St Moritz – Trebetherick, Cornwall

More than just a hotel, St Moritz and its Cowshed Spa has elements of a transatlantic beach resort, as befits its name. In the quiet hamlet of Trebetherick, between Rock and Polzeath on the stunning Cornish north coast, it’s the ideal destination for a relaxing beach holiday, indulgent spa break or family get-together. The dramatic coastline, secret coves and St Enodoc links golf course provide the perfect backdrop at any time of year. Inside, whichever one of the rooms, suites, apartments, penthouses or villas you choose, it swiftly becomes your seaside sanctuary. Each has a chic, contemporary look, featuring modern furniture and spa goodies. Book a King Room and a stripy poolside beach hut is yours, too. In the leisure building you’ll find a Cowshed spa (the only one on the coast and outside the Soho House properties) while the Shorecrest Restaurant offers a tempting menu full of fresh, local, seasonal produce. The heated outdoor pool and Sea Side bar and café are open for the spring and summer months. The surrounding terrace, with loungers and sea views, is brilliant for people-watching and sunbathing.
