From the moment you turn into the drive it’s clear that you have arrived somewhere special. Tucked away in the hamlet of Trebetherick just outside Polzeath on the north coast of Cornwall, St Moritz’s art deco-style white washed architecture contrasts against the bright blue cloudless sky and the clear turquoise sea, providing the picture-perfect location for an ‘away from it all’ weekend.
There is a plethora of accommodation to choose from including 55 rooms and suites, 15 apartments and 32 villas, but for couples we recommend one of the hotel’s first floor Sea View Suites, which make the perfect hideaway. With a fully-fitted kitchen, private double balcony with views to die for, sumptuous king size bed and open plan living and dining areas, the suites also come with a full Sky package, perfect for those lazy lie ins.
Once you have settled into your room, it’s time to explore. The hotel’s location perched overlooking the Camel Estuary and Stepper Point, makes it the ideal place for visiting local beaches, with Polzeath and Daymer Bay just a 15-minute walk from the hotel along the South West coastpath.

The Buzz About Bude
Whilst October and November might be the start of quieter months for much of Cornwall, it seems that in Bude there is no sign of winding down from the summer hustle and bustle just yet. With art shows in October, plenty of independent shops and pubs open for business, two music festivals taking place in November alone and many more events to fill your diary with, Bude is definitely a place to be enjoyed all year round.

Cornwall - A Hub For Ethical Fashion
Catching on fast to the changes we need to make for our planet, is Cornwall. In the past several years we’ve been banning plastic from our homes and eateries, cleaning our beaches, and there are more refill, waste-free food stations popping up than ever. It’s a trend that’s easy to get behind, but one thing many of us tend to overlook is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to environmental waste of them all: clothing.
Call Of The Forest
It has to be said that Cornwall is probably not best known for its woodlands. In fact, there are many areas, such as Bodmin Moor, that seem almost completely devoid of trees. This scarcity of trees only serves to make the pockets of woodland that we do have even more precious.
