Cornwall Hotels - Size, Type & Locations

Looking for large conference and leisure hotels in Cornwall with more than 50 rooms? You'll find them in many prime locations, and often with leisure, spa and fine restaurant facilities, in Looe, Penzance, Newquay, Falmouth, Padstow, Bude, Truro, Bodmin Moor and in other rural and seaside locations across Cornwall. Newquay, Falmouth and Penzance are particularly good for larger hotels offering conference facilities, but find smaller specialist spa hotels with conference facilities in St Ives and in Bodmin Moor with outdoor team working activities offered! Group consortia hotels generally offer excellent leisure and conference facilities, with all en-suite rooms, function rooms and some may be licensed for civil wedding ceremonies. There are many large character castle styled Cornwall hotels, for example in Tintagel and St Ives for that unique Cornwall conference hotel experience.

Castle styled Cornwall Hotels offer the ultimate romantic hotel and leisure break. Country house hotels usually pertain to some historic character and are usually set within their own grounds, offering perfect wedding and event settings, as well as romantic weekend breaks - watch out for the four posters! Many are at the luxury end, with some beautifully romantic luxury hotels with spa and de-luxe suite rooms, plus golf course and leisure facilities around the Cornish Coast at Fowey, Falmouth and St Ives. Look the Isles of Scilly for some of the most luxurious hotels in the UK (with a price to match!).

Townhouse hotels may be a little smaller, but benefit from close proximity to town centre attractions. Find real character townhouse hotels in Truro, Looe, Falmouth, Penzance and Padstow. Many are historic old ship inns or Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian converted townhouses offering real charm and character and their smaller size means more of an emphasis on personal service. For the best choice of Cornwall family holiday hotels look to the superb choice of Newquay hotels, many with in-house entertainment, restaurants, indoor pools and kids entertainment. Newquay hotels also serve the stag and hen visitors well, with numerous group accommodation deals or specialist Newquay surfing packages - Cornwall has both Budget and Luxury hotels covered, to suit all tastes, budgets and holiday requirements.

Cornwall Hotels - Size, Type & Locations

Small Cornwall hotels will range in size up to 20 rooms, and you can be pretty sure you'll be getting lots of charm and historic character. Luxury small hotels abound in Cornwall, whether they be converted farmhouses or barns around Bodmin Moor or the Tamar Valley, or character maritime buildings in many of Cornwall's historic fishing villages and towns such as Penzance, St Agnes, St Ives and Looe.

Cornwall Hotels Star Ratings - One and Two Star Hotels

In England we now have an amalgamated rating system for accommodations. For Hotels, the star rating system applies and whether it's ETC, RAC or AA star ratings, they all follow the same definition below, which is good news and avoids confusion. These definitions apply only to England, not Scotland and Wales which have their own hotel rating systems. The Star rating scheme is awarded from one to five stars for hotels. The rating reflects on issues of quality including customer care, the range of services available, and the variety and standard of facilities. As a basic minimum the one-star hotel has guaranteed at least 75% of bedrooms with en-suite or private facilities. Watch out for other uniquely Cornwall seal of approvals for accommodation, for example the South East Cornwall Tourism Association, the Visit Cornwall Quality Member and Best of Bodmin Moor approval seals.

For those rare five star hotels, guests are assured of luxurious and spacious accommodation to the highest standards of international quality, accompanied by service excellence and superior cuisine. A hotel with a two star rating will include all criteria of a one star hotel, plus additions, and a three star hotel will include all two star hotel services plus extras and so forth. When you see a star rating you know that the hotel has been visited overnight and anonymously by qualified inspectors working to the same high standards, making it easier for you to identify quality accommodation you can trust.

One Star Hotels - with a One Star Hotel rating guests can be assured of a high standard of cleanliness and practical, ample facilities and services. Service will be friendly, with friendly staff always on hand to assist. A restaurant service and eating area for breakfasts and sometimes evening meal services will be available. In summary then expect at least 75% of bedrooms with en-suite or private bathroom facilities, plus alcoholic drinks served in a lounge or bar area. Two Stars - A two star rated hotel will provide above average comfort and facilities, included well equipped bedrooms. All rooms will have en-suite or private bathroom amenities and expect as standard a colour tv, a high standard of personal service and good food and drink. In summary expect a restaurant or dining room serving breakfast seven days a week and evening meal/dinner at least five days a week. Also, a lift may be available for extra accessibility.
