Staying at Land’s End places you on the wildest edge of Cornwall. It is an experience defined by the Atlantic Ocean—whether you are watching storms roll in from a luxury hotel room or waking up under canvas with a view of the Longships Lighthouse. Accommodation here ranges from historic inns steeped in smuggling legends to campsites that offer some of the best sea views in the UK.
Dining at Land’s End is all about the view. Situated at the extreme south-westerly point of the British Isles, the food scene here is dominated by dramatic seascapes. Whether you are eating a pasty while watching the waves crash against the Longships Lighthouse or enjoying a Sunday roast in a pub once frequented by smugglers, the Atlantic Ocean is your constant companion.
While the Land’s End landmark itself has specific eateries, some of the best culinary experiences are found just a short coastal walk away in Sennen Cove.
There is a magical quality to Scilly that turns even a short break into an adventure. You can spend your mornings island-hopping on colourful wooden launches and your afternoons discovering Bronze Age burial chambers or white sand beaches that look like the Caribbean. It is a place to reconnect with nature, history, and the simple […]
The Isles of Scilly are unique—a sub-tropical archipelago located 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. Staying here feels like an adventure from a different era. There are no chain hotels, no high-rises, and luggage is often transported by tractor. You can choose between staying on the main hub of St Mary’s or escaping to the wilder “off-islands” where electricity was a luxury not so long ago.
From 16th-century castles to luxury tents on the water’s edge, here is our curated guide to sleeping on the islands.
Dining on the Isles of Scilly is an adventure in itself. It often involves hopping on a boat to get to dinner or walking along a coastal path to find a hidden crab shack. The produce here is exceptional—from lobster caught that morning in the crystal-clear waters to beef reared on the islands’ heathland.
Hayle is a town of two halves: a historic industrial harbour and a wild, sprawling coastline that boasts some of the finest beaches in Cornwall. It is a destination where you can spend the morning discovering the area’s World Heritage mining past and the afternoon surfing on three miles of golden sand.
Hayle offers a completely different accommodation experience to its famous neighbour, St Ives. Instead of cramped fishermen’s cottages,
Torpoint is often described as the “Gateway to Cornwall,” but for those in the know, it is the gateway to something far more special: the Rame Peninsula. This “forgotten corner” of the county offers a stark contrast to the busy north coast. Here, you will find quiet creeks, wild headlands, and grand country estates that have guarded the Tamar River for centuries.
Torpoint is often the first port of call for visitors arriving via the ferry, but it is much more than just a gateway. Staying here places you on the doorstep of the Rame Peninsula—Cornwall’s “forgotten corner”—while keeping you within easy reach of Plymouth’s amenities. The accommodation scene is understated but charming, featuring riverside inns, converted forts, and glamping spots with some of the best views in the county.
Hayle is famous for its “three miles of golden sand,” but it’s also becoming a serious foodie destination. The town is split into two main areas—Foundry and Copperhouse—and the dining scene reflects this mix, ranging from industrial-chic bistros in old foundries to beach shacks tucked into the dunes of Gwithian.
