Harbour Hotel St Ives
Harbour Hotel St Ives overlooks Porthminster Beach and St Ives Bay. The hotel combines accommodation with a restaurant, bar, terrace and HarSPA facilities, including an indoor pool and treatment rooms. Views and room layouts vary by category. Compare the accommodation details and any dining or spa inclusions before booking a stay; treatments have their own reservation arrangements.
Plan your visit →Carbis Bay Estate
Carbis Bay Estate offers coastal hotel accommodation beside Carbis Bay, near St Ives. The estate includes a spa, an outdoor pool and several dining options overlooking or close to the beach. Accommodation and restaurant bookings cover different parts of the estate. Check the exact building, room or property and included facilities when arranging a stay, rather than assuming all options have the same layout or view.
Plan your visit →Kota Rooms
Kota offers guest rooms at Harbour Head in Porthleven, including family room options and en-suite bathrooms. The operator now places Kota’s restaurant in a private space inside nearby Kota Kai, rather than at the accommodation pin. Breakfast arrangements also vary between the two venues. Confirm the accommodation address and the current dining venue separately when booking a stay or meal.
Plan your visit →Harris's Restaurant
Harris’s Restaurant is a small restaurant in central Penzance. Its cooking uses fish and shellfish from Newlyn alongside meat and locally grown produce, with dishes prepared to order. The published menus are examples rather than a promise that every dish is available on your chosen date. Discuss food allergies directly with the team, since not every ingredient is listed on the menu.
Plan your visit →Harbour Lights
Harbour Lights is a fish-and-chip restaurant and takeaway on Arwenack Street in Falmouth. It offers eat-in dining and takeaway menus, with vegetarian and vegan choices alongside fish dishes. Restaurant and takeaway opening hours differ, so check the service you intend to use. Speak to the team about allergies and preparation requirements rather than assuming a menu label guarantees an allergen-free meal.
Plan your visit →Paradise Park
Paradise Park in Hayle is a wildlife sanctuary with extensive bird collections, gardens and the JungleBarn indoor play facility. The park’s conservation work includes Operation Chough, while visitor programmes may include seasonal displays and activities. Outdoor wildlife areas and indoor play have different ticket options and conditions. Check the day’s programme and whether JungleBarn access is included in the ticket you select.
Plan your visit →Cornish Seal Sanctuary
Cornish Seal Sanctuary at Gweek is a wildlife charity that rescues and rehabilitates grey seal pups from Cornwall’s coast. A visit introduces resident animals and the individual rescue stories behind their care. Rehabilitation work varies with the season and animals’ needs, so particular arrivals or treatments cannot be guaranteed. Check the daily programme, ticket options and access information before planning a visit.
Plan your visit →Trebah Garden
Trebah Garden is a subtropical valley garden at Mawnan Smith, near Falmouth. Paths lead through seasonal planting and mature trees towards a beach on the Helford River. The valley changes through the year, with spring flowering shrubs, summer gunnera and autumn hydrangeas. Dogs must remain on leads, including on the beach. Check the access guide for the terrain and routes that suit your visit.
