Hotel Meudon in Falmouth, England

The hotel sits on 8.5 acres of subtropical valley gardens that sweep down to its own private beach at Bream Cove. This beach offers a secluded spot for swimming, snorkeling, and rock pooling, with direct access to the South West Coast Path. Guests can walk the winding paths through exotic plants and camellias before reaching the shingle cove.

The Restaurant serves dinner from 6pm to 9pm daily, with views across the garden toward Falmouth Bay and a menu built on locally sourced ingredients. Freddie's Bar stocks a range of whiskies and gins alongside artisan Cornish ales from local breweries and a full wine list. Breakfast offers a cooked-to-order option with bubble and squeak alongside fresh fruit, pastries, and local yoghurt.

All guest rooms look out over the garden, with suites offering private patios or balconies and Cove rooms opening directly onto the garden through patio doors. Rooms include a seating area, flat-screen TV, and en-suite facilities with free toiletries, while the family room can accommodate guests with children. The hotel is dog-friendly, with designated dining areas for pets in the Lounge and access to the beach year-round for dogs.
