Nestled dramatically against one of Cornwall's most spectacular stretches of coastline, Watergate Bay Hotel offers more than just accommodation—it delivers an experience. This isn't your typical seaside hotel; it's a contemporary haven where the roar of the Atlantic and the endless horizon become part of your stay.
A Room With a View (And So Much More)
Forget stuffy decor and cramped quarters. Watergate Bay Hotel embraces modern, clean-lined design with floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the boundary between inside and out. Waking up to the sight of waves crashing against two miles of golden sand is standard here. The rooms are sanctuaries of comfort, many featuring private balconies that serve as the perfect front-row seat to Cornwall's breathtaking sunsets.
Culinary Excellence by the Sea
Food is at the heart of the Watergate Bay experience. The hotel's flagship restaurant, The Living Space, provides relaxed all-day dining with a focus on fresh, local produce. However, the true showstopper is the renowned Fifteen Cornwall, part of Jamie Oliver's network, which offers exquisite Italian-inspired dishes while supporting local apprentices. For something more casual, The Beach Hut delivers fantastic food and vibes right on the sand.
Adventure and Relaxation, Tailored to You
Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or seeking pure tranquillity, the hotel caters to every tempo. The Extreme Academy on the beach below offers surfing, kitesurfing, and paddleboarding lessons for all levels. After working up an appetite, retreat to the hotel's Swim Club, featuring an incredible ocean-view infinity pool, a luxurious spa for treatments, and a steam room to soothe those muscles.
The Perfect Base for Exploring Cornwall
Its location makes it an ideal hub for discovering North Cornwall's gems. The charming fishing village of Padstow, the dramatic cliffs of Bedruthan Steps, and the artistic enclave of St Ives are all within easy reach. Yet, with so much on offer at the hotel itself, you might find it hard to leave.
The Verdict: A World-Class Coastal Retreat
Watergate Bay Hotel masterfully combines raw natural beauty with sophisticated comfort. It's a place where you can truly switch off, breathe in the salty air, and immerse yourself in the best of Cornish coastal life. It's an investment in well-being that's worth every penny, perfect for couples, families, and solo travellers seeking a memorable escape.
