The Cornwall Hotel and Spa - beautifully situated just outside St Austell and close to the South East Cornwall coast - has opened for business. Luxury hotel rooms, great spa and leisure facilities, and fine dining.
The Metropole Hotel in Padstow is situated high above the harbour, with great views across the Camel Estuary, but still within easy walking distance of Padstow's multitude of shops, great restaurants and atmospheric pubs. A traditional hotel with a warm feel, recently upgraded to 4-star standard including extensive renovations of the bedrooms.
The 5.5 mile walk from Looe to Polperro is the perfect introduction to the Cornwall section of the South West Coast Path. It's a relatively easy (and exceptionally scenic) walk, albeit with a few uphill climbs along the way.
