Redruth is the perfect strategic base for exploring Cornwall. Located right in the centre of the county, you are never more than 20 minutes from either the north coast surf or the south coast sailing waters. Accommodation here offers incredible value compared to St Ives or Falmouth, with the added bonus of being steeped in the town’s rich industrial history.
From spa hotels set in private parkland to cosy rooms above traditional pubs, here is our curated guide to sleeping in Redruth.
Our Top Picks
These three properties offer the best combination of comfort, location, and character.

2. The Countryman Inn (Best for Traditional Character)
Located in the quiet hamlet of Piece, just a five-minute drive from the town centre, The Countryman Inn offers a classic Cornish pub experience.
