Gin, I absolutely love Coverack (and all the lovely places near it). I've never seen The Bay Hotel but if it's in Coverack it would be good enough for me.

I second the Carlyon bay hotel. We were there last year, can’t wait to go back.

Thanks, Nansnanny. We were finding it difficult to find a hotel that would suit us and our dates. Thank you to everyone who’s offered suggestions - appreciated. I will look at them all, might depend on what availability they have.

I cant remember the exact wording, but the meaning behind it was that
1) independent hotels have dropped to 50% of the English market share since roughly 2010.
2) covid has decimated hotel trade
3)Independant pretty off-the-beaten-track family run hotels were suffering the most.
4) the more hotels that are encouraged by the gov to house refugees/migrants/illegal immigrants etc.
The less choice there will be for holiday makers.

So as I said get in quick because this trend isnt going to stop any time soon.

Sorry Lynw

I didnt mean to rain on your parade 🌧
I hope you have a lovely break

You could look at the Hydro Hotel in Eastbourne. It’s not small but very spacious and retains the original features of the building. There are lovely views of the sea and the food is very good indeed. There’s a cooked breakfast served at your table or a continental buffet and the evening meals are varied and of a high standard.

Aviary Court, Redruth. Small hotel, food to die for.

The Brudenell in Aldeburgh is simply wonderful

Was just going to say the same! Especially Room 100.

Does anyone have recommendations for a comfortable/stylish hotel, preferably not too big, close to the sea for B/B and evening meal? South coast, Devon or Cornwall maybe or Sussex, Kent or Norfolk perhaps. There’s just so many to scroll through on the internet and although you can read reviews, it’s a mammoth task narrowing it down! I appreciate it’s difficult to recommend when you won’t know my exact requirements etc but just wondered if there’s somewhere you may heartily recommend for future use. Thank you.
