This elegant seaside hotel in a picture-book village with views of the enchanting Cornish coast is owned by designer Olga Polizzi and her husband, historian William Shawcross. The five interconnecting hillside buildings contain 30 stylish lodgings furnished with antiques from Penzance. Rooms 1, 5, 6 and 12 open onto private terraces (all accommodations lack A/C). Facilities include a glorious sundeck, a relaxing lounge, a fine indoor-outdoor seafood-oriented dining room, a kids’ playroom, a spa treatment room and a beach club with a juice bar and a seasonal oyster bar. Day sails in Falmouth Bay are offered May to the end of September on the hotel’s classic 46-foot wooden racing yacht. Other activities include clifftop walks and visits to nearby gardens.
