Bedruthan
A luxury family beach hotel overlooking Mawgan Porth beach
Beach lovers and surfers roll up for some luxury and pampering beside the waves at Mawgan Porth Beach. Hit the waves with expert instructors, dine on nature’s bounty overlooking the ocean and indulge in a sensory spa experience while the kids enjoy the adventure playground, soft play, clubs and activities.
“The Sensory Spa is a unique and invigorating experience after a day spent on the beach splashing around in the waves with the kids. As a family we just love that there is so much for all of us to do – inside and out. The kids love the adventure playground and football pitch, while I can relax in the hydro pool and dine in sophisticated surroundings. Mawgan Porth is also our favourite beach in Cornwall, and a perfect spot for rock pooling, picnics and surfing.”
Hayley Lawrence, Surfing mum and travel expert.
