled beast.
