Housel Bay hotel is perched on nature's edge, at the most southerly tip of mainland UK. A largely undiscovered part of Cornwall, filled with dramatic and untouched wild beauty. Opening in the summer of 1894, the Victorian architecture was designed by famous Cornishman, Silvanus Trevail. Be guided by the seasons, from slow summer evenings in the garden to winter starlit skies and cozy storm watching by the fire. Do a lot, or simply nothing at all. Let the rhythms of nature restore you. The Cornish Coast Path runs through the hotel gardens and provides access east and west to many of the most stunning locations in the British mainland's most southerly county. The tidal beach can be reached from steps directly from the property. Every room has an private bathroom and a TV for guests to enjoy, and some also have a seating area. Please note, our images show the room types not the specific room you are booking. Housel Bay Hotel offers two unique restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The Terrace features panoramic views of Housel Bay, a beautiful garden and the stunning Lizard Peninsula. Fallowfields restaurant has been awarded three rosettes, features an open kitchen, and offers a special tasting menu experience. Guests can enjoy local drinks in Marconi’s bar, the Cozy or in the beautiful garden with endless sea views. There is a yoga studio available for all guests, and a hidden beach just steps below the hotel.
