Victorian features blend with modern comforts and contemporary style at this B&B with five gorgeous, uncluttered bedrooms, where new arrivals are greeted with home-baked cakes or biscuits and breakfast choices might include a full Mexican, full Spanish, maybe eggs Kejriwal, and artisan breads.

With a youthful vibe and brimming with fun, this quirky hotel and local hangout, occupying a Georgian coach house above the harbour, has beach-shack chic bedrooms, a café, cocktail bar and curated art collection.

Each of the beautiful, uncluttered bedrooms has a sea view at Susan Stuart's Georgian house B&B in a subtropical garden, overlooking the harbour and Mount's Bay, where guests are free to drop into the kitchen for coffee and cake, and breakfast is exceptional.

There are splendid views across the causeway to St Michael's Mount from some of the simple, chic bedrooms, as well as from the beach bar, sun terrace, and the new Shutters restaurant at this boutique hotel, which serves bistro-style dishes, light bites and sharing plates in a relaxed, informal setting.

Some of the best of the light, bright bedrooms have spectacular sea views to St Michael's Mount at this good-value, family-run former coaching inn, where pub classics are served in the Cutty Sark restaurant and bar.

Occupying the entire second floor of a Victorian house just yards from the beach, this chic B&B offers privacy and plenty of space.

This hotel in a hillside village with golden-sandy bay, close to buzzing, arty St Ives, has smart contemporary interiors, coastal-chic bedrooms, a varied menu of locally sourced dishes, and guest use of spa, pool and salon at sister property the Carbis Bay Hotel.

Just four minutes by train from arty downtown St Ives, this adults-only 1930s hotel is a serene refuge from the bustle, with views over the clear waters of St Ives Bay.
