The setting
The Cornwall Hotel Spa & Estate is set in lush grounds near St. St Austell, just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre. This 4-star hotel consists of a main building and several cottages scattered throughout the wooded grounds. This allows guests to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while still having convenient access to shops, pubs, and the train station. The hotel offers free parking, making it an ideal starting point for road trips along the south coast. As soon as you turn off the main road, you’ll immediately feel the unique atmosphere of the countryside.

In addition to restaurants and bars where you can enjoy a pleasant evening, the hotel also features tennis courts for anyone who wants to play a game of tennis. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and the room layouts are suitable for both families with children and couples; in addition, there is a game room and a playground for children.

Your 3 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival, estate grounds and the spa
Drop the car in the free car park and take a slow walk around the estate to get your bearings. Once you've settled into the room, head over to the spa for a sauna and steam session, then a swim before dinner. Book a massage if you've planned ahead. Round off the evening at the bar with a quiet drink and an early night, ready for a fuller day tomorrow.
St Austell town and the brewery
After a leisurely morning, you’ll head to St. Austell to stroll through the town centre and browse the shops while sipping coffee. In the afternoon, consider visiting the St. St Austell Brewery. It’s the region’s most popular attraction, located just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. Take a tour of the brewery, sample different beers, and then take a leisurely stroll back through town. Pick up a few more treats to enjoy later, and round out the day with dinner at the hotel restaurant.
Tennis, pool time and a slow checkout
Use the last morning for the bits you didn't get to: a game on the tennis court, another swim, or a final spa treatment. Families can let the kids loose in the playroom or out on the playground while you pack at your own pace. Have a leisurely lunch at the restaurant or stop somewhere in town on the drive out, and aim to leave the estate unhurried.

When is the best time to visit?
July is the perfect choice. The days are long, and the weather in Cornwall is getting warmer—it’s the best time to fully enjoy the tennis courts and outdoor facilities on the hotel grounds. Since both the hotel and the town of St. St Austell are at their most popular in the summer, the hotel recommends that you book your rooms in advance.

Please check the tour schedule in advance and book your spots well in advance during the summer.
