The Metropole Hotel, Cornwall

This Victorian Hotel, situated in one of the most scenic areas of the British Isles, stands on a hilltop with an amazing view out over Padstow Harbour. Walk along the waterfront or one of the area’s many unspoiled beaches. Try some fabulous seafood – the local speciality. Wander through Padstow’s narrow streets and buy some handmade souvenirs from one of the many colourful shops. This is an area with a fascinating history. Take a short trip to Tintagel where you can visit the ruins, claimed to be those of the legendary King Arthur’s castle. You can end the day with a swim in the hotel’s heated outdoor pool. The Metropole Hotel is ideal for those who want to experience the mystery of Cornwall.
