Overview
This is a great opportunity to explore another stretch of our amazing south west coastline, the stunning South Cornish Coast and the beautiful South Devon coastline are some of Englands’ finest and this alone is more than enough reason to visit! Towering cliffs and rugged headlands are all lapped by inviting Mediterranean blue waters and in between are secluded sandy bays & quaint fishing hamlets. Deep estuaries dramatically cut their way inland, carving beautiful isolated peninsulas. Local ferries will drop us onto these remote and peaceful headlands thereby allowing us to access some thoroughly enjoyable walks. Along the way we will call into picturesque villages and enjoy the hospitality of the inviting cafes or welcoming country inns. The delightful Duke of Cornwall Hotel is a treasure in the heart of Devon's city-by-the sea. It was built in the grand age of steam and the opulence of the time flows through Plymouth's first luxury hotel. Today on its 150 anniversary it continues to provide first class accommodation in a traditional friendly atmosphere … What more could you possibly want for a superb mini holiday weekend away…

Travel & Stay
The Duke of Cornwall, Plymouth's original character hotel, is a true treasure in the heart of Devon's city-by-the sea. Built during the Golden Age of steam, the Duke of Cornwall, was Plymouth's first luxury hotel and continues to provide first class accommodation today, with towers and turrets, ballrooms, oak panels, elaborate ceiling roses, Sir John Betjeman, Poet described The Duke of Cornwall "as one of the nation's finest examples of Victorian architecture". Indeed in 1988 a restoration programme began, which exposed the building's original features, engravings and mouldings making it the special place it is today. There are 72 rooms and suites, each with a unique view, some coastal, some cityscape. The restaurant holds 2 RAC Blue Ribbons and it is an AA Rosette award winning Restaurant, so we’ll be well fed too. Add to this is prominent position in the town, being, just minutes from the train stations, the excellent Theatre Royal and the lively Barbican and marina area. In fact it's the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful South West. Naturally all the hotel bedrooms are well appointed, ensuite and come with all the usual facilities including telephone, radio alarm, hair dryer, digital Freeview TV, tea and coffee making facilities and trouser press. 24-hour room service and internet access is also available. Oh and the hotel works closely with McCauleys Health Club which is two minutes’ walk from the hotel and can offer you a discounted session rate
