Hotel Meudon

Cornwall, UK

Prefer to staycation? A popular spot for snorkelling and diving, Bream Cove is the quiet, sequestered beach privately owned by Hotel Meudon. Having relaunched in 2021 after extensive refurbishment during the pandemic, Hotel Meudon is the only hotel set in Cornish subtropical gardens and with direct access to a private beach.
