St Moritz Hotel

St Moritz Hotel Overview

First Impressions

The St Moritz Hotel sits right on the edge of Trebetherick, and honestly, the moment you pull up, you know you’ve found something special. This four-star property has that classic Cornish coastal charm without trying too hard — you know what I mean? The building itself feels like it belongs here, perched between the dramatic coastline and those rolling green fields that make this part of Cornwall so distinctive.

Location & Surroundings

Here’s the thing about Trebetherick — it’s one of those spots that locals have been quietly enjoying for years while tourists flock to the busier towns nearby. You’re literally a stone’s throw from Daymer Bay, which is honestly one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in North Cornwall. The hotel’s position means you can walk to Polzeath Beach in about ten minutes, but you’re tucked away from the summer crowds that can make the main beach area feel a bit hectic. I mean, there’s a reason couples rate this location so highly — it strikes that perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility.

The Room Experience

My room had those lovely sea glimpses that make you want to linger by the window with your morning coffee. The décor feels fresh and contemporary without losing that coastal character — think soft blues and whites with touches of driftwood and local artwork. What I really appreciated was the attention to practical details; good lighting for reading, proper blackout curtains, and a bathroom that actually has space to spread out your things. The beds are genuinely comfortable too, which isn’t always a given even in well-regarded hotels.

Dining & Amenities

The breakfast situation here is actually quite impressive — they’ve got the full spread covered with continental options, proper full English, and even breakfast to go if you’re planning an early beach walk or coastal hike. The restaurant focuses on local ingredients, and you can taste the difference in everything from the Cornish cheeses to the fresh seafood. There’s also free parking on-site, which might not sound exciting but trust me, during peak season in Cornwall, it’s worth its weight in gold.

Why Guests Love It

What sets the St Moritz Hotel apart is how it captures the essence of this particular corner of Cornwall without the pretension you sometimes find at coastal properties. The staff genuinely know the area — they’ll point you toward the best tide pools at Daymer Bay or suggest which coastal path offers the most dramatic sunset views. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re experiencing the real North Cornwall, not just a sanitized tourist version of it. The combination of that prime location, thoughtful service, and rooms that actually deliver on comfort makes it easy to see why people return year after year.

Hotel in Cornwall reservations spike before Boardmasters festival, so surfers lock in balconies with Atlantic views.
