Fodor's Expert Review The Scarlet

Tredragon Rd., Newquay, Cornwall, TR8 4DQ, England Fodor's Choice

The pampering begins the moment you enter this adults-only beachside hotel when you are greeted with a drink by the enthusiastic and highly professional staff, followed by a tour of the facilities. Arranged over five levels, all of the bright, modern rooms offer views over the sands and cliffs of Mawgan Porth beach, which are easily accessed via a path from the hotel. The lounges, sheltered garden, and library offer comfortable nooks for relaxation, while the indoor and outdoor pools, spa treatments, and hot tub overlooking the sea will give you a bodily boost. The flair and positivity of the hotel's ethos extends to the restaurant, where each dish and wine offering is introduced with informed passion.
