The Seven Beautifully Located Hotels In UK

By: Yvonne06 Scott06

Locations Of Seven Beautiful Hotels In United Kingdom

Any entrepreneur would select the locations of their new hotels carefully. It is a key factor that determines the success or failure of the hotel business. The location of the Richardson hotel had made it extremely popular. Seven hotels are located in beautiful location of Lancashire, Cumbria, Devon and Cornwall.
In Cornwall we have four hotels. Located in the popular towns of Padstow and Fowey are The Metropole (AA 4 star, 1 Rosette) and The Fowey (AA 4 star, 2 Rosettes) overlooking the Camel Estuary and the Fowey Estuary respectively. The Idle Rocks hotel (AA 3 star, 2 Rosettes) sits in the pretty village of St Mawes, perched on the edge of the harbour wall, getting you as close to the to the water as it is possible to be. The Falmouth (AA 3 star, 1 Rosette) in the port of Falmouth offers an endless sea view as well as a bonus magnificent view of historic Pendennis Castle. The water views from each hotel are different but equally tantalising and waiting to be experienced by all!
Beech Hill Hotel, Windermere, Cumbria
Some hotels are fortunate in being situated in the most perfect of natural locations and The Beech Hill hotel is one of them. As you enter its doors you are confronted with a floor to ceiling, end to end panoramic vista of Lake Windermere, with the mountain of Coniston Old Man framed bang in the centre of it. Everything else is immediately forgotten!
This charming hotel has 58 bedrooms and 52 of them offer views of the lake. It also has one of the most luxurious suites in the Northwest in The Wordsworth that boasts, amongst other luxuries, its own outdoor hot tub and private access to the hotel's indoor swimming pool.
The Beech Hill has held 2 AA Rosettes for good food for over 8 years and eating here is an unforgettable experience. Choose from the Simple Taste menu or the Gourmet menu - whichever you opt for you are in for a culinary treat! The Griffin Bar also offers tea, coffee, light lunches and meals.
The hotel has an indoor pool and a large terraced garden that leads down to a private beach and jetty. It also has a generous parking area. The lounge area, with those mesmerising views, is full of comfortable seating that you can just sink into and drink in the vista before you.
If you can muster the will to leave the hotel you'll find there's plenty to do. Bowness-on-Windermere, the heartbeat of the area, is just down the road. William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, Holker Hall and Gardens, Lakeland Plastics kitchen delights, sticky toffee puddings from Cartmel, cycling, walking, fishing - whatever your interest or hobby, the team at the Beech Hill will do their utmost to point you in the right direction. One of the finest Hotels in Windermere
Just across the border in Devon is the AA 4 star Grand Hotel, situated on Torquay's sea front in the heart of the English Riviera. Aside from a great location, the Grand offers excellent facilities with indoor and outdoor pools, gym, sun shower, Jacuzzi, tennis court and sauna.
Not to be outdone is the Beech Hill hotel (AA 3 star, 2 Rosettes), which sits on the eastern bank of Lake Windermere - its vista of lake and mountains is so good it's mesmerising!
We have dipped our toe on the land too, with Eaves Hall (AA 3 star), a delightful country house hotel set in 13 acres of landscaped gardens and countryside in the heart of Lancashire's Ribble Valley. This peaceful corner of England has a lot to offer and it's still a best kept secret!

The Grand Hotel, Torquay, Devon
The AA 4 star Grand hotel is a beautiful Victorian building situated in a prime position on Torquay's sea front at the heart of the English Riviera. A fine example of Victorian Hotels in Devon. Inside it’s a marvellous mix of period character from the Victorian and Art Deco eras and modern chic. It has 131 bedrooms, many of which overlook the majestic sweep of Torbay. The Gainsborough restaurant offers a varied a la carte menu of delicious dishes, catering to any size appetite. The Compass Café Bar has acres of comfortable seating, fantastic views over the bay and a delightful all day and evening menu that takes advantage of the hotel’s in-house bakery. The Café Bar's terrace is one of the best spots in Torquay for a sundowner or something to eat.
The hotel has an excellent range of leisure facilities that include: indoor and outdoor pools, Jacuzzi, Gym, sun shower and outdoor tennis court. From The Grand it's a short stroll into Torquay's centre and harbour area following the sweep of the bay. There you'll find plenty to do with shops, cafes, Torquay's Living Coasts, theatre and even a Victorian shopping area - no chance of being bored here! The hotel also has easy access to the beauty of Cockington village and Country Park and of course, the neighbouring resorts of Paignton and Brixham are just down the road.
The Idle Rocks Hotel, St Mawes, Cornwall
The Idle Rocks occupies one of the prettiest and most desirable spots in Cornwall. It sits perched on the edge of the harbour wall in the quaint fishing village of St Mawes, on the tip of the Roseland Peninsular, an AONB. (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). From its spacious terrace one can sit for hours watching the hustle and bustle on the harbour and quay front. An outstanding location for any Hotels in Cornwall.
The hotel has 27 bedrooms and many offer fantastic water views - in fact, some are so close to the water that you can almost imagine you are floating in it! The Idle Rocks has a fabulous reputation for its 2 AA Rosette Water's Edge restaurant, a venue that offers culinary delights that easily rival the wonderful water views enjoyed from every table.
It's a friendly, warm and hospitable little hotel that is every bit as charming as it looks.

The Metropole Hotel, Padstow Cornwall
The Metropole hotel dominates the landscape in the popular resort of Padstow, sitting on the brow of the gentle hill that leads into the town. This AA 4 star hotel has 58 bedrooms, many offering lovely views out over the Camel estuary and the harbour. It has an AA Rosette for good food and whilst seafood features on its menu (after all, Padstow is famous for it), there are dishes that feature more of the top quality, local produce that Cornwall is known for. The Met Café Bar offers a terrific menu for a less formal lunch or dinner. The hotel has an outdoor pool, open during July and August. It's worth noting that it also has more car parking space than most places in town! One of the finest hotels in Cornwall.
From its situation it is but a short stroll into the vibrant town centre. Aside from all the harbour activity - Padstow is very much a working harbour - there is a wonderful selection of shops, galleries and pottering stops. The town is busy throughout the year, more so in summer when there is often entertainment on the quay front adding to the lively atmosphere.
There are 7 beaches to choose from in the vicinity, including Rock on the other side of the estuary, accessible via foot ferry. The area is popular for water sports, walking and cycling as the Camel Trail section of the national cycle route leads from Padstow to Wadebridge. Some "must see" highlights easily accessible from Padstow include Bedruthan Steps, Lanhydrock House, Prideaux Place, Bodmin Moor and of course the spectacular cliff top walks around St Agnes.

The Fowey Hotel, Fowey, Cornwall
The AA 4 star Fowey hotel sits majestically above the Fowey estuary, offering wonderful views out over the water to the opposite village of Polruan and to sea. It is set in lovely landscaped gardens, one of which is open for Tea in the summer months. The hotel has 37 bedrooms and many provide those fabulous water views that confront you in every public area of the hotel.
The hotel has held 2 AA Rosettes for excellent food for nearly a decade so dinner at The Fowey is always an occasion to look forward to. The hotel also has a comprehensive Bar menu for lighter meals, prepared with equal care and attention.
From the hotel it is only a short stroll into the town of Fowey, with its irresistible collection of narrow streets, lanes, shops, galleries, eateries and its bustling harbour. In the opposite direction is some wonderful coastal walking and the hotel is only 15 minutes drive from the renowned Eden Project. Most of Cornwall's key attractions and sites are within easy driving distance of the hotel so it serves as a good base for exploring the rest of the county. Voted one of the most elegant hotels in Cornwall.

The Falmouth Hotel, Falmouth, Cornwall
The AA 3 star Falmouth hotel sits adjacent to Castle Beach (Blue Flag) in Falmouth with the glory of Pendennis Castle on the headland to its left and the bustle of town just a short walk away. Standing since the 1860's, this elegant chateau-style building, set in 5 acres of gardens, has 69 bedrooms, most offering wonderful sea, harbour or garden views. The hotel has an AA Rosette for good cuisine and its facilities include an indoor pool, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, outdoor putting course and a snooker room.
