Sands Resort Hotel & Spa, Cornwall

Sands Resort Hotel & Spa

Super-friendly and accommodating staff and great food are just two of the draws of the Sands Resort Hotel & Spa in western Cornwall, just above Watergate Bay (home to Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant as well as a fantastic surfing spot). This hotel offers a paradise for younger children, with masses of fantastic facilities, but parents aren’t forgotten, with kids’ clubs, a spa and baby-listening all provided. Although it doesn’t offer the luxury of similar nearby resorts, the Sands Resort Hotel & Spa prices itself accordingly, making it great-value for relaxing family holidays and breaks. And to top it off, the Sands Resort Hotel & Spa has recently been voted the best family hotel in UK and Europe by the Trip Advisor's Travellers Choice Awards.
