This child- and dog-friendly hotel on the coast between Padstow and Newquay is one for the whole family. There's a real focus on children here with a programme of activities, craft room, soft play, tennis, kids' pools and cinema. A short walk leads down to Mawgan Porth, a large sandy beach with caves and rockpools to explore. The hotel has a retro-scandi feel and cheerful décor. There are expansive sea views from the public areas and many of the rooms. Sustainability and wellbeing are at the centre of things here: areas of the garden have been rewilded and there is an Ayurveda-inspired spa. Yoga is on offer, and regular craft workshops promote mindfulness.
A 15-minute drive away is popular Padstow with its charming fishing boats, top-notch seafood restaurants and child-friendly beaches along the Camel Estuary.
This cliff-top hotel sits above Mawgan Porth Beach between Newquay and Padstow.
By car: 1 hour 30 minutes from Exeter, under 3 hours from Bristol and 5 hours from London. Free on-site parking.
By train: London Paddington to Newquay takes around 5 hours. It's a 10-minute taxi to the hotel. thetrainline.com

Room 110 is great for families - it's a sea-view villa with a separate kids' bunk room and two bathrooms. Waking up to a view of the Atlantic and the sound of waves crashing on the shore was delightful.
