It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide.

Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Eco values as well as enjoyment are fundamental to this cliff-top hotel, with sea thrift-covered roof, sweeping curves, reed-filtered pool and walls of windows to soak up the light and the seascape. A sister to Bedruthan (see entry), it makes the most of its commanding position above the beach at Mawgan Porth. The view is on show everywhere you go, from the restaurant with its outdoor terrace and delicious food to the sublime spa. Outdoor hot tubs are perfectly positioned to watch the sun set, and a meadow garden with private pods runs down to the South West Coast Path. The Scandi-styled bedrooms, with stripped-wood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, all have outside space – a balcony, terrace or rooftop viewing 'pod'. The relaxed but efficient service adds to the air of serenity in this adults-only bolthole. Public spaces have bespoke furniture and works by Cornish artists. Dinner, from a short set-price menu, might include dishes such as monkfish, masala butter sauce, creme fresh, or gnocchi with vegetables; there are also plant-based and tasting menus. The hotel offers complimentary yoga, tai chi, meditation and sound-bath sessions.
