If you are planning a short break, holiday or event in Cornwall, Devon or Lancashire then the locations of Richardson Hotels should appeal as they are all in recommended places to visit.
Home to The Fowey Hotel, the port of Fowey is a popular year round destination, famous for its annual Daphne DuMaurier Literary Festival and the Fowey Royal Regatta. Fowey is perfect for those who love to be on or near water, close to The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and many of Cornwall's most popular attractions. It offers beaches, good walking and a variety of water-based activities.
Small but beautiful fits the village of St Mawes, on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, like a glove. The Idle Rocks Hotel sits perched on the harbour wall, cottages and gardens tumble down green hills towards the sea, a protective Castle stands at the very tip, boats on holiday and business putter about the harbour, St Anthony's lighthouse on the headland beckons – this is the Cornish idyll.
The historic port of Falmouth, home to The Falmouth Hotel, is a micro- Mediterranean paradise with palm tree lined streets, a serious harbour and a wonderful mix of shops, galleries, chandlers, theatre and arts. It is also home to the National Maritime Museum. Just beyond Falmouth are the creeks and hamlets of Helford to be explored, the wilds of the Lizard Peninsula and seven of the best gardens in Cornwall.
The 4 star Metropole Hotel is the first (and only) grand building that you notice on entering the vibrant town of Padstow, aka the sea food capital of Great Britain (thanks in the main to Rick Stein & co)! Padstow is a lively, working port with a vibrant atmosphere. The town is a perfect size to walk and explore, not to mention the picturesque surroundings of the Camel estuary and undulating coastline that give Padstow its year round holiday hat.
Torquay, home to the 4 star Grand Hotel, sits in the heart of the English Riviera, spread around the sweep of Torbay. Torquay is home to the Living Coasts Marine habitat, a UNESCO Global Geopark, some of the most spectacular caverns in the UK, a green Country Park with Lake (unusual in an English seaside town), giant High Flyer Balloon and at one time, home and inspiration for one Agatha Christie.
Eaves Hall nestles in the heart of Lancashire's Ribble valley. Aside from glorious walking and unspoilt countryside and villages, the area is where you'll find the infamous Pendle Hill and the infamous Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland (an ANOB - Area of Natural Beauty). The river Ribble is known for its good fishing and Eaves Hall enjoys fishing rights on the river Ribble.
