Mini moon hotels in Cornwall
Clifftop hotels, sea views and spas at the far south-west tip of England.
Cornwall is a long drive from most of the UK, so it rewards a minimoon of three nights or more. In return you get sea views from the room, coastal walks and several well-known spa hotels.
The north coast around Newquay and Mawgan Porth is wilder and surfier; the south coast around Falmouth, St Mawes and the Lizard is gentler and more sheltered.
When to go: Summer is busy and booked early. Spring and autumn are calmer, and a winter storm from a spa window is part of the appeal.
