Down the road from the heart of Cornwall lies the scenic Bedruthan Spa Hotel, perched on the top of the Cornish cliff tops with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel sits just a short stroll away from the secluded Mawgan Porth beach, making it an ideal coastal retreat. The hotel’s bright, airy, and spacious interiors provide a welcoming atmosphere, with stunning sea views from the restaurants, bars, hotel rooms, and spa facilities.
The Bedruthan Spa Hotel is family-friendly, offering areas for children with a pool table, crèche activities, and family crafts. The hotel is dog-friendly, perfect with a dog-friendly beach just around the corner. The hotel provides thoughtful amenities, including dog beds, blankets, towels, and bowls, along with a dog washing station at the entrance. Dogs are welcome to accompany you throughout the hotel, even at dinner, and there is a dog-friendly room service menu!
The cocktail bar offers a selection of alcoholic drinks that you can enjoy indoors or outside, taking in the amazing coastal views. The room itself is a haven of comfort, with stunning sea views visible through double doors overlooking the beach. It also includes a large bathroom and a cosy lounge area with a TV, perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. The hotel has thought of every detail, providing homemade cranberry cookies and a coffee machine so you can relax in the tub chairs while enjoying the ocean breeze that naturally cools the room.
The spa offers the ultimate relaxation experience, with fantastic views overlooking the sea and a range of amenities including a large hydro pool, steam room, Roman-style caldarium, sauna, indoor and outdoor pools, and a variety of spa treatments. Well-being and yoga classes are also included in the stay, adding to the sense of relaxation.
The Bedruthan offers two dining options, The Ogo and The Wild Café, both of which emphasise locally sourced ingredients. At The Ogo, we chose a three-course wine pairing meal, enhanced by a coastal ambience, relaxing instrumental music, and modern décor featuring round and semi-circular tables facing the sea. The space is filled with greenery and mood lighting, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere. The food was exceptional, beginning with sourdough bread with miso butter, raw dry-aged beef, delicately cooked mackerel and pea miso, followed by perfectly cooked rod line and bass with crispy skin, topped with Padstow courgettes and lobster sauce. The meal concluded with a Cornish yoghurt cake, complemented by elderflower ice cream and white chocolate mousse. The breakfast at Bedruthan is an artistry of local produce, offering a wide selection of both sweet and savoury options, including croissants, pastries, fresh fruit, and smoothies.
Given the Bedruthan Hotel and Spa’s idyllic cliff-top location, breathtaking Atlantic Ocean views, and thoughtful amenities, it is an exceptional choice for a coastal retreat. Whether you are looking to relax in the luxurious spa, enjoy a family-friendly vacation with your children and pets, or indulge in exquisite dining with locally sourced ingredients, Bedruthan offers something for everyone. I highly recommend a visit to the Bedruthan Hotel and Spa for a relaxing and luxurious Cornish retreat.
