The best coastal mini-break begins with the same ingredients: a characterful pub, a comfy room and the sea within easy reach. Days can be spent exploring harbours, beaches and coast paths before returning to a welcoming bar, good food and the promise of a solid night’s sleep
St Austell Brewery has pubs dotted across the South West that deliver just these kinds of breaks. The Wellington in Boscastle combines centuries of history with sweeping views across the harbour and easy access to Cornwall’s dramatic north coast.
The Great Western in Newquay occupies a clifftop perch that overlooks golden sands, placing beach days and surf culture firmly on the doorstep. Meanwhile, the Royal Castle in Dartmouth (pictured) provides the opportunity to stay in a historic landmark building in the heart of the waterside town.
A two-night South West escape promises the chance to slow down and recharge amid some of the UK’s most stunning coastal scenery, and to have memorable adventures along the way.
