Fabulous food for peckish people

Our clifftop kitchen always prefers to cook from scratch; Summer squash curries, thickly-crusted pies and bright seasonal salads. We love the kind of natural, nourishing cooking that gives little legs the energy to go again. You’ll also find plenty of sturdy high chairs to borrow, alongside a strong stock of unbreakable plastic bowls, cups and cutlery.

With a hearty artisan bakery breakfast, there is something to fill all tummies before a morning of fun-filled memory making.

Time together, time to yourselves

We understand that sometimes grown-ups may want some time just to themselves. When that moment comes, we recommend trying the Ogo restaurant or perhaps some time in our sea-view spa.

And to help you keep an eye on our smaller guests, we’ve partnered with the babysitters at the Parent & Child Nanny Agency - their registered babysitters have all been checked with DBS Enhanced Disclosure and are trained in paediatric first aid. We ask that you organise any babysitting with the agency directly before heading to Bedruthan.

A Natural Playground

From here, the wide Mawgan Porth beach is just a short stroll down a sandy path away. Discover rock pools or learn to surf with our friends at Kingsurf. From there you’ll soon come across the South West Coast Path - ramble north for Bedruthan Steps, Booby’s Bay and the lighthouse at Trevose Head, or go south to Watergate Bay and Newquay. And just around the corner is Carnewas, a Dark Sky Discovery Site perfect for evening stargazing with budding astronauts.

And when you return back up the hill, you’ll find plenty more to do.

And don’t forget our indoor and outdoor swimming pools and tennis courts - adventure’s only ever a quick sprint away.

On drizzly days, retreat to our indoor cinema room to re-discover old classics or challenge each other with the games console, or simply hunker down together with blankets, hot chocolates, and board games.
