When we talk about Cornwall, most of us picture the county’s long golden beaches full of parasols, surfers, tourists, and the rest of all the high-season excitement. And whilst this is all accurate, there is in fact another side to Cornwall, away from the sunshine… Through the winter the county transforms into a mysterious land of moody seas and skies, crashing waves, differing wildlife, and so much more! If this side of Cornwall sparks your interest and you’ve got a trip planned, you’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve listed five of our favourite hotels in Cornwall for a winter getaway!
